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

Fast, Reliable Custom & Geometric Windows Across Hollywood

Custom and geometric window work in Hollywood, FL comes down to three things: Miami-Dade NOA approval, precise rough-opening measurements, and an installer who has pulled Hollywood permits before.

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

Ed Winslow founded this company in 2011, and his name is on the door, on the truck, and on every job we do. That matters in Hollywood, where homeowners and condo boards have been burned by fly-by-night installers who do not understand what HVHZ permitting actually requires. We do. Every tech who pulls up to a Hollywood job is background-checked and in uniform, and a live person answers our phone 24/7. No call center. No voicemail loop. When a Hollywood Beach condo board calls at 7 a.m. about a milestone inspection deadline, somebody here picks up.

We have spent years working through Hollywood’s mid-century grid neighborhoods and its A1A condo corridor, so we already know what the building department will flag on a geometric window permit. That local knowledge shortens approvals and cuts down on surprise costs. Ed Winslow signs off on the workmanship, and every installation is covered by the Done Right Promise: if it is not done right, we make it right, period. No ticket number, no corporate runaround. Just a guy who owns the result.

Our Custom & Geometric Windows Services in Hollywood

Custom Impact Windows

Every custom impact window we build for a Hollywood address carries Miami-Dade NOA approval, which is the standard Broward County actually enforces under its HVHZ classification. On a 1960s CBS ranch near Hollywood Boulevard, that matters. A circle-top or trapezoid sash has to hold its design pressure rating in a wind event, not just look right from the curb. We pull the permit, we check the existing framing, and we install a unit that passes the wind-mitigation inspection the first time.

Geometric & Shaped Windows

Pentagons, octagons, trapezoids, and parallelogram windows are common on Hollywood’s mid-century ranches and split-levels. They are also the most frequently misordered windows we see. If a homeowner measures to the old aluminum frame instead of the rough opening, the new sash arrives undersized and the jamb gaps break the air and water seal. We cut the jamb back ourselves, measure the actual structural opening, and write the order to that number, not to a frame that has been sagging for fifty years.

Arched & Curved Windows

Arched and half-round windows are everywhere in Hollywood Lakes and the South Central Beach district, often as single fixed units over entry doors or picture windows. The old ones are typically single-pane aluminum with zero impact resistance and frames corroded from salt air. Replacing them means matching the radius precisely, which we do by templating the rough opening after demo. No guessing. Your new arch comes from an authorized manufacturer, not a back-of-the-truck leftover.

Oversized Openings

Oversized fixed-glass openings on Hollywood Beach and Intracoastal-facing properties present a structural problem most installers do not want to touch. The old 1970s sliding door or picture window often hides a sill track that has corroded completely shut. We angle-grind out the entire rough opening, patch the concrete, and then set an HVHZ-approved unit rated for the opening’s design pressure. It is half a day of structural prep before any glass goes in, and it is exactly the kind of work we have been doing on Hollywood condo retrofits for years.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hollywood

We install and service windows from PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru. For Hollywood’s custom and geometric work, we lean often on Mr-Glass for tight-radius and trapezoid fabrication, and ECO Window Systems when a condo board needs documented Miami-Dade NOA test reports for the full configuration. Because we install these brands regularly, we can order exact replacement sashes and hardware without waiting on a distributor to hunt down a part number. That keeps a Hollywood Beach retrofit moving when a milestone inspection deadline is breathing down the HOA’s neck.

Common Custom & Geometric Windows Problems We See in Hollywood Homes

• No Miami-Dade NOA approval. A homeowner buys a geometric window online, gets it delivered, and then cannot pull the Hollywood permit because the product fails HVHZ design pressure for its size. Now the window sits in a garage and the opening is still empty.
• Measured to the frame, not the rough opening. Arched and half-round windows measured to the old aluminum frame arrive undersized. The jamb gaps that result wreck the air and water seal, and the homeowner pays twice.
• Salt corrosion hiding behind vinyl trim. On a beach condo’s custom corner window, the corroded laminated glass interlayer and rotted frame are invisible until the unit is removed. By then, water is already inside the wall cavity.
• Jalousie glass with zero impact rating. Hollywood’s 1950s CBS ranch homes still carry original jalousie windows. They do not seal against wind-driven rain, they do not hold pressure in a storm, and they cannot be retrofitted to any meaningful protection standard.

