Custom & Geometric Windows in Hollywood - Free In-Home Measure, Written Price

Fast, Reliable Custom & Geometric Windows Across Hollywood

Custom and geometric windows in Hollywood, FL mean one thing before anything else: every unit has to clear Florida’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone code, because Hollywood is the only Broward County city whose entire municipal boundary sits inside the HVHZ. That single fact rules out most off-the-shelf shaped windows and pushes every quote toward engineered, impact-rated glazing with a Miami-Dade NOA or HVHZ Florida Product Approval. We’re Winslow Windows & Doors, and our crews work Hollywood’s beachfront condos and 1950s concrete block homes every week. If you’re replacing an arch, a circle-top, or an oversized opening, call (904) 913-5886 and Ed’s team will walk you through what your building actually requires before you spend a dollar.

Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Hollywood’s Preferred Custom & Geometric Windows Company

We’ve been doing this since 2011, and Ed Winslow’s name is on the door and on every job we do. Hollywood homeowners call us because we answer the phone live, 24/7, and because our techs show up in uniform, background-checked, and knowing exactly which code hurdle applies to your building. When a Hollywood Beach condo board needs a contractor who can pull an HVHZ permit fast with NOA documentation already in hand, we’re the ones they call. When an Emerald Hills homeowner wants a geometric picture window in a 1960s block wall, we’re the ones who know the lintel likely needs engineering before the glass goes in.

Our Custom & Geometric Windows team has rebuilt shaped openings all over Hollywood, from the Broadwalk corridor to Hollywood Hills. Homeowners and condo boards keep hiring us back because we write allowances into the contract for what we’ll find inside the wall, and every surprise gets priced and approved in writing before we touch it. No vague estimates, no change orders that show up after the drywall’s open.

Key Takeaways

• Every custom window in Hollywood must carry a Miami-Dade NOA or HVHZ Florida Product Approval. There’s no workaround.
• Salt air off the Atlantic corrodes aluminum frames and hardware within 10 to 15 years on Broadwalk-adjacent buildings. Marine-grade finishes are standard for us, not an upgrade.
• Opening up a 1950s to 1980s Hollywood wall for a larger window usually reveals rusted lintels, old wiring, or failed waterproofing. We inspect first and price surprises before work starts.
• Custom fabrication runs 4 to 6 weeks. Once units arrive, most jobs install in as fast as a single day.
• Free in-home measure and written quote. Call (904) 913-5886.

Our Custom & Geometric Windows Services in Hollywood

This page is for Hollywood specifically, because this city’s window code and housing stock are not like Fort Lauderdale or Pembroke Pines. Here’s what we install and repair across Hollywood, from the Intracoastal to I-95 and out to the 441 corridor.

Custom Impact Windows

Hollywood sits fully inside the HVHZ, so custom impact windows here are not a preference. They’re the code. Every unit we install carries a Miami-Dade NOA or HVHZ Florida Product Approval, with design pressures matched to your opening’s elevation and wind zone. For a 1970s condo off the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk, that often means a large-missile-rated laminated interlayer, stainless fasteners, and a rebuild of the jamb if salt air has pitted the original aluminum. We handle all of it, from permit to final inspection.

Geometric & Shaped Windows

Triangle tops, trapezoids, pentagons, half-rounds over a front door. These are standard requests in Hollywood’s 1950s and 1960s ranches and mid-century builds, and they’re the hardest to source because they cannot be ordered as generic shapes. A pentagon window on a Hollywood Hills home has to be engineered to the specific design pressure at that elevation, with a NOA that matches the exact configuration. We don’t sell catalog shapes and hope for the best. We spec each one to the opening.

Arched & Curved Windows

Arched windows on Hollywood Beach mid-rises are where we see the worst salt-air damage. On a recent job off the Broadwalk, our techs pulled original aluminum circle-tops from the east elevation and found the jambs so badly pitted and the sash hardware so seized the units couldn’t be re-glazed. We rebuilt each opening with a custom radius impact window, stainless fasteners, and documented the wind mitigation upgrade for the owner’s insurer. That’s the standard we work to on every curved unit in Hollywood.

