Single & Double Hung Windows in Hollywood, FL

Window Installation Near Me in Hollywood, FL for single and double hung windows runs $320-$950 per window installed, depending on frame material, glass package, and whether the opening needs structural modification. Most single-family homes in Hollywood can have a full replacement completed in one day, with a written price in hand before the first measurement is marked on a frame.

At Sightline Windows & Doors Hollywood, single and double hung windows account for a substantial share of the 18,000+ openings we’ve documented since 2012 – and for good reason. They’re the most common window configuration in Broward County residential construction, and when they fail, they fail in predictable ways that an experienced crew can assess, quote, and correct without surprises. Every engagement we take follows the Haven Standard: the measured survey we give you and the final invoice are the same document. The price written at survey cannot differ from the price on the invoice. That’s Haven Clause 1, and it’s not a promotion – it’s how we’ve operated since our founding.

If you want a written price before anyone touches your home, call us at (754) 714-7309. Our phones are answered by a live person, not a voicemail queue. You can also learn about the full scope of our Window Installation in Hollywood services if you’re comparing window types or planning a larger project.

When You Need Single & Double Hung Windows

• Your sashes stick, grind, or won’t stay open. In Hollywood’s humid, salt-adjacent climate, wood frames swell and vinyl tracks degrade faster than in inland markets. A sash that won’t hold position isn’t just inconvenient – it blocks ventilation and strains the balance springs until they snap.
• Visible rot or frame deformation at the sill. Hollywood sits at roughly four feet above sea level, and ground-floor windows in neighborhoods like Emerald Hills and West Lake see persistent moisture wicking up from grade. Soft sill corners and bubbling paint are the first sign that the frame – not just the glass – needs replacing.
• Fogging or condensation trapped between panes. Failed insulated glazing units (IGUs) lose their argon fill and show clouding that no cleaning will fix. This is a glass-unit failure, not a cleaning problem, and it tells you the seal has been breached.
• Single-pane glass in a home built before 1995. Single-pane windows carry a U-factor (the measure of heat transfer) typically above 1.0. Florida Energy Code now targets 0.40 or below for most residential openings. Older Hollywood homes near Dania Beach Boulevard and the Arts District commonly still have original aluminum single-pane units that are bleeding conditioned air year-round.
• No impact rating in a wind-borne debris zone. Most of Hollywood, FL falls within the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ). Non-impact windows in these zones are a code compliance issue on any permitted renovation and a documented liability after a storm. A double hung window can be specified in an impact-rated configuration using laminated glass and a reinforced frame – same operating style, fully code-compliant.
• Water intrusion at the frame corners after heavy rain. If you see water staining on the interior drywall below a window after a hard afternoon storm – which Hollywood gets reliably from June through October – the frame-to-rough-opening seal has likely failed. This is a full-replacement scenario, not a caulk job.

Our Single & Double Hung Windows Process

1. Measured Survey – the document you keep. A uniformed, background-checked Sightline technician arrives at the scheduled time and measures every rough opening to be replaced. Sightline measurements are taken to the nearest 1/8 inch. The survey sheet records frame condition, glass type, glazing rebate depth, and any structural concerns at header or sill. You receive a copy of this document before anyone leaves. This is Haven Clause 1 in practice: the survey and the quote are one document.
2. Written Scope and Price – before any work is authorized. Based on the measured survey, we specify the product line (ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, or another manufacturer matched to your performance tier and budget), the glass package (clear, Low-E, or impact-laminated), and the labor scope. The total is written line by line. If structural modification to a rough opening is needed, that cost appears on the same sheet – not as a change order after the fact.
3. Product Ordering and Permit Pulling. In Hollywood, FL, window replacement permits are required when the scope constitutes a structural or impact-rating change. We handle permit applications through the City of Hollywood Building Division and coordinate the required inspection schedule. Windows are ordered directly from the manufacturer against your survey dimensions. We do not carry a pre-stocked warehouse that shapes what we can sell you.
4. Installation Day. The crew removes the existing window unit, inspects the rough opening framing for rot or moisture damage (and documents it with photographs if found), sets the new frame, shims and levels to sightline, applies low-expansion foam at the perimeter, and installs interior and exterior trim. For HVHZ-compliant impact units, the crew verifies the frame anchor pattern against the Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) specification before glazing. Each opening is tested for operation and checked for air infiltration before the crew moves to the next unit.
5. Documented Photo Record – Haven Clause 4. Every completed opening is photographed: the rough framing before installation, the set frame during installation, and the finished unit from interior and exterior. These photos are part of your job record and available to you on request. This is not an upsell or a premium option – it’s part of the Haven Standard on every job.
6. Walk-Through and 365-Day Done Right Promise. Before we leave, we walk through every replaced opening with you, demonstrate sash operation, confirm lock engagement, and review the manufacturer warranty terms. The 365-Day Done Right Promise – if it’s not done right, we make it right – is stamped on your written job record, not offered verbally in a handshake.

