AfterFast, Reliable Sliding & Patio Doors Across Hollywood
Sliding and patio door replacement in Hollywood runs $2,800-$6,500 for most residential jobs, with impact-rated units required on every permitted installation because the entire city sits inside Florida’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. We’re the Sliding & Patio Doors crew that serves Hollywood from our South Florida office, and we know the difference between a coastal-spec install and the inland version that fails here. Call (754) 354-6649 to schedule your free measured survey - the written quote you receive is the same document we build from, with no change orders after.
Why Sightline Windows & Doors Miami Gardens Is Hollywood’s Preferred Sliding & Patio Doors Company
We’ve measured, specified, and installed Hollywood Impact Windows & Doors across Hollywood’s inland grid neighborhoods and its Intracoastal corridor properties since 2012. Every one of those 18,000+ openings left a documented photo record and a written price that never changed.
Our crews are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by license number before arrival - Haven Clause 3, Verified Crews. The person at your door matches the person on the record. Calls route to a live person, 24/7, not a voicemail queue or callback window.
We coordinate dispatch from our Miami office, with crews serving Hollywood locally. That proximity matters when a salt-corroded slider won’t lock or a wind-driven rain test during hurricane season exposes a failed seal. We’re familiar with the specific conditions off Hollywood Boulevard, in the Driftwood area, and along the A1A corridor where salt air hits from two directions.
Our Sliding & Patio Doors Services in Hollywood
Patio Doors
Standard patio door installations in Hollywood start around $2,800 for a single two-panel slider, but most jobs we spec run higher because HVHZ code requires impact-rated glazing even on non-waterfront properties. We measure your rough opening, note the exposure direction, and specify from PGT or ViewLux lines based on U-factor and SHGC requirements for your specific elevation. The measured survey you keep becomes the written quote - Haven Clause 1 - and that document governs every decision downstream.
Impact Sliding Glass Doors
Impact sliding glass doors are the default specification for every permitted replacement in Hollywood, not an upgrade option. These units carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) and meet large-missile impact standards with laminated glass interlayers that hold together even when fractured. A typical impact slider installation in Hollywood runs $3,800-$5,200 for a standard two-panel unit, with multi-panel or oversized openings climbing toward $6,500. We stock ES Windows and PGT impact lines specified by what your opening requires, not by what is in stock.
Sliding Glass Door Replacement
We recently replaced a 1970s thin-aluminum slider in a home off Hollywood Boulevard near the Intracoastal, where the original track was so corroded from salt air that the door would not roll without lifting, and the glass was single-pane with a failed seal. Our crew installed an ES Windows impact-rated sliding glass door with a stainless-steel track and marine-grade rollers, anchored with hot-dip galvanized fasteners, and the homeowner noticed the room felt quieter and cooler immediately. The wind mitigation report after the job qualified the home for insurance credits under Florida Statute 627.0629. Replacement jobs in Hollywood’s 1950s-70s housing stock almost always reveal this same corrosion pattern. Budget $3,200-$5,800 depending on opening size and framing condition.
Impact French Patio Doors
Impact French patio doors in Hollywood combine the aesthetic of hinged French doors with HVHZ-mandated impact glazing. These run $4,200-$6,500 installed, with the premium over standard sliders reflecting the more complex hardware, multi-point locking, and reinforced frame construction required for code compliance. We specify Therma-Tru and PGT French door lines with stainless or marine-grade hardware packages for Hollywood’s salt-air environment - the same spec that costs 15-20% less inland, where contractors can use standard galvanized hardware that fails here within five to seven years.
Screen Door Installation
Screen doors for impact-rated patio door systems in Hollywood must integrate with the primary door’s frame and weatherseal without compromising its impact rating. We install factory-matched screen panels from the same manufacturer line as your impact door, typically $380-$650 as an add-on to a primary door installation. Standalone screen door replacements on existing impact frames run $520-$890 depending on size and mesh specification.

AfterTrusted Brands We Service in Hollywood
We draw from eight verified manufacturer lines - PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux - and specify by performance tier and price range, not by margin. For Hollywood’s salt-air environment, we default to stainless or marine-grade hardware packages even when standard galvanized is listed as the base spec. PGT and ES Windows impact sliding lines dominate our Hollywood installations because their NOA documentation is current and their laminated interlayers have held up in post-storm inspections we’ve documented since 2012. We maintain local parts inventory for track, roller, and hardware replacements on the brands we install, which means a failed roller on a three-year-old slider doesn’t wait two weeks for a warehouse shipment.
