AfterFast, Reliable Impact Windows Across Hollywood
Window Replacement in Hollywood runs $800 to $1,500 per window for standard openings, with whole-home packages typically landing between $8,000 and $25,000 depending on the building. If you own in a Broadwalk condo or an Emerald Hills block home, you’re not shopping for glass; you’re answering a structural recertification report or a wind mitigation failure. Our crews stage from the Miami office and serve Hollywood daily. Call (904) 913-5886 for a free in-home measure and a written line-item quote.
Hollywood sits entirely inside Florida’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, a designation it shares only with Miami-Dade County. That single fact changes what gets installed here, how it gets permitted, and why the cheap quote from a Sunrise or Davie contractor can leave a Hollywood homeowner with windows that pass no inspection and hold no NOA. We know the difference because we work it every week.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Hollywood’s Preferred Impact Windows Company
Ed Winslow founded this company in 2011 and his name goes on every job we do. Hollywood homeowners call us because a live person answers at 2 a.m., because the technician who shows up is background-checked and in uniform, and because our pricing is stated upfront and does not change once the opening is measured. That matters when a 40-year recertification engineer flags your Broadwalk condo windows and you need documentation pulled fast. Our Impact Windows team carries Miami-Dade NOA paperwork and Florida Product Approval numbers for every configuration we install, so the permit package moves without the back-and-forth that stalls HOAs.
Calls from Hollywood route to a live person, not a voicemail loop or a call center three states away. That is not a slogan; that is how the phone works. We also honor a 36500-Day Done Right Promise on every installation. If it is not done right, we make it right. Ed’s name is on the door and on every job we do, including the ones along A1A and the Intracoastal.
Our Impact Windows Services in Hollywood
Miami-Dade NOA Permitted Impact Window Replacement
Hollywood requires every replacement window to carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance or an HVHZ-rated Florida Product Approval. We pull those permits in-house. For condo owners along the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk, the trigger is usually a structural inspector’s report under SB 4-D, not a homeowner’s preference. We quote from the engineer’s scope, spec the correct design pressure for the floor height and exposure, and get the NOA documentation in front of the HOA before the special assessment deadline passes.
HVHZ-Rated Sliding Glass Door Replacement
Salt air eats sliding glass & patio doors in Hollywood faster than anywhere inland in Broward. We regularly replace original aluminum sliders in Hollywood Lakes and the Intracoastal corridor with HVHZ-rated units on marine-grade stainless tracks. When the recertification report flags a sliding door, we quote it together with the windows so the building package meets the same design pressure rating across every opening.
Marine-Grade Hardware and Stainless Fastener Upgrade
Within a half-mile of the Broadwalk, standard zinc hardware starts pitting within a decade. We specify stainless fasteners and marine-grade anodized frames as the base spec on any Hollywood job near the ocean, not as an upgrade line item. The cost difference is real, and we explain it plainly. The cheap inland spec corrodes, seizes, and fails the next inspection; the marine spec does not. We would rather quote the right window once than watch a Hollywood owner pay twice.
Jalousie and Awning Window Replacement in Older Block Homes
Thousands of 1950s and 1960s concrete-block homes in Emerald Hills and Hollywood Hills still run original jalousie and awning units. Those windows will not pass a wind mitigation inspection; they have no large-missile laminated glazing and the frames flex under design pressure loads. We replace them with code-compliant single-hung or fixed impact units sized to the existing openings, so the block work stays intact and the permit closes clean.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hollywood
We are an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, and ES Windows, and we offer Eco Window Systems repair in Hollywood alongside those brands on beachfront work because their Miami-Dade NOA paperwork is complete and their aluminum frames hold up to salt exposure better than most. We stock common hardware and track components for these lines locally, which shortens repair turnaround for Hollywood condos that cannot wait on a backordered part from an out-of-state supplier.
Common Impact Windows Problems We See in Hollywood Homes
- Salt-air frame pitting and jamb seizure. Within 10 to 15 years of Broadwalk exposure, standard aluminum window frames pit, hardware seizes, and the sash will not close tight. That tight seal is what keeps wind-driven rain out during a storm; a seized window is a leak waiting for the next named system.
- Recertification failures on original jalousie units. The 40-year structural inspection under SB 4-D flags original jalousie windows for lack of impact-rated glazing and inadequate design pressure. The owner is not choosing to replace; the inspector is requiring it.
- Inland-spec windows leaking at Broadwalk-exposed condos. A window quoted for a Deerfield Beach job in a low design pressure rating will flex and leak under wind load at a beachfront Hollywood tower. We see these mismatched installs after the first real storm, and the fix costs more than the original upgrade would have.
