In Hollywood, FL, hurricane impact windows typically run about $90 to $150 per square foot installed, putting most whole-home packages between roughly $12,000 and $35,000. Impact entry doors generally run $2,500 to $6,000 each and impact sliding glass doors $4,000 to $12,000. Green Contractors FL is a licensed Hollywood contractor (CGC1535102) offering financing.
- Budget roughly $90 to $150 per square foot installed for impact windows in the Hollywood market.
- A typical 10 to 15 opening home lands between about $12,000 and $35,000 for a full window and door package.
- Hollywood is in Broward County, inside Florida’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so every unit needs HVHZ approval and a pulled permit. That is built into the price.
- Sliding glass doors and large custom shapes are the most expensive openings; standard single-hung windows are the least.
- Financing is available through Green Contractors FL, subject to approval.
Typical cost by opening type in Hollywood
Most homeowners do not really buy “windows.” They buy a set of openings, and each opening type carries its own price. The ranges below are general South Florida market ranges for installed impact products, not a quote from Green Contractors FL. Your real number comes from measuring your actual openings.
| Opening type | Typical installed range (South Florida) |
|---|---|
| Standard single-hung impact window (about 15 sq ft) | $1,300 to $2,500 |
| Large picture or custom-shape impact window | $2,500 to $5,000 |
| Impact front entry door | $2,500 to $6,000 |
| Impact sliding glass door (2 to 3 panel) | $4,000 to $12,000 |
| Whole-home package (10 to 15 openings) | $12,000 to $35,000 |
Older Hollywood homes close to the beach often need larger or odd-shaped units, and any house with a wide rear slider almost always lands in the upper half of these ranges. The sliding glass door system is usually the single most expensive opening in the house.
Why Hollywood sits at the higher end of Florida pricing
Hollywood is in Broward County, which sits inside Florida’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ). That is the strictest wind-borne debris standard in the country, and it changes what you are allowed to install on your house.
Every window and door has to carry an HVHZ-rated approval, either a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance or a Florida Product Approval, and the work has to be permitted and inspected. A cheaper non-HVHZ unit bought online cannot legally go into a Hollywood home, which is a large part of why quotes here read higher than quotes in Central Florida.
Permit fees, engineering documents and the inspection schedule are real line items on a legitimate job. A quote that leaves them out is not a complete quote.
What moves your price up or down
- Number and size of openings. This is the biggest single driver. Square footage is what the pricing is actually built on.
- Glass package. Clear impact glass is the baseline. Low-E, tinted and laminated upgrades add cost and add energy performance.
- Frame material. Vinyl and aluminum frames price differently, and the structural opening dictates what can be used.
- Shape and configuration. Arches, bays, oversized picture windows and multi-panel sliders all cost more than rectangular single-hung units.
- Install complexity. Second-floor work, stucco repair, block versus frame construction and tie-in details all add labor hours.
- Permitting. City permit fees and required engineering vary by scope of work.
Windows, doors and sliders are priced differently
Impact windows
Windows are quoted per unit but priced off square footage. Replacing ten similar single-hung windows is the most predictable version of this project, and it is where per-opening pricing is lowest.
Impact and storm doors
A front entry door is a single opening, but it carries hardware, a frame, a threshold and finish work, so it rarely prices like a window of the same size. For a closer look at what drives that price, see our guide to impact doors cost in Hollywood, FL: what to expect.
Sliding glass doors
Sliders are large glass spans in a structural opening. They protect the biggest vulnerability in most South Florida homes and they are the line item that moves a quote the most.
Insurance credits and energy savings
Florida insurers commonly offer wind mitigation credits for approved opening protection. The amount is set by your carrier after a wind mitigation inspection, so treat it as a question for your insurance agent rather than a number a contractor can promise you.
On the energy side, impact glass with a Low-E coating reduces heat gain through the opening, which matters in a Hollywood summer. It also cuts outside noise noticeably, which homeowners near Hollywood Boulevard and the beach tend to notice first.
Financing the project
A whole-home impact package is a five-figure project for most homes, and few people pay for it out of pocket in one payment. Green Contractors FL offers financing so the job can be done in one phase instead of a few windows at a time. Approval and terms are set by the lender.
How to compare two quotes fairly
- Confirm the quote lists HVHZ product approval numbers, not just a brand name.
- Check whether the permit and inspections are included or excluded.
- Count the openings. Two quotes often cover different numbers of windows.
- Check the glass package on each line. Clear versus Low-E changes the price.
- Confirm who handles stucco, drywall and finish repair around the opening after installation.
