PGT Windows & Doors in Hollywood, FL | Winslow Windows & Doors
We provide independent PGT window and door service throughout Hollywood, from the beachfront condos along A1A to the CBS ranch homes west of I-95. What makes our PGT work different here is straightforward: we understand how Hollywood’s HVHZ coastal conditions attack these specific products, and we repair or replace them without manufacturer authorization or warranty interference. If you own PGT windows or sliding glass doors in Hollywood, call (727) 483-7883 for a straight answer and a free estimate from a team that’s been doing this work since 2011.
We’re Winslow Windows & Doors, and we’ve spent years working on PGT equipment across Hollywood’s two very different housing worlds: the salt-blasted condo towers on the barrier island and the 1950s-70s concrete block homes in the original grid. Full PGT sales & service is a core part of what we do, and our Hollywood service area covers every neighborhood from Hollywood Lakes to Emerald Hills to Driftwood.
Why Hollywood Residents Choose Us for PGT Service
Ed Winslow has spent the better part of three decades installing and replacing windows and doors across Miami-Dade and Broward, and he learned the trade hands-on at Miami Dade College’s Wolfson Campus, where he got the building science fundamentals that still shape every job we take. His name is on the business, and that changes how we approach a PGT repair in Hollywood: we’re not reading from a corporate script, we’re looking at your actual frames, your actual exposure, and your building’s actual inspection status.
We stock genuine PGT rollers, handles, weatherstripping, balances, and mullion hardware so Hollywood homeowners and condo boards aren’t waiting a week for a part to ship from the factory. We’re background-checked, uniformed, and we answer the phone live at (727) 483-7883, 24 hours a day. When you call about a PGT slider that won’t slide or a WinGuard casement with fogged glass, a real person picks up, and we can usually have a tech at your door that same week, often sooner.
Our standing offers apply to every PGT job in Hollywood: $40 off any repair over $200, a free second opinion on any written estimate, no trip charge inside our home county, and a permanent 10% discount for seniors and veterans.
Common PGT Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Hollywood
- Salt-driven pitting and oxidation at aluminum sill tracks and interlock ends on PGT 5500/7700 sliders. This is the single most common failure we see in Hollywood Beach and Intracoastal-facing condos. The Atlantic spray gets into the track, condensation from AC meets the humid macroclimate air, and the aluminum corrodes until the door won’t budge. We replace the rollers, clean and treat the track, or grind out and rebuild the rough opening when corrosion has gone too far.
- Failed glazing tape on 1990s WinGuard casements. Hollywood’s UV load and salt air break down the old tape, letting moisture into the sash frame. We see fogging between the panes and water pooling along the weep channels. The honest fix is a new sealed glass pack, not a patch that’ll fog again in two years.
- Brittle mullion clips and corner keys on vinyl WinGuard picture-window combos. Two decades of thermal expansion and contraction in Hollywood’s heat cycles makes those clips snap. The frame racks, the sash misaligns, and the window won’t lock. We replace the hardware and square the frame back up.
- Impact screens scarred and pitted by windblown sand on oceanfront balconies. The glass is usually fine; the screen is shot. We replace PGT impact screens so you don’t have to choose between a sandblasted view and a snag hazard.
- Hardware fatigue on high-cycle doors. In Hollywood’s rental-heavy beachfront buildings, PGT 5500 Series sliders get opened and closed a hundred times a day. Rollers wear out fast. We keep stainless rollers in stock for exactly this reason.
PGT Service in Hollywood: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s what separates Hollywood from every other PGT service market in South Florida. Hollywood’s beachfront condo associations are under Broward County’s 30/40-year milestone inspection rule, but many of their original PGT aluminum sliding glass doors were installed in the 1970s, before Miami-Dade NOA testing even existed. That means the very PGT model the building originally put in can no longer be sourced or repaired to current code for Impact Windows - Hollywood standards. A repair that might pass in a single-family home in inland Hollywood won’t fly in a milestone inspection on the A1A strip. The building faces a full replacement, and the board has to make decisions fast, with documentation that the county will actually accept. We’ll come through Hollywood Lakes or down Hollywood Boulevard to the barrier island and give you the straight story: what can be saved, what can’t, and what the inspector is going to flag before they even step onto the balcony.
