AfterWindow Company in Hollywood, FL
Westlight Windows & Doors is a Hollywood window company that handles replacement, installation, and door work for the city’s unique stock of 1950s-1970s CBS ranch homes and beachside condos. Hollywood sits inside Florida’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, which means every window and door we touch here has to meet Miami-Dade NOA standards. That single fact shapes how we price, which products we recommend, and why we pull permits on every job. Call (903) 354-7134 when you want a straight answer about your home.
Why Hollywood Homes Are Different
Hollywood’s residential core is overwhelmingly post-WWII concrete block construction. Thousands of ranch-style homes from the 1950s through the 1970s still have original jalousie, louvered, or single-pane aluminum windows. Those assemblies were never built for hurricane loads, and most are now code non-compliant and nearly uninsurable at standard rates. On the A1A corridor, the story changes: aging mid-rise and high-rise condos from the 1960s-1980s need balcony sliding glass door replacements that satisfy both HVHZ product requirements and condo association board approvals.
The climate punishes window and door hardware faster here than almost anywhere else in Florida. Year-round salt air off the Atlantic accelerates corrosion of aluminum frames, sill fasteners, and glazing hardware. We regularly see impact-rated assemblies from a decade ago failing at the weatherstripping and seal level because 60+ inches of annual rainfall and persistent humidity simply work through materials faster. A Hollywood window job is never just a swap; it’s a corrosion-and-code job.
And the compliance trap is real: Broward County HVHZ permit inspectors require the NOA number on the permit application to match the exact installed unit. If a contractor substitutes a “comparable” impact window mid-job without amending the permit, the inspection fails and the unit comes out. Crews who learned their trade in non-HVHZ counties north of Palm Beach run into this constantly. We don’t, because Hollywood jobs are what we plan for from the first visit.
Our Main Hollywood Services
Most Hollywood homeowners call us for one of two things: replacing old, failing windows with code-compliant impact units, or installing new doors that actually seal against the coastal air. Here’s how each works in Hollywood specifically.
Window Replacement in Hollywood
Replacement in Hollywood usually means pulling 1950s-1970s jalousie or single-pane aluminum frames out of concrete block openings and setting modern impact-rated units into those same openings, often with new buck frames and flashings that meet the HVHZ standard. The permit is the defining step: Broward County inspectors match the Miami-Dade NOA number on the paperwork to the unit in the wall. Full details, including real price ranges and the replacement process, are on our Window Replacement in Hollywood page.
Window Installation in Hollywood
New window installation in Hollywood often comes up when a homeowner has already bought windows, or during a remodel or addition where the rough openings are being framed new. The challenge here is that any new opening in Hollywood must still carry a Miami-Dade NOA product, or the inspection dies on the table. Our Window Installation in Hollywood page covers how we handle new construction, remodel openings, and the paperwork that keeps the job moving.
Door Installation in Hollywood
Entry doors, French doors, and sliding glass doors in Hollywood face the same salt-air and wind-load realities as windows. A non-impact door on a 1960s ranch home is a weak point in the building envelope, and on A1A condos, sliding balcony doors are among the first assemblies to corrode or fail an inspection. Our team carries impact-rated options from brands like Therma-Tru and CGI to match the opening and the code. Learn more at Door Installation in Hollywood.

In Hollywood, the price usually shifts on three things: the NOA product you choose, the condition of the concrete opening (older ranch homes often need buck-frame repair), and whether a condo board is involved. What doesn’t shift is our practice: you get a written price before any work begins, and we don’t revise it at the door.

FAQs About Window Company in Hollywood
Yes. Every replacement window and exterior door in Hollywood requires a Broward County HVHZ permit, and we handle the paperwork, the NOA matching, and the inspection scheduling as part of the job. You’ll know the permit status before we start. Call (903) 354-7134 to get the process moving.
Condo work on the A1A corridor often needs board approval before any unit change. We provide the manufacturer specs and NOA numbers your board will ask for, and we’ll work within their schedule. The written price you get from us won’t change because the board process takes a few extra weeks.
Most Hollywood estimates are scheduled within a few business days, and because we stock impact-rated products locally, installation often follows within two to four weeks of permit approval. For a specific timeline on your project, call (903) 354-7134 and we’ll give you a real window, in writing.

What Hollywood Customers Say
"Got quotes from three companies. Westlight wasn't the cheapest but they were the only one who measured everything carefully and put it all in writing. Worth it. No surprises on install day."
- Craig Dillard"Our sliding patio door had come off its track years ago and we just lived with it. New one is smooth as butter. They hauled off the old one and vacuumed up before they left."
- Jessica Landry"Replaced eight drafty old windows that were basically single pane. The house is warmer already and the street noise is way down. Crew was on time both days and the price was exactly the quote."
- Harold Bemis