Oversized Openings

An oversized window or sliding glass wall in a post-WWII concrete block home almost always triggers a structural surprise. The lintel above the old opening was likely sized decades ago, and by current HVHZ design pressure requirements it no longer works. We pull the structural permit, get the engineering done, and install the new header before the window goes in. Homeowners near Emerald Hills and Hollywood Lakes call us for this exact scenario, because we’ve done it enough to know what the wall will look like before we open it.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hollywood

We’re an authorized installer for CGI, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems, and those are the brands we most often spec for Hollywood’s HVHZ openings. Each one has Miami-Dade NOA and Florida Product Approval listings for multiple geometric and radius configurations, which matters in a city where the permit reviewer will not accept a generic spec sheet. Because we work Hollywood daily, we keep the ancillary hardware and marine-grade fasteners local stock where we can, which shortens turnaround when a Broadwalk condo board needs a dozen circle-top replacements at once.

Common Custom & Geometric Windows Problems We See in Hollywood Homes

• Salt-air frame corrosion on shaped windows. Shaped window frames on Broadwalk-adjacent buildings corrode at the jamb-to-sash interface within 10 to 15 years. A “simple” glass replacement turns into full frame demolition once the existing sill is exposed and you see the pitting.
• Undersized or rusted lintels above old oversized openings. An arched or oversized opening cut into a post-WWII concrete block wall frequently reveals a lintel that no longer meets current HVHZ design pressure requirements. That means a structural permit before the window can go in.
• Failed waterproofing behind original jalousie and awning units. Original jalousie or awning windows in Emerald Hills-era homes often hide rotted flashing and failed waterproofing behind the flange. Swapping to a geometric impact window without first re-flashing the rough opening leads to water intrusion the first storm season.
• Code triggered by the permit, not the homeowner. In Hollywood, opening up a wall for a bigger or different-shaped window triggers current code review of the entire opening. Old wiring inside the wall cavity, undersized framing, and missing anchors all have to be brought up to code before inspection passes. We price that into the contract up front so it’s not a shock mid-job.

What Custom & Geometric Windows Costs in Hollywood

For an impact-rated custom window in Hollywood, baseline pricing lands around $800 to $1,500 per window installed, depending on size and configuration. A custom impact single-hung typically runs $900 to $1,800. Large or custom-shaped openings, like a full-width arch or an oversized geometric picture window, run $2,500 to $5,000 each once engineering, structural work, and permit fees are in. Whole-home packages in Hollywood commonly land between $8,000 and $25,000+, driven by how many openings you have, what wind zone your building sits in, how high off the ground the opening is, and whether you choose aluminum or vinyl frames. The Broadwalk condos with full exposure and upper-floor elevations always cost more than an inland single-story home. Call (904) 913-5886 for a free in-home measure and a written, line-item quote. Every surprise gets priced and approved in writing before we touch it.

Florida Pays You Back

There’s a real stack of incentives for Hollywood homeowners doing impact-window work right now. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit covers 30% of product cost up to $600 per year on qualifying units. And after a wind mitigation inspection, which typically runs $75 to $150, many Hollywood homeowners see windstorm premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy. We don’t guarantee any of those numbers, because programs and carriers set the final figures, but we do document every wind mitigation upgrade so you can submit the paperwork. One more thing worth knowing: impact windows beat hurricane shutters for most Hollywood homeowners because the protection is permanent. No panels to haul out before a storm, no storage, and the windows work every single day for energy and noise, not just when a warning is posted. We’re a windows and doors contractor, not a shutter installer, so we’ll never push you toward a product we don’t sell.

Common Custom & Geometric Windows Problems We See in Hollywood Homes

Before we get to FAQs: if you’re comparing a big-box retail install against a licensed impact specialist in Hollywood, the difference usually shows up at permit review. A generic off-the-shelf shaped unit rarely carries the Miami-Dade NOA a Hollywood inspector requires, and the big-box installer rarely pulls the structural permit for the lintel issue the inspector will flag. We handle both from day one, because we’ve stood in that permit line for over a decade.
