Since 2012, Sightline Windows & Doors has installed and replaced more than 18,000 windows and doors under the Haven Standard, every one with a written price before a tool was lifted and a documented photo record when the job finished. Hollywood presents specific conditions we measure for: the salt-air exposure within two miles of the Atlantic, the high-velocity hurricane zone requirements of Broward County, and the older block construction in neighborhoods like Emerald Hills where rough openings often deviate from modern standard sizes. We don’t estimate from a catalog. We measure your actual opening, note the frame condition, and specify the product by performance tier - not by what happens to be in a warehouse.

Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by license number before arrival - Haven Clause 3, Verified Crews. The person at your door is the person on the record. Live phone coverage is available 24/7, not a voicemail queue or callback window. Sonia Raman leads this operation independently, and the Haven Standard governs every installation the same way it has since the first opening in 2012.

What Our Window Installation Service Includes

Single & Double Hung Windows

Single hung windows have one operable sash, usually the bottom; double hung windows allow both sashes to move, which matters in Hollywood’s climate for ventilating upper floors without opening the full frame to afternoon storms. We see these most often in the ranch and mid-century homes between Young Circle and Hollywood Lakes, where original aluminum single hungs have reached the end of their service life. Our measured survey records the exact rough opening, the sill condition after decades of Florida humidity, and whether the replacement needs a flush fin for stucco or a nail fin for new construction. We specify from PGT, CGI, or CWS lines depending on the impact rating and energy performance your opening requires.

Horizontal Roller Windows

Horizontal rollers, or sliding windows, move along a track rather than lifting - an advantage in wide openings where a hung window would be too heavy to operate comfortably. They’re common in Hollywood’s 1970s and 1980s split-level homes, particularly in neighborhoods like Driftwood and Hollywood Hills, where builders favored wide, low profiles for cross-ventilation. Our installation process includes a plumb-and-level check of the track housing; even a 1/8-inch deflection will cause binding after two seasons of salt-air exposure. We specify ES Windows or ECO Window Systems for these applications when the customer wants a tighter U-factor, or PGT when full impact rating is required.

3-Panel Sliding (3-Lite Roller) Windows

3-Panel Sliding (3-Lite Roller) Windows use three sashes in a single frame, typically with two operable panels flanking a fixed center lite - a configuration that maximizes glass area and view while preserving ventilation. We install these frequently in Hollywood’s newer construction and renovation projects, particularly in homes backing onto golf courses or the Intracoastal Waterway where the sightline is the selling point. The Haven Standard requires us to document the structural header above these wide openings; a 3-lite unit at 96 inches or wider needs engineered support that many retrofit crews skip. Our written scope includes the header assessment, the specific glazing specification, and the installation method - pocket or full-frame - before any deposit is taken.

Casement Windows

Casement Windows hinge at the side and crank outward, catching breezes across the face of the glass rather than relying on pressure differentials like hung or slider units. In Hollywood, where the prevailing easterlies off the Atlantic can be harnessed for natural cooling, casements make sense for rooms that face east or southeast. We specify these from CGI or PGT when impact rating is required, and from ViewLux when the customer prioritizes sightline minimalism - the narrow frame profile that maximizes visible glass. Our measured survey notes the crank clearance for exterior shutters, a detail we catch because we’ve replaced casements in Hollywood’s historic districts where shutters are mandated by preservation guidelines.

Awning & Hopper Windows

Awning & Hopper Windows are operator types - awnings hinge at the top and open outward, hoppers hinge at the bottom and open inward. Both are operator types, not size categories, and we specify them for specific functional needs in Hollywood homes. Awnings work above fixed glass or doors where you want ventilation without rain intrusion - useful during Hollywood’s summer thunderstorms when you still need airflow. Hoppers serve basement and utility rooms where an outward-opening sash would conflict with wells or equipment. Our installation protocol includes a water-intrusion test after sealant cure; Haven Clause 4, Evidence on Every Job, requires photographic documentation of the sealant bead continuity before we sign off.

Picture & Fixed Windows

Picture windows are non-operable units designed for maximum glass area and sightline, with no sash hardware to interrupt the view. Fixed windows serve the same function but may be paired with operable units in combination assemblies. We install these in Hollywood homes where the architecture emphasizes the landscape - the canal-front properties in Harbor Islands, the golf-course homes in Hillcrest, the ocean-view condos along North Ocean Drive. The critical specification is the glazing: for fixed glass over 40 square feet, we require tempered or laminated glass per Florida Building Code, and we note the wind-load calculation for the specific exposure category. Our written quote includes the glass specification, the structural silicone or tape method, and the interior trim integration.

Bay & Bow Windows

Bay & Bow Windows project from the wall - bays in three planes with a fixed center and operable flanks, bows using four or more planes to create a curved projection. Both add interior space and light, but they stress the structural envelope differently than flat-wall replacements. In Hollywood’s older homes, particularly the 1950s and 1960s construction in neighborhoods like Hollywood Gardens, we find original bay units with rotted headboards and compromised flashing. Our measured survey assesses the roof structure above the projection, the sill pan integration, and the wall sheathing condition - items that determine whether a pocket replacement is possible or whether full-frame removal and reframing is required. We don’t quote until we know.