What Custom & Geometric Windows Costs in Hollywood

You should expect a custom or geometric impact window in Hollywood to land between $1,200 and $2,800 per unit, and an oversized or complex opening from $2,500 to $5,000. Standard impact single-hungs run $900 to $1,800. Whole-home packages on a mid-century ranch or a condo unit go from $8,000 to $25,000+. What moves the price in Hollywood specifically is floor height and wind zone. A third-floor beach condo opening needs a higher design pressure rating than a ground-floor inland ranch window, and the glass and frame engineering scale accordingly. Opening count, frame material, and the amount of structural repair behind the old frame also matter. We do not quote a job blind. We come out, pull the old trim or at least inspect what we can, and give you a written line-item number. No change orders hiding in the fine print, and the free estimate is exactly that: free.

Florida Pays You Back

Hollywood homeowners who replace old, non-impact geometric windows with Miami-Dade NOA-approved units can stack several incentives. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, and impact windows count. There is also a state sales-tax exemption on impact-resistant windows and doors. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit can cover 30% of product cost on qualifying units, up to $600 per year. After a wind-mitigation inspection, which typically costs $75 to $150, many Hollywood homeowners see the windstorm portion of their insurance premium drop by around 25% on average. None of this is guaranteed; your insurer and the program administrators set the final numbers. But the stack is real, and we help you get the paperwork in order. Call (727) 483-7883 to talk through which incentives apply to your Hollywood project.

One more thing worth knowing before you decide between shutters and impact glass. Shutters protect a window only when someone is home and willing to hang them before a storm. Impact windows are permanent. No panels in the garage, no ladder work in a rain band, no arguing with your condo board about who puts the shutters up. On a beam-and-stucco Hollywood ranch or an aging beach condo, permanent rated glass also ends the building-envelope problem shutters simply ignore. That is why we install more impact glass than we sell shutter retrofits for.

What We Find When We Open Up an Older Hollywood Home

Building this page on what actually happens once an old Hollywood window comes out is the only honest way to write it. The glass is the easy part. Behind the trim, we find undersized or rotted framing, failed waterproofing, and sometimes wiring that the original 1950s electrician ran far too close to a window opening to pass a current inspection. A permit triggers code upgrades. That is a fact of life on any Hollywood retrofit, and it is the single biggest reason a window quote moves once work starts.

Our process addresses that before anybody orders glass. We inspect the openings first, pull a permit, and write structural allowances into the contract. If we find a sagging header, we pack out the jamb with pressure-treated lumber and correct it. If we find rot from decades of salt intrusion, we cut it out and rebuild before setting the new unit. Any surprise gets priced and approved in writing before we touch it. No invoice surprises. No stories later. That is how Ed Winslow runs jobs in Hollywood, and it is why our customers do not flinch when a reno opens a wall.

Here is what that looks like in practice. On a mid-century CBS ranch in Hollywood Lakes, our crew found a trapezoid fixed window over the front door that was original to the 1950s build and had zero impact-rated glazing. After lifting the permit, we packed out the jamb with pressure-treated lumber to correct a sagging header, then set a PGT custom-trapezoid unit with a Miami-Dade NOA laminated glass interlayer and stainless hardware. The job passed wind-mitigation inspection the first time.

That is the difference between an installer who has done Hollywood permits and one who has not. Hollywood’s HVHZ classification under Broward County requires every custom or geometric window replacement to carry Miami-Dade NOA approval, not just the state-level Florida Product Approval accepted in most of Florida. A circle-top window on a 1960s ranch near Hollywood Boulevard must be sourced and permitted under a stricter structural and impact standard than the same job in inland Broward. We know that before the first measurement, because we have been navigating Hollywood’s permit office and HVHZ paperwork on custom shapes for a long time.

If you are sitting on a geometric window project in Hollywood, call us. We will come out, measure the real openings, check the existing structure, and write you a quote you can plan around. (727) 483-7883. Free estimate, no trip charge inside the county, and a permanent 10% discount for seniors and veterans. The one down the road.