- Sliding glass doors sharing corroded tracks. The recertification engineer quotes windows, but the adjacent slider is usually just as corroded. We handle the door and window package together so the HOA does not get a partial compliance letter that blows the deadline.
Pricing for Impact Windows in Hollywood, FL
A standard impact window in Hollywood runs $800 to $1,500 per opening installed. Impact single-hung units land between $900 and $1,800. Large or custom openings, common in Broadwalk condo penthouses and 1960s living rooms, run $2,500 to $5,000 each. Whole-home packages across a 1950s block home in Emerald Hills typically fall between $8,000 and $18,000; a full mid-rise condo floor replacement holds closer to $25,000 and up depending on opening count and floor height. In Hollywood specifically, you pay for the HVHZ rating, the Miami-Dade NOA paperwork, and the marine-grade hardware. That is not padding. That is the difference between a window that survives one season and one that passes the next recertification. Call (904) 913-5886 for a written line-item quote. The estimate is free, and the price does not change once we measure.
What Impact Windows Costs in Hollywood
You have seen the per-window numbers above. What moves the price in Hollywood is rarely the glass itself; it is the wind zone and the salt exposure. A second-floor window on a Hollywood Lakes block home needs a lower design pressure than a tenth-floor window facing the Atlantic on the Broadwalk. The floor height raises the design pressure requirement, and the frame material and glazing thickness move to match. Marine-grade anodized aluminum frames with stainless fasteners cost more than inland-spec aluminum, and that difference is real money on a 42-window condo job, but the inland-spec version will need hardware replacement within a decade at Broadwalk exposure. The cheap quote is a deferred payment plan with a recertification penalty attached.
We close every Hollywood quote the same way: a free in-home measure, a written line-item price, and no change order once the scope is set. Call (904) 913-5886 to schedule the measure.
Florida Pays You Back
Florida incentive programs stack, and Hollywood homeowners are positioned well for several of them. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, and impact windows qualify when the application is approved. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit returns 30% of the product cost, up to $600 per year, for qualifying units. Separately, most Hollywood homeowners see windstorm premium credits after a wind-mitigation inspection, which runs $75 to $150 and can reduce the windstorm portion of the policy by around 25% on average. Programs and carrier numbers change; the inspection is the first step and we can point you to a licensed inspector we trust.
One point worth making plainly: impact windows beat shutters for a Hollywood condo or home because the protection is always in place. No panels to drag out of a storage closet at 11 p.m. before a storm, no tracks to maintain, no opening left vulnerable because someone was out of town. A big-box retail install may bolt in a window, but it will not pull the Hollywood-specific permits, carry the NOA paperwork, or understand the recertification scope. That difference is exactly what you are paying for when you hire a licensed impact specialist.

FAQs - Impact Windows in Hollywood
Because the structural inspector is evaluating the windows against current HVHZ code, not against how they look. Frames that appear intact on the surface may have hidden pitting, seized hardware, or non-impact glazing that fails the design pressure and large-missile requirements in the inspection report. Hollywood sits entirely inside the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, so the bar is higher than in Palm Beach County cities to the north. If the inspector flagged your windows, the replacement is a compliance item, not a preference. Call (904) 913-5886 and we will quote directly from the report.
Within about a half-mile of the Atlantic or the Intracoastal Waterway, we specify marine-grade anodized frames and stainless fasteners as standard. Properties along the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk and the eastern edge of Hollywood Lakes show frame pitting and hardware seizure within 10 to 15 years on standard aluminum. The marine-grade spec is the difference between a window that lasts two decades and one that corrodes before the next recertification. Request your free quote at (904) 913-5886.
Most HOAs and structural inspectors will require all openings on the affected elevations to match the same impact rating and design pressure, not just the windows the engineer flagged first. Partial replacement can leave a non-compliant opening adjacent to a new impact window, which the inspector may reject. We quote the full package and stage the work so the HOA closes the recertification in one pass. Call (904) 913-5886 for a written scope and price.
Design pressure is a PSF rating, not a wind speed. Hollywood openings typically need design pressures matched to the building’s wind zone, exposure category, and floor height; we never spec a unit above +/-100 PSF because that is the ceiling of the rating system. The required number comes from the structural engineer’s report or the permit review for your specific building. A beachfront tower floor needs a higher PSF than a single-story Hollywood Hills home. Tell us your address and floor and we will quote the correct spec.
Because the Hollywood job carries HVHZ requirements, Miami-Dade NOA paperwork, higher design pressures from the beachfront exposure, and marine-grade hardware as standard. A Deerfield Beach job north of the HVHZ line can run an inland-spec aluminum frame with standard hardware at a lower PSF, and that product cannot be legally installed in a Hollywood beachfront condo. The price gap is not markup; it is a different window built to a different standard. Call (904) 913-5886 for an exact quote on your building, free of charge.
