Impact windows in Hollywood, FL
Hollywood sits in Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ), so new windows must meet impact standards and carry a current Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) or a Florida Product Approval explicitly listed as approved for HVHZ use. We install PGT WinGuard, ESW and Mr. Glass — all HVHZ approved and rated for 150+ mph winds — and we handle permits and inspections with the City of Hollywood for you. Impact windows also cut Florida windstorm insurance premiums by 30 to 45 percent under Florida Statute 627.0629.
Why Hollywood homeowners are upgrading now
Hollywood’s housing stock spans classic 1950s-60s CBS homes in Hollywood Lakes and Emerald Hills to newer construction in West Hollywood and the beach communities. Older aluminum-frame single-pane windows are the single most common reason a Hollywood home fails a wind mitigation inspection — and loses the insurance discount that comes with passing it. An impact window upgrade pays for itself twice: through the insurance savings, and through the resale value a certified, permitted upgrade adds.
Impact windows vs. hurricane shutters in Hollywood
Shutters have to be installed before every storm and removed after — impact windows protect your home every day, with nothing to put up when a storm approaches. Impact glass also blocks UV and cuts outside noise year-round, which shutters don’t do. For most Hollywood homeowners, impact windows are the lower-maintenance, higher-resale option; shutters remain a lower-upfront-cost choice for homes planning a larger future renovation.
Areas we serve in Hollywood
Hollywood Lakes, Emerald Hills, Hollywood Hills, West Hollywood, Beverly Park and the beach communities — ZIP codes 33019, 33020, 33021, 33023, 33024 and 33025 — plus neighboring Dania Beach, Hallandale Beach and Pembroke Pines.
How the process works
1. Free in-home measurement. We measure every opening on site and review your current window condition.
2. Product selection. PGT WinGuard, ESW or Mr. Glass, matched to your budget and the look of your home.
3. Permit coordination. We handle the City of Hollywood permit application, required documentation and engineering coordination.
4. Installation. Most Hollywood homes are completed in 2 to 3 weeks from signed contract, permits included.
5. Final inspection and wind mitigation report. Once the city inspection passes, we help you file the OIR-B1-1802 wind mitigation form so your insurer can apply the discount.
Common mistakes to avoid
Assuming a shutter is enough for insurance credit. Not all shutter types qualify for the same windstorm discount as certified impact windows — check with your insurer before assuming the savings are equal.
Comparing quotes without matching the product. A Mr. Glass quote and a PGT WinGuard quote aren’t the same product — confirm brand, glass package and whether permit coordination and installation are included before comparing price.
Waiting until hurricane season. Demand and permit review times both increase June through November — spring and early summer installs avoid the rush.
Frequently asked questions
How much do impact windows cost in Hollywood? Installed pricing depends on opening size, product series, glass, finish, site conditions, permitting and installation scope. Request a written project-specific estimate.
How long does installation take? Timeline, permit coordination and installation scope are confirmed in writing after product availability and project requirements are reviewed.
Is Hollywood in the HVHZ? Yes. Hollywood is in Broward County, which the Florida Building Code designates as High-Velocity Hurricane Zone — the same classification as Miami-Dade County. Every impact product installed needs a current Miami-Dade NOA or an HVHZ-listed Florida Product Approval.
Will impact windows lower my insurance in Hollywood? Yes. Florida Statute 627.0629 requires insurers to offer a windstorm discount once a wind mitigation inspection confirms impact-rated openings — typically 30 to 45 percent depending on your current coverage.
What’s the difference between PGT, ESW and Mr. Glass? PGT WinGuard is the premium standard with the broadest size range and warranty support. ESW offers strong performance at a mid-range price. Mr. Glass is the most budget-friendly option while still meeting full HVHZ requirements. Vieser Construction is an authorized installer for all three.

Why Hollywood homes need impact windows
Hollywood sits directly on the Atlantic, and every home from Hollywood Lakes to the beach blocks east of US-1 takes the full force of tropical storms coming ashore. The city is inside Florida's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ), which means any window or door you replace must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) — the strictest product approval in the country. Older neighborhoods like Hollywood Hills and Emerald Hills still have thousands of homes with original single-pane windows from the 1970s and 80s. Those are the houses that end up with plywood on every opening each June.
Impact windows solve that permanently: no shutters to hang, hurricane protection 24/7, plus everyday benefits — opening protection may qualify for insurer-specific wind-mitigation credits, depending on the carrier, policy and completed inspection, and laminated glass cuts street noise from Sheridan, Hollywood Blvd and the FEC tracks noticeably.
