Fast, Reliable Windows & Doors Across Hollywood
Impact window installation in Hollywood, FL typically runs $8,000-$25,000 for a full-home upgrade, while window replacement projects generally fall between $4,500-$15,000 depending on your home’s size, frame condition, and whether you’re upgrading from original jalousie windows. Most Hollywood homeowners see permits approved within 2-3 weeks when the right Miami-Dade NOA documentation is submitted upfront. Call our Windows & Doors team at (844) 665-0162 and we’ll walk you through the HVHZ requirements before you spend a dime.
We’ve been crossing the Intracoastal to work in Hollywood since we opened our Fort Lauderdale office, and we know the difference between a 1960s CBS bungalow near North Beach and a 1990s tract home west of I-95. That matters because Hollywood’s building stock spans six decades of code changes, and the window or door that works in one neighborhood can fail permitting in another. Our crews are on Hollywood roads daily, from Hollywood Boulevard out to Stirling Road, and we schedule most consultations within 48 hours.
Why Groundwork Construction Co. of South Florida Is Hollywood’s Preferred Windows & Doors Company
Hollywood homeowners call us back because we show up knowing their specific situation. We’ve replaced jalousie windows in the 33020 ZIP, installed impact sliders in 33024 patio homes, and handled full envelope upgrades on barrier island properties where salt air dictates every material choice. Raymond Estevez built our window and door division around a simple idea: you choose the brand, we handle the build, and nobody gets surprised at the permit desk.
Our response time to Hollywood averages same-day or next-day for consultations, and we carry HVHZ-approved product lines from Andersen, Pella, Marvin, and PGT so we’re not ordering materials after you sign. That matters in Hollywood, where a permit delay from the wrong NOA can push your project into hurricane season. We also understand the snowbird rhythm: many of our Hollywood clients are seasonal residents who need work completed while they’re up north, with photo documentation and lockbox coordination so they return to a finished job.
Groundwork is a single-source contractor, which means your window project doesn’t turn into a framing repair, then a stucco patch, then three separate subcontractors. Our crews handle the full scope, from demolition through final sealant. That’s especially valuable in Hollywood’s older neighborhoods, where opening a wall often reveals corroded fasteners or outdated structural ties that need addressing before new windows go in.
Our Windows & Doors Services in Hollywood
Hurricane Impact Windows
Every impact window we install in Hollywood must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance with an HVHZ listing. This isn’t a Broward County preference; it’s a legal requirement that contractors from Palm Beach or Central Florida routinely miss, killing permits for weeks while they scramble for compliant products. We spec impact windows from PGT and CGI that already carry the right NOA, and we verify the fastener schedule against your home’s original construction type. In Hollywood’s 33019 barrier island zone, we also specify marine-grade finishes to combat salt-air corrosion that standard anodized aluminum can’t withstand.
Impact Sliding Glass Doors
Hollywood’s patio culture means sliding glass doors take a beating from sun, salt, and sand. Our impact sliding door replacements use stainless steel rollers and corrosion-resistant tracks rated for coastal exposure, with multi-point locking systems that meet HVHZ pressure requirements. We see a lot of original 1970s aluminum sliders in Hollywood’s mid-century homes; these single-wall frames flex in high winds and leak air year-round. Upgrading to a modern impact-rated system with thermal break framing typically cuts the homeowner’s cooling load noticeably, which matters when you’re cooling a home through a Hollywood August.
Window Replacement
Not every Hollywood home needs full impact conversion. If your house was built after 1994 with existing impact-rated openings, or if you’re working within a specific budget, targeted window replacement with HVHZ-approved units can solve operational problems without overbuilding. We assess each opening individually: sash condition, frame integrity, and whether the original installation used proper flashing integration with Hollywood’s common stucco exteriors. In 33023 and 33024, where 1980s-1990s homes often have functional but dated vinyl windows, we can upgrade to modern Simonton or Jeld-Wen units that improve energy performance while maintaining the original aesthetic.
