Why does being local matter for something as straightforward as a door? Because Hollywood is not like the rest of Broward County. The city sits in a High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which means your door has to meet a tougher product standard than the one used in most of Florida. Get that wrong and you’ll fail inspection, lose weeks, and pay twice. We’ve been navigating those rules for over a decade, and Ed Winslow’s name is on every job we do.

Key Takeaways:

• Entry door replacement in Hollywood typically costs $1,200-$4,800; hurricane-rated doors run $2,800-$7,500.
• Hollywood is an HVHZ jurisdiction - every replacement door must carry Miami-Dade NOA approval, not just state Florida Product Approval.
• We offer free in-home measurements and written line-item quotes with no trip charge anywhere in Hollywood.
• Live person answers 24/7 at (727) 483-7883. No voicemail loops, no call centers.

Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Hollywood’s Preferred Door Installation Company

We’ve been installing doors in South Florida since 2011, and Hollywood has always been part of our regular service area. That matters because this city throws unique curveballs at contractors: salt air on the barrier island, corroded aluminum sub-frames in 1960s condo towers, and an HVHZ code that rejects products most suppliers happily sell elsewhere. We know which brands clear Broward County inspections here and which ones won’t, and we don’t waste your time quoting doors that can’t be legally installed in your building.

Ed Winslow founded this company on a simple standard: if it’s not done right, we make it right. That’s the Done Right Promise, and it’s written into how we scope every project in Hollywood. Our published address and license number are on every quote. Every technician who pulls up to your home is background-checked and in uniform, so you know exactly who is at your door before they ring the bell.

Hollywood homeowners call us because we answer. Not a voicemail, not a call center. A live person, any hour, every day of the week. You call (727) 483-7883 at 2 a.m. because a patio door just shattered, someone answers and starts working on your problem. That’s the standard, and we hold it for every neighborhood from Downtown Hollywood to Driftwood.

Our Door Installation Services in Hollywood

Entry Doors

An entry door in Hollywood does more than welcome guests. It’s your first line of defense against wind-driven rain, salt air, and the summer humidity cycle that warps cheap door slabs within a few seasons. We replace entry doors in everything from 1950s CBS ranches in the 33020 zip to newer construction in the 33024 neighborhoods west of I-95. You’ll get a door that latches true, seals tight, and is actually rated for the wind zone your house sits in.

Hurricane-Proof Front & Entry Doors

This is where Hollywood’s building code gets specific. Every hurricane-rated door we install here carries Miami-Dade NOA approval, which is a higher threshold than the state-level Florida Product Approval accepted in most of Broward and all of inland Florida. That means laminated or impact-rated glass, reinforced frames, and hardware tested to hold under design pressures matched to your specific opening. A front door that meets HVHZ standards doesn’t just survive the storm. It often qualifies you for a meaningful windstorm premium reduction on your homeowners insurance, especially after a wind mitigation inspection.

French & Double Doors

French doors are popular in Hollywood’s mid-century homes, especially where rear entries open onto patios or pool decks. The challenge in older houses is that original openings were framed to different dimensions than modern pre-hung units. We reframe rough openings properly, address any rot from decades of sprinkler overspray, and install double doors that swing clean and seal against the kind of sideways rain Hollywood gets during summer afternoons. For homes on large lots west of I-95, we also check county permitting requirements before quoting, because some double-door conversions touch setback lines in ways city permits don’t cover.

Replacement Doors

Sometimes the frame is fine and the door slab itself has failed: warped from humidity, corroded hardware, fogged glass, or a jamb that’s pulled loose from thousands of slams. We replace door slabs and full pre-hung units throughout Hollywood, from the Intracoastal corridor to the 33021 neighborhoods near Topeekeegee Yugnee Park. If you have an original jalousie door on an older ranch home, that’s a common replacement call for us - those louvered doors offer zero hurricane protection and typically can’t be retrofitted to code. Door Installation work like this is our bread and butter, and we scope it carefully before pricing.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hollywood

We’re authorized installers for Therma-Tru, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, among others. For Hollywood specifically, we lean on Therma-Tru for fiberglass entry doors that shrug off humidity and salt air better than wood, and on ECO Window Systems and Mr-Glass when a project calls for impact-rated glazing that clears Miami-Dade NOA review. Because we stock common hardware and parts for these brands and service Hollywood regularly, we can often turn around repairs and replacements faster than a shop that has to special-order every component. If you already have a door from one of these brands, we can service it. If you don’t, we’ll match the right product to your home and your wind zone.