Garden Windows

Garden windows are mini-greenhouse projections, typically over kitchen sinks, with sloped glass tops and operable side vents. They’re less common in new Hollywood construction but appear frequently in renovations of 1980s and 1990s homes where homeowners want to preserve the feature. We source these as custom assemblies from ECO Window Systems or fabricate from PGT components when the original manufacturer is no longer in production. The critical detail is the top slope and weep system; a garden window that doesn’t drain to the exterior will rot the substructure within three years in Hollywood’s humidity. Our photo record includes the weep path verification before interior trim is installed.

Brands We Service for Window Installation

We specify from eight verified manufacturer lines, selected by what the opening requires - performance tier, impact rating, U-factor, SHGC, and sightline preference - not by what happens to be in a warehouse. For impact-rated installations in Hollywood’s high-velocity hurricane zone, we draw heavily from PGT and CGI, both Florida manufacturers with tested products for the 170 mph wind speeds Broward County requires. We’ve installed hundreds of PGT WinGuard and CGI Estate Collection units in Hollywood, and we maintain current specification sheets and installation manuals for every product line we carry. For customers prioritizing thermal performance over impact rating - typically interior replacements or second-story installations with protected exposure - we specify ES Windows or ECO Window Systems, whose vinyl-framed products achieve U-factors below 0.30 with dual-pane, low-E glazing.

We also work with Mr-Glass for custom laminated applications, Therma-Tru for door-lite integrations where windows and doors share a common frame, and ViewLux for minimal-sightline projects where the visible glass area must be maximized. Every brand we specify is documented in your written quote with the exact product series, the performance values, and the installation method. Whether you have PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru, or ViewLux - or any other manufacturer currently installed - we can assess, specify, and install to the Haven Standard. Bring us a competitor’s written estimate and we’ll review it at no charge; Haven Clause 1 means we put our price in writing before you decide.

Signs You Need Window Installation Right Now

• Visible frame deterioration or wood rot. Soft spots, discoloration, or crumbling material in the frame or sill indicate moisture intrusion that has compromised the structural integrity. In Hollywood’s climate, salt air accelerates corrosion in aluminum frames and fungal decay in wood, meaning a frame that looks merely weathered may already be structurally failed. We measure the frame deflection and document the moisture path before specifying replacement.
• Condensation between glass panes. Fogging or water droplets inside a dual-pane unit means the edge seal has failed and the insulating gas has escaped. The window is no longer providing thermal performance, and in Hollywood’s cooling-dominated climate, that failure shows up on your FPL bill. We test the seal failure extent and specify replacement IGUs or full units depending on frame condition.
• Difficulty operating sashes or hardware. Windows that stick, jam, or require force to open have typically suffered frame distortion, balance failure, or track corrosion. Beyond the inconvenience, inoperable windows are a life-safety issue during emergency egress. Our measured survey identifies whether the issue is sash, frame, or hardware, and we quote the specific repair or replacement scope.
• Drafts or temperature differential near the window. Air movement around closed sashes indicates seal failure, weatherstrip deterioration, or poor original installation. In Hollywood, where air conditioning runs eight months a year, every cubic foot of conditioned air lost to infiltration is measurable on your utility bill. We use a smoke pencil during survey to locate leak paths and specify the sealing or replacement solution.
• Visible glass damage or impact scars. Cracks, chips, or spider patterns compromise the structural performance of the lite and may violate the impact rating if the unit was originally specified for hurricane protection. Even small cracks propagate under thermal stress and wind flex. We assess whether the damage is limited to glass replacement or requires full unit replacement to maintain code compliance.

Our Window Installation Process - Step by Step

1. 1
   Measured survey and documentation. We arrive with a laser measure, moisture meter, and level to record your opening’s actual dimensions - not the nominal size from a plan. The survey notes frame condition, wall type, interior and exterior trim requirements, and any structural concerns. You keep a copy of this document; it becomes the basis of your written quote under Haven Clause 1.
2. 2
   Written quote with product specification. Within 24 hours of survey, you receive a written quote naming the exact manufacturer, series, and performance values for your installation. The quote includes the installation method, the trim integration, the permit requirement, and the total fixed price. This document cannot differ from the survey; that’s the Haven Standard.
3. 3
   Permit application and scheduling. For replacements requiring Broward County permit, we pull the permit and schedule inspection before work begins. Hollywood falls under the Broward County Building Code with Florida Building Code High-Velocity Hurricane Zone amendments; we know the specific product approval numbers and installation details the inspector will verify.
4. 4
   Installation by verified crew. Your installation team arrives uniformed, background-checked, and identified by license number - Haven Clause 3. The lead technician walks the scope with you before starting, confirms the product matches the written specification, and photographs the opening condition before demolition. Installation follows manufacturer specifications and Florida Building Code, with continuous sealant beads, proper shimming, and integrated flashing.
5. 5
   Evidence documentation and final walkthrough. After installation, we photograph the completed work, the sealant continuity, the operational hardware, and the trim integration. You receive the photo record and the written warranty documentation, including the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right. The final invoice matches the written quote - Haven Clause 5, No Surprises.
