Sliding & Patio Doors in Hollywood, FL

Impact sliding and patio door replacement in Hollywood typically runs $2,800-$6,500 for a standard opening, with most projects permitted and installed within 4-6 weeks of order. Because Hollywood sits entirely inside Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, every permitted replacement must carry Florida Product Approval meeting HVHZ standards, effectively mandating impact-rated products on all new work.

What Opening Up an Older Hollywood Home Actually Reveals

We’ve replaced enough sliding doors in Hollywood to know the pattern. The homeowner sees a corroded track, a sticky roller, or fogged glass. What we find behind the frame is usually the bigger job.

Hollywood’s post-WWII CBS homes and 1960s-1980s mid-rises along A1A and Hollywood Beach Boulevard still run original aluminum-framed single-pane sliders. Salt air has been working on those frames for 40-60 years. When we pull the unit, we regularly find rusted-through sill pans, undersized header framing, and waterproofing that failed decades ago. Broward County’s post-Surfside 40-year recertification enforcement means structural engineers are now flagging these conditions at scale, and any permitted replacement triggers a full opening inspection that surfaces everything that was deferred.

Our crew was called out to a 1970s CBS home off Hollywood Beach Boulevard, where the original single-pane aluminum slider had been corroded shut by 50 years of salt air. We opened the jamb and found the sill pan rusted through and the header framing undersized, which turned a straightforward slider swap into a reframing job that required a Florida Product Approval-compliant impact slider and a full waterproofing rebuild. Because we priced those conditions as a written contract allowance and got approval in writing before touching anything, the homeowner wasn’t surprised when the final number came in.

This is why we start every Hollywood job with a measured survey you keep, and why every quote includes written allowances for concealed conditions. The price you approve is the price on the invoice. Haven Clause 1.

Our Sliding & Patio Doors Services in Hollywood

Impact Sliding Glass Doors

Every impact slider we install in Hollywood carries Florida Product Approval for HVHZ compliance and is specified to a design pressure matched to your opening’s exposure, floor height, and wind zone. We draw from PGT and CGI lines rated for the salt-air environment, with thermally broken frames and stainless hardware that resists the corrosion we see on east- and south-facing Hollywood exposures. The measured survey documents your exact opening dimensions, structural condition, and exposure; the written quote names the product, the PSF rating, and the installed price before any work starts.

Sliding Glass Door Replacement

Replacement work in Hollywood’s older housing stock almost always involves more than the door unit itself. Original non-impact single-pane aluminum sliders in 1950s-1970s CBS homes and mid-rise condos fail HVHZ standards outright, and any permitted replacement triggers a full opening inspection. We inspect the frame, sill pan, header, and waterproofing during our initial survey, photograph everything, and build allowances into the written scope. If we find conditions that change the price, you approve the revision in writing before we proceed. No surprise invoices.

Impact French Patio Doors

Impact French patio doors in Hollywood combine the aesthetic of traditional hinged doors with HVHZ-mandated impact protection. We specify units from ES Windows and CWS with multi-point locking, laminated glass, and frames rated for the design pressures required by your specific exposure. For Hollywood Beach Boulevard and A1A corridor properties, we pay particular attention to sill pan integration and drainage plane continuity, because salt-air intrusion at the threshold is where we see the most accelerated failure in beachside installations.

Screen Door Installation

We install retractable and fixed screen systems compatible with the impact door lines we carry, specified to the same opening dimensions and frame conditions documented in our measured survey. In Hollywood’s dense insect environment, proper screen fit and seal matter. We measure to the frame we find, not the frame we hope for.

What Sliding & Patio Doors Costs in Hollywood

These are the installed price ranges we quote in Hollywood, based on 2024-2025 permit data and our own job records. Every range assumes a standard rough opening in sound structural condition; concealed damage, reframing, or electrical work is priced separately in writing after inspection.

What moves the price in Hollywood: opening count and dimensions; wind exposure and floor height (higher floors, higher design pressures); frame material (aluminum, vinyl, or thermally broken composite); whether the existing opening requires reframing, sill pan replacement, or electrical relocation; and permit fees, which vary by project scope within Broward County’s unified system. We do not quote over the phone. Every estimate begins with a free measured survey at your Hollywood property, and the written quote you receive is the document we build from.

Common Sliding & Patio Doors Problems We See in Hollywood Homes

• Salt-air corrosion on east- and south-facing exposures. Hollywood’s direct Atlantic frontage and Intracoastal waterways create an unusually aggressive salt-air environment. Aluminum tracks, rollers, and sill pans corrode faster than in inland Broward cities like Plantation or Coral Springs. We see sliders seize and stop sealing years before their rated lifespan, particularly on beachside units along A1A.
• Failed waterproofing behind original sliders in 1960s-1980s mid-rises. The condo corridors along Hollywood Beach Boulevard and the Intracoastal still run original aluminum curtainwall and storefront systems. When we open these walls, the waterproofing membrane is often degraded to the point where reframing and full sill pan replacement are required before any new impact slider can be installed to HVHZ standards.
• Non-compliant single-pane units flagged during 40-year recertification. Broward County’s aggressively enforced post-Surfside recertification program is generating a steady pipeline of replacement work. Structural engineers flagging failed glazing systems during inspection are triggering slider replacement that building associations deferred for decades, often with compounded concealed damage.
• Oversized openings with undersized headers. Many Hollywood homes from the 1950s-1970s boom were built with header framing that predates current load requirements. When we remove an old slider, we regularly find headers that cannot support the weight and wind load of a modern impact-rated unit without reinforcement. We document this during survey, price it in the written scope, and pull the structural permit required to do it correctly.

Florida Pays You Back

Hollywood homeowners replacing non-impact sliders with HVHZ-compliant impact units may access several incentive programs. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, including impact door replacement. Florida law exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. The federal 25C energy credit provides 30% of product cost, up to $600 per year, on qualifying energy-efficient units. After installation, a wind-mitigation inspection ($75-$150) can qualify you for windstorm premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of your policy. Program eligibility and carrier credits are set by the administering agencies; we document product ratings and provide the Florida Product Approval numbers your inspector and insurer require.

Trusted Brands We Specify in Hollywood

We install from eight manufacturer lines, specified by what your opening requires, not by what is in stock. For Hollywood’s HVHZ environment, we most often draw from PGT’s WinGuard and CGI’s Estate Collection for impact sliders, with ES Windows and CWS for projects requiring specific thermal performance or custom dimensions. Every unit is ordered to the measured survey we completed at your property, with design pressure, U-factor, and SHGC documented on the written quote you approve. Lead times run 4-6 weeks for custom fabrication; we coordinate delivery from our Miami (South FL) office and schedule installation once your units arrive.
