We’ve installed more than 18,000 windows and doors across South Florida since 2012, every one governed by the Haven Standard. In Hollywood, we regularly see framing compromised by the combination of salt air infiltration and the seasonal humidity swings that run from March through November - one reason our Door Installation - Hollywood service begins with a full measured survey. That moisture cycling warps jambs, corrodes hardware, and creates the gaps that let conditioned air escape and storm wind pressurize your home. Our measured survey documents every millimeter of frame deflection, hardware wear, and sill drainage before we specify a replacement. You keep that document. The written quote matches it exactly - Haven Clause 1, Have it in writing.

Our crews are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by license number before arrival - Haven Clause 3, Verified Crews. Every completed job carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise and leaves a documented photo record. We’re independently owned and operated under the Haven Standard, not a franchise network.

What Our Door Installation Service Includes

Entry Doors

An entry door is the primary access point to your home, and in Hollywood it faces specific stresses: direct sun exposure on east and west elevations, salt-laden air within two miles of the coast, and the security requirements of urban residential density. For homeowners seeking Door Installation - Fort Lauderdale expertise, we apply the same rigorous assessment process. We measure the rough opening, assess the existing frame for rot or termite damage common in older Hollywood homes, and specify either a standard steel or fiberglass unit or an impact-rated upgrade depending on your exposure and code requirements. Our written quote includes the door slab, pre-hung frame, hardware, weatherstripping, and disposal of the existing unit - no line item hidden.

Hurricane-Proof Front & Entry Doors

Hurricane-proof front and entry doors are impact-rated assemblies tested to Miami-Dade and Broward County protocols, required in Hollywood’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. These aren’t standard doors with added hardware; they’re engineered systems with reinforced frames, laminated glass or solid impact cores, and multi-point locking mechanisms. We specify from our impact-rated manufacturer lines - PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows - based on your home’s exposure, the design pressure rating required for your specific address, and your aesthetic preference. Every impact door we install carries a Florida Product Approval number, and we pull the permit and schedule inspection as part of our standard scope.

French & Double Doors

French and double doors create wide openings between interior and exterior spaces, popular in Hollywood’s mid-century homes and recent renovations alike. The challenge is structural: these units span wider rough openings, require precise alignment of active and inactive panels, and depend on properly flashed sills to prevent the water intrusion we see regularly in Hollywood’s afternoon thunderstorms. We measure sightlines - the visible glass area when both panels are closed - and specify hardware that maintains that symmetry. Our installations include adjustable hinges, multi-point locks, and integrated drip caps. For coastal exposures, we recommend impact-rated French door systems from ECO Window Systems or ViewLux with laminated glass that meets HVHZ requirements.

Replacement Doors

Replacement door installation addresses the unit only, leaving the existing frame intact when it’s structurally sound. This is common in Hollywood homes built between 1985 and 2005 with aluminum frames that are cosmetically worn but dimensionally stable. We assess frame squareness with laser levels, check sill drainage paths for the clogging that salt and debris cause, and specify replacement slabs pre-hung to match the existing hinge locations. When the frame is compromised - and we document this with photos you receive - we recommend full-frame replacement with written justification. The measured survey shows you exactly what we found and why we recommended the scope we did.

Storm & Exterior Doors

Storm and exterior doors are secondary barriers mounted outside primary entry doors, common in Hollywood as added protection during hurricane season or as security screens in rental properties. We install aluminum storm doors with interchangeable glass and screen panels, as well as heavy-gauge security doors with stainless steel mesh. The critical detail is frame attachment: Hollywood’s wind exposure requires through-bolting to structural framing, not surface screws into trim. We specify the fastening pattern in our written scope and document it in the photo record. For homes near Young Circle or the eastern corridor, we often recommend impact-rated storm doors from Mr-Glass that eliminate the seasonal swap between glass and screen panels. We also provide Miami Gardens Door Installation with the same coastal-exposure expertise.

