Window Replacement in Hollywood - Free In-Home Measure, Written Price

Fast, Reliable Window Replacement Across Hollywood

Window replacement in Hollywood, FL means working inside Florida’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ), where every single window you install has to carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance or an HVHZ-rated Florida Product Approval. That’s a stricter bar than what cities just north in Palm Beach County require, and it changes how you buy, permit, and install windows here. We’ve been doing exactly that kind of work across Hollywood, from the Broadwalk condos to Emerald Hills, for years. Call (904) 913-5886 for a free in-home measure and a written quote that accounts for your building’s specific wind zone and recertification status.

Key takeaways:

• Hollywood sits entirely inside the HVHZ, so replacement windows need Miami-Dade NOA or HVHZ-rated Florida Product Approval documentation.
• Typical impact window replacement in Hollywood runs $800-$1,500 per window installed for standard openings, depending on frame material and glass package.
• Many Broadwalk and Intracoastal condo buildings are now under 40- or 50-year recertification deadlines, which means the structural engineer’s report, not the homeowner’s preference, often sets the window scope.
• Free estimates, upfront line-item pricing, and the 36500-Day Done Right Promise on every job.

Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Hollywood’s Preferred Window Replacement Company

We’re the locally owned, owner-operated crew that Hollywood homeowners call when they want a straight answer about impact windows without a call center in the way. Ed Winslow’s name is on the door, and he’s built this company since 2011 around a simple rule: if it’s not done right, we come back and make it right. That promise is written into every contract we hand to a homeowner in Hollywood Hills, Lakes of Emerald, or any condo unit along the Broadwalk.

Hollywood customers know two things about their windows. First, the salt air along the Atlantic and the Intracoastal eats through ordinary aluminum hardware faster than inland Broward neighborhoods ever see. Second, the recertification deadlines under Florida’s post-Surfside SB 4-D legislation mean HOAs are suddenly replacing windows under emergency special assessments, and they need a contractor who can pull HVHZ-compliant permits fast, with NOA documentation already in hand. That’s the kind of work we do on a regular basis. Call us at (904) 913-5886 and a live person answers. Not a phone tree.

We publish our address and license number, every technician is background-checked and arrives in uniform, and we answer the phone 24 hours a day. For a Hollywood homeowner who’s been burned by a no-show crew or a vague estimate, that matters.

Our Window Replacement Services in Hollywood

We handle the full range of window replacement work in Hollywood, but the following four services come up most often. Each one has a slightly different shape here because of the HVHZ rules and the age of the housing stock.

Full Frame Replacement

Full frame replacement means pulling the entire existing window, frame and all, down to the rough opening. That’s the right call when the old frame is pitted, rotted, or out of square, and it’s what we often recommend in the 1950s-to-1970s concrete block homes in Emerald Hills and Hollywood Hills. You get a completely new, properly flashed, HVHZ-rated unit that seals the way it should. Full frame work also lets us address framing rot behind the old jamb, which is common in original-owner homes in Hollywood.

Insert Window Replacement

An insert replacement keeps the existing frame and fits a new window into it. It’s faster and costs less, but it only works when the frame is still sound. In Hollywood’s east side, within a half-mile of the ocean or the Intracoastal, we routinely find salt-corroded frames that disqualify an insert approach. We’ll inspect the existing frame before we quote anything, so you don’t pay for a shortcut that won’t hold up or pass an HVHZ inspection from a recertification engineer.

Vinyl Replacement Windows

Vinyl replacement windows are a practical option for many single-family homes in Hollywood west of US-1, particularly in areas like Park East and Highland Garden. Vinyl won’t corrode in salt air the way bare aluminum will, it insulates well for the money, and impact-rated vinyl units can carry the Miami-Dade NOA documentation this city requires. If you’re replacing old awning or jalousie units in a 1960s concrete block home, vinyl is worth a serious look.

Energy-Efficient Upgrade

Hollywood’s sun and humidity put real strain on single-pane aluminum windows from the 1960s and 1970s. Upgrading to insulated, low-E glass cuts solar heat gain and keeps indoor spaces more stable. For Broadwalk condos, the energy story is secondary to the hurricane story, but the glass packages we install through PGT and CWS deliver both: impact resistance and a meaningful reduction in heat transfer. Ask about the federal 25C energy credit when we quote your project.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hollywood

We’re an authorized installer for a focused lineup of elite window brands, and we’ve built our Hollywood service around products from PGT, CWS, and ECO Window Systems. These manufacturers hold the Miami-Dade NOA approvals that Hollywood’s building department and condo recertification engineers require, and we keep their documentation on file so permits don’t stall. If you already have CWS or PGT windows from a previous project, our Hollywood crews service them, too. We stock common hardware and parts locally so repair and replacement work doesn’t wait on a slow freight shipment.

Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Hollywood Homes

• Original non-impact aluminum jalousie windows in Broadwalk condos. These 1960s-to-1980s units are often the first thing a 40-year recertification engineer flags. They offer no impact protection, the frames are usually pitted from salt air, and many HOAs are now replacing them under emergency assessments.
• Rotted wood jambs hidden behind old awning and jalousie frames. When we pull those units out of a 1950s or 1960s concrete block home, the original non-treated wood jamb is frequently spongy. It has to be rebuilt before the new window can be squared and sealed, and we write that change-order in plain language before we touch it.
• Seized operators and corroded fasteners near the ocean. Within a half-mile of the Atlantic, standard aluminum fasteners and zinc-plated hardware fail fast. We specify marine-grade stainless fasteners and hardware finishes as a standard for oceanfront and Intracoastal properties, not an add-on.
• Permit stalls from missing NOA documentation. A contractor who shows up to a Broadwalk condo job without the exact Miami-Dade NOA for the specific window configuration will watch the HOA’s engineer reject the submittal. We pull HVHZ-compliant permits with the approval numbers already documented, which is often the difference between a job that starts on schedule and one that stalls for weeks.

What Window Replacement Costs in Hollywood

Window replacement pricing in Hollywood is driven almost entirely by two things: the wind zone requirements and the condition of what’s already in the wall.

For a standard impact-rated window, Hollywood homeowners should expect to pay roughly $800 to $1,500 per window installed. An impact single-hung in a common size typically runs $900 to $1,800. Large or custom openings, including oversized sliders and picture windows, can reach $2,500 to $5,000 per opening because of the structural upgrades and heavier glass packages those units demand. A whole-home package across a typical single-family house falls in the $8,000 to $25,000+ range depending on the count, the frame material, and whether full frame replacement is needed versus inserts.

What moves the price in Hollywood specifically: whether your building is in the HVHZ wind zone (it is), how many openings you have, whether the frames are intact enough for inserts or need full frame tear-out, and floor height for condo work, since upper-floor Broadwalk units often require larger crews and different installation sequencing. Our free in-home measure and written quote gives you a line-item price before you commit to anything. Call (904) 913-5886 to schedule yours.

A Closer Look: What Opening Up an Older Hollywood Home Actually Turns Up

Hollywood’s housing stock was built in waves, and the older the home, the more likely that window replacement reveals something behind the wall that no one could see from the outside. In the 1950s-to-1970s concrete block homes of Emerald Hills and Hollywood Hills, we regularly find original non-treated wood jambs that have rotted from decades of humidity and wind-driven rain. In Broadwalk condos, the finding is usually salt-corroded frames and seized rollers on sliding doors that haven’t operated smoothly in years. Outdated flashing details are everywhere, and on recertification projects, the structural engineer’s report typically dictates a scope the homeowner didn’t choose.

This is the single biggest reason a window replacement quote in Hollywood moves after the job starts, and it’s exactly why we handle it the way we do. We inspect first. We photograph what we find. We write allowances into the contract so there’s a documented path for any framing repair or waterproofing upgrade the job uncovers. If a surprise condition appears, we price it and get your written approval before we do the work. You never get hit with an unexpected charge after the fact, and we never build the quote on the rosiest possible scenario just to win the bid. Ed Winslow’s name is on the job. He’s not interested in winning a job on a lie and losing the customer’s trust two weeks later.

In a Hollywood Beach condo on the Broadwalk, our crew found 1970s single-pane aluminum sliders with pitted frames and seized rollers from decades of salt air. The recertification engineer had already flagged them for immediate replacement under the building’s 40-year inspection. We pulled Miami-Dade NOA permits for PGT impact-rated casements with insulated laminated glass, used stainless fasteners and marine-grade hardware throughout, and completed the swap in each unit without triggering a special assessment. That’s what Hollywood recertification work looks like when it’s done by a company that’s done it before.

Florida Pays You Back

Hollywood homeowners have access to a stack of incentives that can knock real dollars off a window replacement project. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, including impact windows. The state also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit can return up to $600 per year on qualifying energy-efficient window product costs. And after a windstorm mitigation inspection (typically $75 to $150), many Florida insurers apply a windstorm-premium credit that averages around 25% on the windstorm portion of your policy. The exact numbers depend on your carrier and your home’s inspection results, so we can’t guarantee a specific credit. But the programs are real, current, and worth checking before you schedule your project. Ask us about them when we come out to measure.

When you’re weighing impact windows against hurricane shutters, the tradeoff in Hollywood is straightforward. Shutters only protect when someone is home to hang them, they do nothing for day-to-day energy loss or noise from A1A traffic, and they don’t help a Broadwalk condo pass a 40-year recertification inspection. Impact windows are permanent protection, they’re always deployed, and they carry the Miami-Dade NOA documentation this city’s inspection process demands. We don’t sell or install shutters, but we’ll tell you honestly how the two compare for your specific property.