Common Sliding & Patio Doors Problems We See in Hollywood Homes
- Salt-air corrosion seizes aluminum tracks and steel rollers. Hollywood’s position between the Atlantic and the Intracoastal exposes door hardware to salt from two directions. We replace standard steel rollers with marine-grade stainless units and specify hot-dip galvanized or stainless anchoring hardware - the coastal spec that adds $200-$400 to a job but prevents the seizure that makes a door unopenable in five years.
- Original 1950s-70s sliders fail code when replaced. The thin aluminum single-pane sliders in Hollywood’s inland neighborhoods cannot be replicated. Any permitted replacement triggers full impact-rated upgrade with laminated glass, Miami-Dade NOA, and HVHZ large-missile rating. Homeowners calling for a “like-for-like” swap learn the code reality during our measured survey.
- Non-impact or expired-NOA doors sold online or by out-of-county contractors. Products legal in Palm Beach or Orlando are code-prohibited in Hollywood. We encounter homeowners who purchased “impact-rated” doors that carry only a Florida Product Approval, not the Miami-Dade NOA required here. These installations fail wind mitigation inspections and can void insurance coverage.
- Condensation between panes on early impact-glass units. Hollywood’s humidity and temperature swings stress the edge seals on IGUs (insulated glass units) in impact doors installed during the 2000s-2010s. We diagnose seal failure versus frame leak, then specify replacement IGUs or full door replacement based on whether the original frame still carries a current NOA.
Pricing for Sliding & Patio Doors in Hollywood, FL
A standard two-panel impact sliding glass door installation in Hollywood typically runs $3,800-$5,200. Impact French patio doors range $4,200-$6,500. Multi-panel or oversized openings, structural reframing, or stucco repair can push jobs toward the upper end or beyond.
What moves the price: the hardware spec (marine-grade stainless versus standard galvanized), the glass package (low-E, tinted, or privacy options), and the framing condition (salt-corroded aluminum or wood rot requiring reframing). Every job gets a written line-item quote before any work starts - the measured survey you keep and the invoice match. Bring us a competitor’s written estimate and we’ll review it at no charge.

FAQs - Sliding & Patio Doors in Hollywood
No. Florida’s building code explicitly bans jalousie units as replacement windows anywhere in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which includes all of Hollywood. Any permitted replacement automatically triggers a full upgrade to impact-rated glazing with a Miami-Dade NOA. We encounter this surprise regularly in Hollywood’s postwar neighborhoods off Hollywood Boulevard and in the Driftwood area, where jalousie was the default 1950s-60s spec. Call (754) 354-6649 and we’ll walk through what the replacement spec looks like for your specific opening - estimates are free.
Hollywood’s HVHZ status mandates Miami-Dade NOA products with large-missile impact ratings, a standard that does not apply in counties just north. The hardware spec differs too: we use marine-grade stainless rollers and hot-dip galvanized or stainless anchoring hardware to survive salt air from the Atlantic and Intracoastal simultaneously. An inland contractor’s standard galvanized hardware fails here within five to seven years. The upfront price gap is typically 15-25% compared to non-HVHZ counties, but the coastal spec prevents the corrosion failure that makes the cheaper job cost more long-term. Call (754) 354-6649 for a written quote that names every material spec.
Yes. Every window and door replacement in Hollywood requires a permit because the city enforces HVHZ product approval standards at inspection. The permit process verifies that your new door carries a current Miami-Dade NOA and is installed to the anchoring and fastening schedule in that approval. We pull permits on every job and schedule inspections as part of our scope - included in your written quote, not added later. Call (754) 354-6649 to confirm whether your specific project triggers additional requirements.
Yes, if the installation is documented in a wind mitigation report. Florida Statute 627.0629 requires insurers to offer premium discounts for documented wind-resistant construction features, including impact-rated openings. Our installations include the product documentation and installation photographs that support your wind mitigation inspector’s findings. The homeowner off Hollywood Boulevard whose job we described above qualified for credits immediately. Call (754) 354-6649 - we can explain what documentation you’ll receive and how to present it to your inspector.
Specify low-E, impact-rated laminated glass with a solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) below 0.25 for Intracoastal-facing doors in Hollywood. The eastern and southern exposures across the water receive intense reflected glare and heat, and low-E coating rejects that infrared load without dark tinting that obscures the view. We typically spec PGT or ES Windows lines with this performance package for waterfront and Intracoastal properties. The right glass package adds $180-$340 to the base door but measurably reduces cooling load. Call (754) 354-6649 and we’ll run the performance numbers for your specific elevation.
