Andersen Construction in Hollywood, FL | Groundwork Construction Co. of South Florida
Andersen window and door service in Hollywood runs about $4,500-$15,000 for standard replacement and $8,000-$25,000 for full impact-rated installation, with most projects moving through Broward permitting in two to four weeks. We’re Groundwork Construction Co. of South Florida, an independent Andersen service provider working across Hollywood’s HVHZ zones and barrier island, not a manufacturer-authorized dealer. That independence means we source genuine Andersen parts when they make sense and matched local alternatives when code or budget calls for it. Call (844) 665-0162 for a free estimate.
Why Hollywood Residents Choose Us for Andersen Service
We’ve been opening up Andersen units in Hollywood long enough to know which problems repeat by neighborhood. In the eastern ZIPs, 33020 and 33021, we see original 400 Series sliders from the 1980s and 90s with sills rotted through because nobody flashed them to post-Andrew standards. Out on the barrier island in 33019, salt air eats hinge hardware alive. Our crew carries the full Andersen parts matrix in our heads, and our trucks stock the most common failure items for same-day fixes.
Raymond Estevez grew up in Hialeah watching his uncle gut and rebuild houses block by block, and he’s spent more than two decades learning how South Florida’s building stock ages. He’ll tell you straight: “Do it right the first time or you’ll do it twice - and the second time always costs more.” That philosophy shapes how we spec every Andersen job. We don’t push full replacement when a sash swap and proper re-flashing will solve it. We also don’t patch hardware that’s going to seize again in eighteen months because the original spec ignored salt-air exposure.
Our Andersen sales & service approach is built on genuine material choice and honest repair-vs-replace calls. You choose the brand, we handle the build.
Common Andersen Construction Problems We Solve in Hollywood
- Salt-air corrosion on barrier island hardware. Andersen friction adjusters, balance shoes, and hinges on 400 Series units in 33019 pit and seize within three to five years. The oceanfront salt load here is heavier than mainland Hollywood by a measurable margin, and standard Andersen hardware specs don’t account for it. We spec marine-grade replacements and upgrade fastener schedules on every beachside job.
- Water infiltration at the sill in eastern CBS homes. Pre-1992 concrete block houses in 33020 and 33021 often have Andersen windows installed without proper panning or head flashing. Storm-driven rain pushes straight through the stucco-to-frame gap. We pull the unit, install code-compliant panning, and re-flash to HVHZ standards.
- Glass seal failure from heat and humidity cycling. Hollywood’s double-pane Andersen IGUs fog up when the seal degrades under constant thermal stress. We’ve replaced hundreds in 200 and 400 Series units, using matched local glass that meets HVHZ impact requirements rather than waiting on factory lead times.
- Jamb damage from unpermitted retrofits. Many Andersen windows in Hollywood’s older stock were swapped in after Andrew without NOA-approved assemblies. The jambs loosen, frames rack, and the units leak air and water in a storm. We rebuild the rough opening to current HVHZ specs and install proper tie-downs.
- Corrobed fasteners compromising structural attachment. On a 1962 CBS ranch near Young Circle (33020), our tech swapped out a fogged slider from a 1990s Andersen 400 Series, re-flashed the rough opening to HVHZ standards, and installed a new impact-rated Andersen A-Series unit-tightening the whole jamb after finding the original screws had corroded from salt air. Same story repeats up and down the eastern neighborhoods.
Andersen Service in Hollywood: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Hollywood sits entirely within Florida’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, sharing that designation only with Miami-Dade County. Every permitted construction project here, from a room addition to a simple window swap, must use HVHZ-listed assemblies backed by Miami-Dade Notices of Acceptance. Contractors moving in from Palm Beach County or Central Florida get stopped cold at the Broward permit desk when their Andersen windows or roofing assemblies lack that HVHZ listing. It’s invisible on standard Florida Product Approval searches, and it can kill a schedule by weeks.