Common Door Installation Problems We See in Hollywood Homes

• Corroded aluminum sub-frames on beach and Intracoastal condos. Decades of Atlantic salt spray seize sill tracks and eat through fasteners. A door swap that looks simple often requires grinding out the old frame, patching concrete, and rebuilding the rough opening before the new unit can be set.
• Rotted jambs from sprinkler overspray. In mid-century ranch neighborhoods off Taft Street and Johnson Street, we routinely find door frames softened by decades of irrigation hitting the same corner of the house. The slab might look fine, but the jamb is powder.
• Doors installed with state-level product approval only. Hollywood’s HVHZ code requires Miami-Dade NOA on replacement doors. An installer who doesn’t know the difference will sell you a door that fails inspection and has to be reordered. We’ve seen this delay projects by weeks.
• Ignoring county permits on large-lot properties. West of I-95, many Hollywood homes sit on acreage with septic systems and wells. A door that changes an exterior wall near a drain field can trigger county-level setback rules that a standard city permit won’t catch. We check for this before we quote, not after.

Pricing for Door Installation in Hollywood, FL

What Door Installation Costs in Hollywood

For comparison and planning purposes, here’s the broad picture across the work we do in Hollywood. Impact windows generally run $800 to $1,500 per window installed. Impact single-hung windows land between $900 and $1,800. Large or custom openings, like a picture window or a wide sliding glass door, run $2,500 to $5,000. Whole-home packages - replacing every opening in a typical Hollywood home - start around $8,000 and can exceed $25,000 on larger or waterfront properties.

Your door is one piece of that puzzle, and pricing it correctly means understanding the opening, the wind zone, and the product rating. A street-facing entry door on a Hollywood Lakes bungalow has a different design pressure requirement than a rear door on the same house. We calculate that per opening and put it in writing. Estimates are free, and the quote we give you is the price you pay.

Florida Pays You Back

Florida has real financial incentives for impact-rated doors and windows, and Hollywood homeowners can stack them. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades - doors and windows included. The state waives sales tax on impact-resistant doors and windows. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit can return 30% of product cost on qualifying units, up to $600 per year. And separately from all of that, a wind mitigation inspection ($75 to $150) that documents your new HVHZ-compliant doors typically drives down the windstorm portion of your premium by roughly 25%.

We don’t guarantee any specific dollar figure - your insurance carrier and the program administrators set the final numbers - but we’ll help you document the installation correctly so you can claim what you’re owed. The paperwork matters as much as the door.

The drive is short. The standards don’t change.

FAQs - Door Installation in Hollywood

Hollywood’s HVHZ Reality: What Most Installers Won’t Tell You

Hollywood’s HVHZ designation means every replacement door, even on a single-family ranch in a quiet grid neighborhood off Taft Street, must carry Miami-Dade NOA approval rather than the state-level Florida Product Approval accepted in most of Florida. That one requirement changes the entire sourcing conversation. It eliminates a lot of budget-friendly products, narrows the field to manufacturers who invest in stricter testing, and catches out-of-area installers off guard every single week. We’ve seen general contractors quote generic impact doors to Hollywood homeowners, collect a deposit, then discover at inspection that the glazing doesn’t clear NOA review. The door gets rejected, the product has to be reordered, and the homeowner waits another month.

On a 1950s CBS ranch off Taft Street, our crew removed an original jalousie door whose jamb had rotted from decades of sprinkler overspray. We rebuilt the rough opening, installed a PGT impact-rated entry door with laminated glass, and filed the wind mitigation paperwork that cut the homeowner’s insurance premium by nearly a third. That’s not a hypothetical. That’s the kind of job we do in Hollywood every month.

Hollywood’s one-two punch of HVHZ product rules and county septic/well permitting on large lots changes how your door install should be scoped before you pick a model or get a price. It’s not about scaring you off a project. It’s about doing it once, correctly, without a failed inspection or a reordered door.

One More Thing to Consider: Impact Doors vs. Shutters

If you’re weighing a hurricane-rated entry door against adding shutters, think about what you want the moment a storm warning hits. Impact-rated doors are always in place. You don’t climb a ladder in the rain to hang panels, you don’t store anything in the garage, and you don’t worry about a late-night evacuation scramble. Shutters do the job when they’re up, but permanent protection means your home is sealed before the first gust, not after you’ve spent an hour on a ladder. Given Hollywood’s evacuation zone coverage along the barrier island and Intracoastal, permanent protection matters. That’s why most of our Hollywood customers choose impact-rated doors over shutter systems for their primary entries.
