Fast, Reliable Window Replacement Across Hollywood
Window replacement in Hollywood runs $680-$1,850 per opening for impact-rated units, with full-frame jobs on older homes climbing higher when rotted jambs need rebuilding. We’re the Window Replacement team at Sightline Windows & Doors, dispatching from our Miami office to Hollywood daily. Call (754) 354-6649 to schedule your free measured survey; the written quote you receive is the same document we install from.
Hollywood’s position between the Atlantic and the Intracoastal Waterway creates a materials problem most contractors ignore. Salt air hits from both sides, eating standard carbon-steel fasteners in 3-5 years. We specify stainless-steel and hot-dip galvanized hardware on every Hollywood job, even when competitors bid the inland spec. The coastal version costs more upfront. It costs far less over a decade.
Why Sightline Windows & Doors Miami Gardens Is Hollywood’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
We’ve installed 18,000+ openings since 2012, every one with a written price before work started and a documented photo record when finished. Hollywood homeowners know us for the Haven Standard: five clauses, no exceptions. Haven Clause 1 means your measured survey and your quote are the same document. Haven Clause 3 means the technician who arrives is background-checked, uniformed, and identified by license number before stepping onto your property.
Our crews serve Hollywood from the Miami office, so scheduling doesn’t involve routing someone from Boca or Fort Myers. We know the local building department’s permit requirements, the HVHZ inspection process, and which Hollywood neighborhoods were built with what materials during the 1950s-1970s Broward land boom. That matters when your home still has original jalousie windows or single-pane aluminum sliders that predate current codes.

Our Window Replacement Services in Hollywood

Full Frame Replacement
Full frame replacement in Hollywood typically runs $1,200-$1,850 per opening, with the high end covering rotted wood jambs, failed flashing, and the marine-grade sealants required for salt-air exposure. Most Hollywood homes built between 1950 and 1975 need this level of work. The original construction used minimal flashing, and decades of Atlantic-Intracoastal salt cycling have compromised what little was there. We strip to the rough opening, rebuild with pressure-treated or composite framing where needed, and install impact-rated units with stainless-steel fasteners. The homeowner keeps the measured survey; we keep the photo record.

Insert Window Replacement
Insert replacement, where the existing frame remains intact, runs $680-$950 per opening in Hollywood. This works only when the original frame is structurally sound and the existing window is a standard size. We rarely recommend inserts for 1960s Hollywood homes with jalousie or early aluminum frames; the surrounding material is usually too compromised. When inserts do fit, we still upgrade to impact-rated glazing with Miami-Dade NOA certification. No exceptions. The HVHZ code allows nothing less.

Vinyl Replacement Windows
Vinyl replacement windows in Hollywood cost $890-$1,450 per opening installed, depending on size, impact rating, and whether the existing frame needs reinforcement. We specify vinyl frames with multi-chamber construction and reinforced sashes for HVHZ design pressures, not the budget vinyl sold in non-hurricane counties. For Hollywood’s climate, we pair these with low-E insulated glass and warm-edge spacers to combat the heat gain that drives cooling costs up 30-40% in unshaded homes. Brands we work with include PGT and ViewLux, specified by performance tier, not by what we have in stock.

Energy-Efficient Upgrade
Energy-efficient upgrades in Hollywood range from $1,050-$1,650 per opening when combined with impact-rated requirements. The upgrade path typically involves low-E coatings, argon gas fill, and thermally broken frames that cut solar heat gain while maintaining HVHZ structural ratings. Hollywood’s inland neighborhoods - the grid streets west of Federal Highway, near Hollywood Hills or Driftwood - often have unshaded east-west exposure that punishes standard glazing. We’ve measured attic temperatures dropping 12-18 degrees after full-window upgrades in these homes, with corresponding utility reductions. The homeowner receives the energy performance specs in writing: U-factor, SHGC, and visible light transmittance for every unit.

Window Maintenance & Care
Maintenance visits in Hollywood start at $180 for inspection, hardware adjustment, and seal evaluation. We document corrosion on fasteners, track wear on sliders, and seal degradation with dated photos. For homes near the Intracoastal or along A1A, we recommend annual inspection; the salt-air cycle is aggressive enough to pit aluminum and seize rollers within two seasons.