Door Installation
Entry doors in Hollywood face unique stresses: direct sun exposure, salt air on eastern exposures, and the security concerns of seasonal residents. We install impact-rated entry systems from Therma-Tru and Masonite with HVHZ-compliant hardware, plus fiberglass and steel options that resist denting and corrosion better than standard steel in coastal conditions. For snowbird clients, we routinely spec multi-point locks and smart lock compatibility so they can monitor access remotely while the house sits empty.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hollywood
Our window and door installations draw from Andersen, Pella, Marvin, Milgard, Jeld-Wen, Simonton, PGT, and CGI, covering mainstream through impact-rated and architectural-grade product lines. We maintain relationships with regional distributors who stock HVHZ-listed units locally, which means most Hollywood projects aren’t waiting on cross-country freight. For ADU and home addition clients, we can also coordinate window packages through our prefab partners including Mighty Buildings and Boxabl, where factory-installed glazing arrives already certified. You choose the brand and performance tier that fits your project; we handle the build, the permitting, and the documentation.
Common Windows & Doors Problems We See in Hollywood Homes
- Salt-air corrosion on barrier island properties. The Atlantic exposure in Hollywood’s 33019 ZIP accelerates aluminum oxidation and steel fastener degradation. We see sliding door tracks seize and window cranks snap off in under ten years without marine-grade specifications.
- Original jalousie windows in pre-1992 CBS homes. These louvered glass panels were standard in 1960s-1970s Hollywood construction and offer virtually no impact resistance. They’re also impossible to seal against air infiltration, driving up cooling costs year-round.
- Failed or missing flashing behind stucco. Hollywood’s older homes often have windows installed directly into block openings with minimal or deteriorated moisture barriers. When we remove the old unit, we frequently find water intrusion paths that need remediation before new windows go in.
- Non-HVHZ products specified by out-of-area contractors. We’ve been called to rescue Hollywood projects where a contractor from Boca or Orlando installed windows with standard Florida Product Approval, only to have Broward Building Code reject the permit. The fix requires full removal and reinstallation.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Hollywood, FL

| Impact Window Installation (full home) | $8,000-$25,000 |
| Window Replacement (select openings) | $4,500-$15,000 |
Your final price depends on several Hollywood-specific factors: whether your home needs structural framing upgrades to meet current HVHZ fastening requirements, the extent of stucco repair and repainting around openings, and whether you’re converting from original jalousie or awning windows that require larger rough openings. Homes in 33019 may need additional corrosion-resistant hardware upgrades. We provide itemized estimates before any work begins, and consultations are free. Call (844) 665-0162 to schedule.

FAQs - Windows & Doors in Hollywood
Hollywood sits entirely within Florida’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, a designation shared only with Miami-Dade County, and Broward adopted Miami-Dade’s product approval standards rather than maintaining a separate list. Standard Florida Product Approval does not automatically include HVHZ listing, which is why contractors from neighboring counties often get surprised at the permit desk. We verify HVHZ status on every product before quoting. Call (844) 665-0162 and we’ll confirm your specifications are compliant.
Sometimes, but not always. On a 1960s CBS home near North Beach (ZIP 33019), our crew replaced original jalousie windows with HVHZ-approved impact sliders and a matching impact entry door from a Miami-Dade NOA list. The block walls were sound, but we had to install new pressure-treated buck framing and stainless steel fasteners to meet current HVHZ attachment schedules. The original steel lintels were also corroded from salt exposure and needed replacement. We assess each opening structurally before promising a frame-retain solution.
Salt air accelerates corrosion of standard aluminum frames, steel rollers, and zinc-plated hardware by a factor of three to five compared to inland Broward. We specify 316 stainless steel hardware and anodized or powder-coated aluminum with a coastal-rated finish for every barrier island installation. Without these specs, we’ve seen sliding doors become inoperable in six to eight years. The homeowner, a seasonal snowbird, wanted belt-drive openers with battery backup so the door works during summer outages-a key peace-of-mind feature while the house sits empty.
Battery backup is essential for Hollywood snowbirds who leave homes empty through summer storm season. We install belt-drive openers with integrated battery systems that provide 24+ hours of standby operation during outages, plus WiFi connectivity for remote status monitoring. Keyless entry pads with illuminated buttons also help when you return after months away and don’t want to fumble for remotes. The quieter belt drive is appreciated in Hollywood’s dense 55+ communities where garage noise carries between units.
Hollywood’s historic districts, including portions of the downtown corridor and some North Beach neighborhoods, may require additional architectural review for visible exterior changes. The underlying HVHZ product approval requirements remain the same, but the Historic Preservation Board can influence material color, profile, and installation method. We coordinate with Broward’s permit office and, when necessary, the historic review process to ensure your impact upgrade doesn’t stall on aesthetic grounds. Call (844) 665-0162 and we’ll verify whether your property falls within a review district.