Brands We Service for Door Installation

We work with eight manufacturer lines, specified by what your opening requires, not by what we have in stock. For entry and patio doors, we regularly install PGT and CGI impact-rated systems - we’ve handled hundreds of their aluminum and vinyl frames across Hollywood and Pembroke Park, and we maintain direct relationships with their technical support for warranty claims and specification questions. ES Windows and ECO Window Systems provide our mid-tier and premium vinyl and aluminum options, with U-factors and SHGC values that meet or exceed Florida Energy Code for the cooling-dominated climate here. Therma-Tru supplies our fiberglass entry door slabs, prized for their resistance to the denting and corrosion that salt air causes on steel units; we’ve installed their Classic-Craft and Smooth-Star lines in homes from Hollywood Hills to Emerald Hills. Mr-Glass provides impact-rated glass inserts and full-lite door systems, and ViewLux covers our custom and oversized opening requirements.

Whether you have a Therma-Tru fiberglass unit that needs replacement, an ES Windows impact patio door requiring hardware adjustment, or any other make, we can help. Our technicians carry common hardware and weatherstripping for these lines, and we can source OEM components for warranty repairs. If you’re considering a new installation, we’ll specify the manufacturer based on your performance requirements, aesthetic preference, and budget - documented in the measured survey you keep.

Signs You Need Door Installation Right Now

• Visible daylight around the frame perimeter. Gaps between the door slab and jamb, or between the frame and rough opening, indicate seal failure. In Hollywood, these gaps admit humid outdoor air that forces your AC system to work harder and provide entry points for the tropical storms that arrive June through November. We measure gap width with feeler gauges and specify compression weatherstripping or frame reconstruction depending on severity.
• Difficulty latching or locking. A door that requires shoulder pressure to engage the strike plate has settled or warped, often from the moisture cycling that affects homes east of I-95. This isn’t just an operational issue; it’s a security risk. Misaligned multi-point locks on impact doors won’t engage their deadbolts properly, compromising both security and wind resistance. We diagnose latch alignment with plumb bobs and laser levels, then specify frame shimming or full replacement.
• Corroded or failed hardware. Salt air accelerates hardware corrosion throughout Hollywood, particularly within a mile of the Intracoastal. Pitted hinges, frozen deadbolts, and delaminated handles indicate material failure that compromises function and security. We specify marine-grade stainless or bronze hardware for coastal exposures, with finish warranties documented in our scope.
• Water staining at the sill or baseboard. Darkening at the door threshold or adjacent interior drywall indicates sill pan failure or improper flashing. Hollywood’s intense afternoon rain, combined with flat or negative grading common in older neighborhoods, funnels water against door openings. We inspect subfloor condition with moisture meters and specify pan replacement, sill reconstruction, or drainage improvement as needed.
• Single-pane glass or non-impact rated units in HVHZ. If your home was built before 1994 or has unpermitted additions, your doors may not meet current hurricane codes. Insurance discounts and resale requirements increasingly demand Florida Product Approval documentation. We identify non-compliant installations during survey and specify replacement with code-compliant, permitted, and inspected assemblies.

Our Door Installation Process - Step by Step

1. 1
   Measured survey and documentation. We arrive at your Hollywood home with digital calipers, laser levels, and moisture meters.

You receive this documented survey to keep - Haven Clause 1, Have it in writing.
2. 2
   Written scope and fixed pricing. The measured survey becomes the basis for our written quote.

The price on this document is the price on the final invoice - Haven Clause 5, No surprises. We do not begin work until you approve the scope in writing.
3. 3
   Permit application and scheduling. For impact-rated installations and most exterior door replacements in Hollywood, we pull the building permit and schedule required inspections.

You receive permit documentation for your records.
4. 4
   Installation by verified crews. Our technicians arrive in uniform, identified by license number, with the specified unit and hardware. Installation follows manufacturer specifications for fastening pattern, shimming, and sealant application. We use structural screws, not nails, for frame attachment; specify low-expansion foam or backer rod and sealant for air sealing; and verify operation and lock engagement before cleanup. Haven Clause 3, Verified Crews; Haven Clause 2, Arrive on schedule.