We draw from eight manufacturer lines - PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux - specified by what the opening requires, not by warehouse inventory. For Hollywood’s HVHZ environment, we frequently specify PGT impact-rated vinyl and aluminum systems and ViewLux thermally broken units for energy-focused retrofits. Every product carries Miami-Dade NOA certification before it enters our supply chain. We do not stock non-impact units; they are code-prohibited here and useless to our customers.
Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Hollywood Homes

- Salt-air corrosion from dual exposure. Hollywood’s Atlantic-Intracoastal sandwich accelerates oxidation of standard hardware. We replace carbon-steel screws and hinges with stainless or hot-dip galvanized equivalents on every job; anything less fails within 3-5 years.
- Jalousie windows in 1950s-70s homes. The louvered glass-slat style dominates Hollywood’s postwar neighborhoods, yet Florida’s building code explicitly bans jalousie units as replacement windows in the HVHZ. Every like-for-like request becomes a full impact-rated upgrade, often with jamb reconstruction.
- Failed aluminum sliding glass doors. Single-pane sliders from the 1960s-80s are common in Hollywood’s inland ranches. The frames pit, the rollers seize, and the glazing cannot meet current design pressure. Repair is rarely cost-effective; full replacement with impact-rated units is the standard path.
- Condos triggered by milestone inspections. Hollywood’s mid-rise buildings along the A1A and Intracoastal corridors, many 30+ years old, are now subject to SB 4-D structural inspections. Deferred window and door replacements surface quickly in these reports, and we coordinate with association managers on phased, permitted upgrades.
Pricing for Window Replacement in Hollywood, FL
| Service | Typical Range (per opening) |
|---|---|
| Insert replacement, impact-rated | $680 - $950 |
| Vinyl replacement, full frame | $890 - $1,450 |
| Full frame with jamb rebuild | $1,200 - $1,850 |
| Energy-efficient upgrade, impact-rated | $1,050 - $1,650 |
| Large format or custom geometric | $1,400 - $2,400+ |
These ranges reflect Hollywood’s HVHZ requirements and coastal hardware specifications. Jobs run higher than in non-HVHZ counties because every unit must carry Miami-Dade NOA certification and be installed with marine-grade sealants and stainless fasteners. The alternative - bidding the inland spec - produces callbacks for seal failure and corrosion within a few years. We don’t do it.

FAQs - Window Replacement in Hollywood

Florida’s building code explicitly bans jalousie units as replacement windows anywhere in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which includes all of Hollywood. A permitted replacement must upgrade to impact-rated glazing with Miami-Dade NOA certification. We recently replaced a full set of original 1960s jalousie windows in a ranch home off Hollywood Boulevard, near the Intracoastal. The salt air had corroded the aluminum frames so badly that the glass slats were loose in their tracks, and the homeowner wanted the same louvered look. We explained the HVHZ ban on jalousie replacements and installed PGT impact-rated casement windows with stainless-steel hardware, sealing every jamb against wind-driven rain. The homeowner qualified for a wind mitigation credit and cut cooling costs by roughly 25 percent with low-E insulated glass. Call (754) 354-6649 for an exact quote on your jalousie replacement - estimates are free.
Yes. Every square foot of Hollywood falls within the HVHZ. Building code requires Miami-Dade NOA-certified impact-rated windows and doors for all permitted replacements, regardless of distance from the coast. Insurance underwriters and wind mitigation inspectors enforce the same standard. Non-impact products that contractors sell in Palm Beach or Orange counties are code-prohibited here. Call (754) 354-6649 to confirm your project’s requirements - estimates are free.
Hollywood’s Atlantic-Intracoastal exposure accelerates corrosion of standard carbon-steel fasteners, hinges, and rollers by roughly 2-3 times the rate seen in western Broward cities like Sunrise or Weston. We specify stainless-steel or hot-dip galvanized hardware and marine-grade sealants on every Hollywood job. The inland spec costs less upfront. It also produces seal failure, hardware seizure, and water intrusion within 3-5 years here. Call (754) 354-6649 for a coastal-spec quote - estimates are free.
A Miami-Dade NOA is a product-approval document certifying that a window or door has passed impact and pressure testing for the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. It is mandatory for all permitted window and door work in Hollywood. Without NOA certification, the building department will not issue a permit, and the installation cannot pass inspection. We verify NOA status for every product before quoting; the documentation travels with the job. Call (754) 354-6649 to confirm your proposed products qualify - estimates are free.
Yes, when paired with low-E insulated glass. Impact-rated units with low-E coatings and argon gas fill typically reduce solar heat gain by 40-60% compared to single-pane or uncoated glass. In Hollywood’s unshaded inland neighborhoods, we’ve measured cooling cost reductions of 20-30% after full upgrades. The impact rating addresses hurricane code; the energy performance addresses your utility bill. Both are specified in writing before work starts. Call (754) 354-6649 for performance specs on your specific openings - estimates are free.
