PGT Windows & Doors in Hollywood, FL | Winslow Windows & Doors
We provide independent PGT window and door service across Hollywood, from the Broadwalk condos to Emerald Hills. The thing that makes our PGT work different here is simple: we’ve spent fifteen years pulling HVHZ permits and matching original Miami-Dade NOA drawings on beachfront mid-rises where the salt air eats aluminum frames faster than anywhere else in Broward. Ed Winslow has been measuring, fitting, and standing behind Impact Windows - Hollywood installations along this coast since 2011, and our techs work on PGT WinGuard and SpectraGuard products every week. Call (904) 913-5886 for a free estimate on your PGT repair or replacement.
Why Hollywood Residents Choose Us for PGT Service
Hollywood sits entirely inside Florida’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, a designation it shares with Miami-Dade County. Every PGT window and door we touch here has to meet a stricter code bar than anything in Palm Beach County, and we treat that as the baseline, not an upgrade. Ed learned the fundamentals at Miami Dade College’s construction trades program, then spent years in the field before putting his own name on a truck. We show up on time, explain things straight, and refuse to cut corners on impact-rated installations because in South Florida those corners are exactly what a Category storm finds first.
We’re an independent PGT service provider, not manufacturer-affiliated. That independence means we answer to you and the Hollywood building inspector, not a corporate warranty department. Ed’s name is on the door - and on every job we do. Live person answers every call, 24/7. Background-checked, uniformed technicians. Upfront pricing, no surprises on the invoice.
Common PGT Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Hollywood
- Galvanic corrosion at aluminum frame screw bosses. Within a half-mile of Hollywood Beach, salt-laden air gets between stainless steel hardware and the PGT aluminum extrusion, creating a corrosion cell that seizes screws and strips bosses. We see it constantly on WinGuard sliders in Broadwalk condos where original installs used the wrong fastener spec for marine exposure. Repair means drilling out the corroded anchors, re-tapping with marine-grade stainless, and replacing the hardware with corrosion-matched components.
- Roller track deformation on horizontal sliders. Mid-rise condos from the 1960s and 1970s along the Intracoastal often had PGT sliders installed without proper shimming. Over years of thermal movement and wind loading, the track deforms, the rollers bind, and handle torque rises until something breaks. We re-shim the frame, replace the roller assemblies with PGT OEM parts, and reset the sash so it glides instead of fights.
- Vinyl weld-line splitting on WinGuard casements. Units facing the western afternoon sun on Broadwalk-facing exposures take brutal UV and thermal cycling. Weld lines at the sash corners split, the sash sags, and air leaks follow. We assess whether the frame is square and the NOA rating still valid; if the extrusion wall is compromised, we recommend full sash replacement rather than patching.
- Weep hole blockage from salt-laden dust and sand. Hollywood’s beachfront air carries fine sand and salt dust that clogs weep holes on older PGT aluminum single-hungs. Water backs up inside the frame, sits against the sill, and rots it from the inside out. We clear the drainage path and install marine-grade weep covers so it doesn’t re-clog in six months.
- Hardware seizure on 15-year-old PGT WinGuards. In a beachfront Hollywood condo, original PGT multipoint locking hardware starts seizing within ten to fifteen years of salt exposure. The handles torque, the lock points bind, and eventually the door won’t secure. We replace the locking hardware before it fails completely, using OEM parts when the NOA documentation requires matching original design pressures.
PGT Service in Hollywood: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Hollywood is the only city in Broward County where a 40-year recertification on a Broadwalk condo can force PGT window replacement even if the existing units were installed as recently as 2005. SB 4-D milestones apply to the building’s age, not the windows, and many PGT WinGuards from that era fail current Miami-Dade HVHZ cyclic pressure testing after fifteen-plus years of salt-air exposure. We discovered this years ago on the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk corridor, where our crew replaced twenty-seven PGT WinGuard aluminum horizontal sliders on a 1968 mid-rise whose original mullion anchors had corroded to pink powder. The structural inspector’s report flagged failed NOA compliance on the existing PGT 770 sliders. We pulled the HVHZ permit in four days using the original Miami-Dade NOA drawings, completed our Window Installation in Hollywood with new PGT WinGuard sliders with stainless anchor bolts and marine-grade weep covers, and got the building its 40-year recertification sign-off without a special assessment increase. That’s what independent PGT service in Hollywood actually means: knowing the paperwork as well as the products.