That permitting reality shapes every Andersen decision we make in Hollywood. The city’s dense stock of pre-1992 concrete block homes, built for the Northeast snowbird market, still carries original jalousie windows and flat roofs in neighborhoods like those near Young Circle. These homes need full structural tie-down upgrades, roof deck re-nailing, and impact-glazing retrofits that keep local contractors busy with our Kitchen Remodeling in Hollywood and other projects year-round. When we spec Andersen for these properties, we’re not just matching a window to an opening. We’re engineering an assembly that passes HVHZ inspection, survives the next hurricane, and doesn’t trap the homeowner in a permit loop.
And Hollywood’s barrier island (ZIP 33019) sits landward of Florida’s Coastal Construction Control Line, so any window replacement there requires a state DEP permit and engineered tie-down details that mainland Broward projects don’t face. This directly affects how we spec Andersen impact units on beachside homes. The DEP layer adds time and documentation, but skip it and you’re looking at a stop-work order. We’ve run enough of these to know the submission package by heart.
Andersen Models & Products We Service in Hollywood
We work across the full Andersen residential lineup: 400 Series Tilt-Wash, 200 Series Narroline, 100 Series, and A-Series. Each has its place in Hollywood’s housing stock.
The 400 Series Tilt-Wash remains the workhorse for replacement jobs in 33024 and 33025, where 1980s-2000s tract homes need updated units without full rough-opening reconstruction. The 200 Series Narroline shows up constantly in the 1950s-1970s CBS homes east of I-95; it’s a solid unit, but the original hardware wasn’t built for sixty years of salt exposure. The 100 Series offers a budget-friendly fiberglass option for rental properties and secondary structures, while Hollywood Bathroom Remodeling projects often use similar value-focused materials. The A-Series is our go-to for impact-rated upgrades on the barrier island, where DEP permits and engineered tie-downs are non-negotiable.
We stock genuine Andersen hardware, balances, and sash kits locally for fast turnaround on standard repairs. For glass, we source matched IGUs from local fabricators who understand HVHZ labeling requirements. You get proper fit without the factory lead time, and the glass carries the impact rating your permit inspector will look for.

What drives cost on an Andersen job in Hollywood? Three things: the condition of your existing rough opening, whether the project needs HVHZ structural upgrades, and whether you’re on the barrier island requiring DEP permitting. A straightforward sash-and-hardware replacement in 33024 runs toward the lower end. A full impact-rated A-Series installation on the beach with engineered tie-downs and DEP coordination sits at the top.
Our free estimates include a full opening inspection, moisture-damage assessment, and honest repair-vs-replace guidance. No obligation, no pressure. Call (844) 665-0162 to schedule.

FAQs - Andersen Construction in Hollywood
It almost certainly lacked a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance with HVHZ listing, or the installation didn’t match the NOA-approved assembly details. Standard Florida Product Approval doesn’t cut it here. We verify Andersen product HVHZ status before ordering and build to the exact fastener schedule and flashing details the NOA specifies. Call (844) 665-0162 and we’ll check your spec before you buy.
Not necessarily. Foggy glass means a failed IGU seal, which we can fix with a sash replacement or IGU swap. But if your existing units aren’t impact-rated, Hollywood’s HVHZ code may require full replacement when you alter the opening. We’ll inspect and tell you which path keeps you compliant without overspending. Call (844) 665-0162 for a free evaluation.
Salt-air corrosion, especially on the barrier island or within a few blocks of the Intracoastal. Andersen standard hardware isn’t marine-grade. We replace with corrosion-resistant equivalents and upgrade the fastener schedule so the next set lasts longer. For a same-day hardware swap in Hollywood, call (844) 665-0162.
The A-Series for impact-rated replacement, or the 400 Series Tilt-Wash if we’re retaining existing non-impact openings with storm panels. The A-Series handles the structural loads and ties into HVHZ tie-down systems properly. The 400 Series works when the homeowner wants to phase the upgrade. We spec based on your permit path and budget.
Yes, if the frame and jamb are sound. We stock Andersen-compatible sash kits and can match IGU specs for fogged units. If the frame is rotted or the installation lacks proper flashing, we’ll show you exactly what we found and recommend the right scope. Call (844) 665-0162 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