On A1A just south of Hollywood Boulevard, our crew pulled six original PGT 5500 Series sliders from a 1972 oceanfront condo whose sill tracks had corroded completely shut from decades of salt intrusion. We had to angle-grind the entire rough openings down to concrete, patch, and then set new Miami-Dade NOA PGT WinGuard 3-panel sliders with stainless rollers to resist the same spray. That’s not a simple swap, it’s a half-day structural prep job per opening, and it’s the kind of work you only learn by doing it in Hollywood.
PGT Models & Products We Service in Hollywood
We service the full PGT lineup you’re likely to find in Hollywood: WinGuard Vinyl (the original Miami-Dade NOA impact line), PremierVue Vinyl (non-impact, retrofit-friendly, common in inland ranch homes), the 5500 Series aluminum sliding glass door, and the 7700 Series aluminum single-hung still hanging on in pre-2000 oceanfront buildings. We use genuine PGT parts whenever the unit is serviceable: rollers, handles, weatherstripping, balances, mullion clips. But for sealed glass packs and old aluminum extrusions beyond economic remanufacture, we recommend full-frame replacement with a current Miami-Dade NOA PGT unit rather than a partial patch that can’t be re-certified. Repair is honest and economical for hardware. Replace is honest for failed insulated glass and corrosion-compromised frames.
PGT Service Pricing in Hollywood
PGT repair pricing in Hollywood depends on what we find when we open the unit. Hardware work like roller replacement and weatherstripping typically runs lower on the scale, while full-frame slider replacement in a beachfront condo runs higher because of the structural prep. Sealed glass packs fall in the middle. What you’ll never get is a vague number that balloons later. We give upfront pricing, written line-item quotes, and no change orders once we agree on scope.
- Roller/hardware repair on PGT slider: $180 – $340
- Sealed glass pack replacement (WinGuard casement or picture window): $400 – $900 per pack
- Weatherstripping and seal replacement: $150 – $300 per opening
- Full-frame PGT WinGuard slider replacement (condo, with structural prep): $2,500 – $5,000+ per opening
Every estimate is free, and we’ll walk you through exactly what the code in Hollywood requires before you spend a dollar. Call (727) 483-7883 to get an exact quote.

FAQs - PGT Windows & Doors in Hollywood
In most Hollywood Beach and Intracoastal condo buildings, the answer is no, a repair won’t pass. The 5500 and 7700 Series sliders predate Miami-Dade NOA testing, so even a mechanically perfect repair can’t be re-certified under current HVHZ code. Your building’s milestone inspector will flag it regardless of how well the door slides. Call (727) 483-7883 and we’ll come out, assess the specific unit, and give you the documentation-ready answer.
The Atlantic salt spray hitting Hollywood Beach and Intracoastal-facing units is airborne and constant. It settles into aluminum frame tracks and hardware, mixes with AC condensation and Hollywood’s humidity, and creates a corrosion cell that simply doesn’t exist at the same intensity near I-95. Salt-air corrosion on aluminum frames and hardware is measurably faster on the barrier island, and that’s why we stock stainless rollers and corrosion-resistant hardware for Hollywood’s coastal buildings specifically.
Usually yes, but the association’s engineer has to approve it first. A Miami-Dade NOA is the baseline requirement for any replacement in Hollywood under Broward County’s HVHZ classification, but some buildings have additional wind-load requirements based on their height and exposure. We’ve done enough Hollywood condo work to get you the right documentation and talk to your association’s specs. Call (727) 483-7883 for a free review.
In most Hollywood CBS ranch homes, an insert method works fine if the existing frame is square and structurally sound. The concrete block construction holds frames better than wood framing, so we rarely find racking that forces a full tear-out. But if the frame has corrosion from years of salt exposure or the rough opening was never flashed properly, full-frame replacement is the only way to get a clean seal. We’ll tell you which one applies to your specific house when we look at it.
We see moisture intrusion around the glazing tape long before the glass itself breaks. Hollywood’s UV load and salt air degrade the tape seal, humidity gets into the sash, and the panes fog from the inside. In non-coastal Florida, the same WinGuard unit might last another decade. In Hollywood, especially within a few blocks of the Intracoastal, the fogging shows up years earlier. The fix is a new sealed glass pack, not a defogging treatment.