PGT Models & Products We Service in Hollywood
Our techs work on PGT WinGuard Aluminum Series, including single-hung and horizontal roller configurations. We service the WinGuard Vinyl Series across single-hung, double-hung, and casement styles. We handle PGT SpectraGuard Series for non-impact, retrofit-focused applications and the PGT 770/775 Series sliding glass doors found throughout Hollywood’s condo stock. For critical components like sash balances, roller assemblies, and multipoint locking hardware, we use PGT OEM parts where available because HVHZ recertification often requires matching original design pressures. For obsolete trim and fasteners we specify marine-grade stainless aftermarket replacements only when equivalent or superior to PGT’s spec. We repair before replacing whenever the frame is square and NOA ratings remain valid, but recommend full sash replacement over patching when corrosion has compromised the extrusion wall. That’s our PGT sales & service standard across every job.
PGT Service Pricing in Hollywood
PGT service pricing in Hollywood depends on what the recertification engineer found, what the salt air has done, and whether you need parts or full sashes. Here’s what we typically see:
- Roller assembly replacement on a WinGuard slider: $85-$165 per sash, depending on panel count and track condition.
- Multipoint lock hardware replacement: $120-$260, higher if the frame’s screw bosses need re-tapping after corrosion.
- Weep hole clearing and marine-grade cover install: $40-$90 per window.
- Full sash replacement due to weld-line splitting or frame corrosion: $450-$1,100 per sash, depending on size, glass package, and NOA documentation required.
- Full-frame PGT WinGuard replacement on a Broadwalk condo: $1,800-$3,600 per opening, with marine-grade stainless anchoring and HVHZ permit work included in the quote.

FAQs - PGT Windows & Doors in Hollywood
PGT’s standard product warranty requires warranty service through the original selling dealer or an authorized service provider, but independent contractors can perform non-warranty repairs, replacements, and installations using OEM-compatible parts without manufacturer authorization. Winslow Windows & Doors is an independent PGT service provider, not manufacturer-affiliated or authorized. If your WinGuard damage falls under warranty, we’ll tell you honestly and point you to the right channel. If it’s outside warranty, we’ll fix it properly the same week. Call (904) 913-5886 and we’ll help you figure out which path applies to your situation.
The most common cause is roller track deformation from years of thermal cycling combined with salt-air corrosion on the stainless hardware. Original installs on 1960s and 70s mid-rises often lacked proper shimming, so the track carries load it wasn’t designed for. The fix is re-shimming the frame, replacing the roller assemblies with PGT OEM parts, and resetting the sash. Repeated binding every few months usually means someone keeps replacing rollers without addressing the track or shims. Call (904) 913-5886 for a free estimate - we’ll diagnose the actual cause before we touch anything.
Yes, absolutely. SB 4-D milestones apply to the building’s age, not the windows. A 1960s building hitting its 40-year recertification can trigger replacement of PGT WinGuards installed as recently as 2005 if they fail current Miami-Dade HVHZ cyclic pressure testing after fifteen years of salt-air exposure. The structural inspector’s report sets the scope, not the homeowner or the HOA board. That’s why having NOA documentation and permit readiness before the engineer’s deadline matters. Call (904) 913-5886 and we’ll review your building’s situation.
WinGuard is PGT’s impact-rated line, designed and tested for the High Velocity Hurricane Zone with Miami-Dade NOA approval on most configurations. SpectraGuard is a vinyl non-impact line built for energy efficiency and replacement convenience where impact protection isn’t legally required. Both are solid products, but in Hollywood, which sits entirely within the HVHZ, most replacement work requires impact-rated WinGuard rather than SpectraGuard. If you’re in a condo with a recertification letter, you almost certainly need WinGuard. Call (904) 913-5886 and we’ll help you sort out what your specific building requires.
For critical components like sash balances, roller assemblies, and multipoint locking hardware, HVHZ recertification often requires matching original design pressures, which means OEM PGT parts are the safer path. For obsolete trim and fasteners that PGT no longer stocks, aftermarket parts are acceptable if they meet or exceed PGT’s original spec. We use marine-grade stainless aftermarket replacements only when they’re equivalent or better than what PGT specified. In a salt-air environment within a half-mile of the Atlantic, the wrong aftermarket fastener is a future failure. Call (904) 913-5886 for a written line-item quote on your PGT repair.
