PGT Construction in Hollywood, FL | Groundwork Construction Co. of South Florida
We provide independent PGT sales and service across Hollywood’s four ZIP codes, from the barrier island to the western planned communities. The one thing that separates our PGT work here: we’ve watched too many out-of-county contractors get burned at the Broward permit desk because their window specs lacked Miami-Dade NOA with HVHZ listing, a mistake that kills schedules and forces material swaps mid-project. If you’re replacing impact windows on a 1960s CBS home near Hollywood Beach or upgrading a west-side tract house, we verify every PGT unit against Hollywood’s specific code stack before we ever cut a purchase order. Call (844) 665-0162 for a free estimate.
Why Hollywood Residents Choose Us for PGT Service
Raymond Estevez, our owner, grew up in Hialeah watching his uncle rebuild houses block by block, and he’s carried that same hands-on discipline through more than two decades of South Florida construction. Our crews know the difference between a standard Florida Product Approval and the Miami-Dade NOA with HVHZ listing that Hollywood’s permit office actually demands. We’ve replaced PGT WinGuard units on original 1950s stucco homes in east Hollywood and installed PGT ImpactGuard on newer concrete tile roofs out near Stirling Road, so we read the job before we quote it.
We stock factory-spec PGT replacement hardware and glass locally, which means most Hollywood service calls don’t wait on cross-state shipping. When a full unit replacement makes more sense than chasing parts for an aging model, we’ll tell you straight. “Do it right the first time or you’ll do it twice, and the second time always costs more.” That’s how we work. You choose the brand, we handle the build. And because we’re a PGT sales & service partner working across 50+ manufacturers, you’re never locked into one product line that happens to be convenient for us.
Common PGT Construction Problems We Solve in Hollywood
- Seal failures on pre-2010 WinGuard units. Hollywood’s barrier island ZIP 33019 sits directly on the Atlantic, and the salt air there degrades PGT gaskets faster than anywhere inland. We regularly see fogging between panes on homes east of the Intracoastal, where years of salt corrosion have broken the thermal seal. Whole-lite replacement with current-spec PGT glass is usually the fix.
- Impact glass spider-webbing from debris strikes. Hurricane-season winds throw branches and roof gravel at velocity. The laminate holds, but the spider-web pattern compromises visibility and weakens the assembly for the next storm. We source factory-matched PGT replacement lites rather than patching, because patched impact glass isn’t impact glass anymore.
- Hardware wear on sliders and casements. Decades of coastal humidity in Hollywood’s older CBS homes seize PGT rollers, corrode balances, and throw latches out of alignment. Misaligned hardware doesn’t just make windows hard to open; it gaps the seal and fails pressure ratings under HVHZ testing. We replace with OEM PGT hardware to maintain the original engineering.
- Mullion joint separation on multi-lite door assemblies. The 1950s-70s concrete block homes that dominate Hollywood’s east side have settled and shifted over sixty-plus years. That movement stresses PGT door mullions until gaps open that leak air and water. We reframe to current HVHZ fastener schedules and rehang with proper shimming.
- Permit rejections from non-HVHZ product specs. This one’s on us to prevent. We catch it before it happens. Contractors from Palm Beach or Central Florida routinely spec PGT units with standard Florida Product Approval, missing the HVHZ addendum Hollywood requires. We verify NOA compliance upfront so your inspection passes the first time.
PGT Service in Hollywood: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Hollywood sits in a unique regulatory pocket. The entire city falls 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 roof replacement, must use HVHZ-listed assemblies backed by Miami-Dade Notices of Acceptance. Layer that with the Coastal Construction Control Line running through Hollywood’s eastern ZIPs, and you’ve got a two-permit minimum for any PGT impact window install on the ocean side: Broward County building plus Florida DEP for the CCCL setback. Mainland Broward projects never see that second layer. The salt-air corrosion out there also forces shorter replacement cycles and corrosion-resistant material specs on virtually every project. Stainless steel fasteners aren’t an upgrade on Hollywood Beach; they’re a permit requirement. We’ve learned to read a job site the way a doctor reads an X-ray, fast and without sugarcoating what needs to come first.
PGT Models & Products We Service in Hollywood
We work across the full PGT residential line: ImpactGuard for maximum protection on exposed elevations, WinGuard for the proven workhorse installs that dominate older Hollywood retrofits, SureView for homeowners who want the impact rating with slimmer sightlines, and PGT Custom Window & Door for architectural-grade openings that don’t fit standard sizes. Our Hollywood service area stock includes factory-spec PGT replacement glass, balances, rollers, and locking hardware. When we pull a failed unit, we check the manufacture date and model series against current NOA listings. Some 1990s and early-2000s PGT units no longer carry active HVHZ approval, and we’ll flag that before you spend money on a repair that won’t pass inspection. Built to spec, not to convenience.
PGT Service Pricing in Hollywood
These are the investment ranges we see for PGT-related work in the Hollywood market. Every project gets a free, itemized estimate before we start.
| Service | Price Range in Hollywood |
|---|---|
| Impact Window Installation | $8,000-$25,000 |
| Window Replacement | $4,500-$15,000 |
| Full Kitchen Remodeling | $14,000-$45,000 |
What drives the number: count and size of openings, whether we’re working with original 1950s-70s framing or newer construction, and whether DEP permitting applies for coastal-zone properties. Homes east of the Intracoastal typically add permit complexity and corrosion-resistant hardware specs that mainland projects don’t need. Our estimates include all labor, materials, permits, and haul-away. No line item gets buried. Call (844) 665-0162 for an exact quote on your specific PGT project, estimates are free.

FAQs - PGT Construction in Hollywood
Yes. Hollywood’s entire jurisdiction sits in the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, so every impact window must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance with HVHZ listing. Standard Florida Product Approval alone won’t pass Broward inspection here. We verify NOA compliance on every PGT unit before ordering. Call (844) 665-0162 and we’ll check your spec sheet.
The thermal seal has failed, usually from gasket degradation. On Hollywood’s barrier island, salt air accelerates this dramatically compared to inland Broward. Pre-2010 WinGuard units are especially prone. Fogging means the insulating argon has escaped and moisture has entered, the glass is no longer performing to its rated U-factor or sound dampening. Whole-lite replacement with current-spec PGT glass restores the full assembly rating.
We don’t recommend it for Hollywood properties. HVHZ fastening schedules are specific, permit inspectors check fastener type and spacing, and coastal-zone homes need DEP clearance. A failed inspection means pulling the unit and starting over. We’ve been called in to fix DIY installs that missed the NOA verification step, and the rework always costs more than doing it right initially.
Hollywood’s eastern ZIPs fall inside Florida’s Coastal Construction Control Line. Any PGT impact window install on the ocean side requires a DEP permit and corrosion-resistant fasteners, stainless steel or equivalent, that mainland Broward projects don’t need. The CCCL permit adds time and scrutiny, but it’s not optional. We handle both permit tracks as part of our standard process for barrier island properties.
Kitchen Remodeling - Hollywood projects aside, impact window installation in Hollywood runs $8,000-$25,000 depending on opening count, size, and whether coastal-zone permitting applies. Older east-side CBS homes often need reframing and HVHZ fastener upgrades that newer construction doesn’t. Window replacement on a smaller scale starts at $4,500. Call (844) 665-0162 for a free estimate tailored to your specific openings and location.