Single & Double Hung Windows Pricing in Hollywood

Single and double hung window replacement in Hollywood typically falls between $320 and $950 per window, fully installed. That range is wide because the variables that drive cost in this market are real – not invented to pad an estimate. Here’s how we break it down:

What moves the number within each range: glass package (clear vs. Low-E vs. impact-laminated), frame depth relative to the existing wall thickness, the condition of the rough opening framing, and whether a permit-required inspection is included in scope. In Hollywood’s older neighborhoods – Liberia, Orangebrook, Driftwood – rough openings frequently have non-standard dimensions from original construction, which adds labor time at the survey stage rather than at the invoice stage, because we measure first.

A note on impact glass pricing: the HVHZ designation that covers most of Hollywood means non-impact windows cannot legally be installed on a pulled permit in most configurations. If you’re comparing quotes and one is significantly lower, ask whether it includes an impact-rated unit. A non-impact quote in a compliant opening isn’t a bargain – it’s a permit problem waiting to happen.

Every price we name starts with the written measured survey. Call (754) 714-7309 to schedule yours – there’s no charge for the survey, and the price it produces is the price on the invoice.

Why Sightline for Single & Double Hung Windows in Hollywood

Sonia Raman leads Sightline Windows & Doors with a straightforward position: the measurement and the quote are the same document, and the job isn’t done until the photo record is filed. That’s not a value proposition developed in a marketing meeting – it’s the operating structure of a company that has handled 18,000+ openings and learned that the only disputes that happen are the ones where someone didn’t have something in writing.

For single and double hung windows specifically, that discipline matters more than it might seem. Hung window replacements look simple – sash out, new unit in – but the failure modes cluster around what happens at the rough opening after the old frame is pulled. Rotted king studs, out-of-square headers, failed sill pans: these are the surprises that other contractors discover after the job is authorized and then address with a change order. Our survey process documents rough opening condition before the quote is finalized, which means the number you approve reflects what we actually found.

During Window Installation, we specify windows from manufacturer lines including ES Windows and ECO Window Systems, both of which carry Miami-Dade NOA listings for HVHZ applications. Product selection is driven by the performance requirements of your opening – U-factor targets, SHGC (solar heat gain coefficient) values relevant to your exposure, and structural requirements at the frame – not by what we happen to have in a warehouse.

Our technicians are uniformed and background-checked, identified by license number before arrival under Haven Clause 3. If you’ve received a written estimate from another contractor, bring it to us. We offer a free second opinion on any written estimate – no charge, no obligation, and no sales pressure attached.

FAQs – Single & Double Hung Windows in Hollywood, FL

What’s the difference between a single hung and a double hung window, and which should I choose in Hollywood?

A single hung window has one movable sash – the bottom one – while the top sash is fixed. A double hung window allows both sashes to slide, which makes cleaning the exterior glass from inside the home significantly easier. In Hollywood’s multi-story homes and second-floor bedrooms, Awning & Hopper Windows aside, double hung units are the more practical choice for that reason alone. Single hung units cost roughly $80-$130 less per opening and perform identically in terms of energy efficiency and impact rating, so the decision comes down to whether tilt-in cleaning access matters for your application. We’ll note which configuration suits each opening during the measured survey. Call (754) 714-7309 for a free written estimate.

Do I need a permit to replace windows in Hollywood, FL?

Yes, in most cases. The City of Hollywood requires a building permit for window replacement when the scope involves a change in glazing type (such as switching to impact-rated glass), a change in opening size, or any structural modification. Like-for-like replacements in the same rough opening using the same frame dimensions may qualify for a simpler process, but given that most of Hollywood falls in the HVHZ, the upgrade to impact-rated units – which does require a permit and inspection – is almost always the right call. We pull the permit as part of our written scope. You don’t manage that separately. Call (754) 714-7309 if you want clarification on what your specific situation requires.

How long does it take to replace single or double hung windows in Hollywood?

A standard single-family home with six to ten windows can typically be completed in one full day. Larger projects, homes with non-standard rough opening dimensions (which we see regularly in older Hollywood neighborhoods like Oakridge and Silver Lakes), or jobs requiring structural modification at a header or sill may extend to a second day. We set the schedule at the time of the written scope – not as an approximation given verbally. The timeline is on the document you keep. Call (754) 714-7309 to get your survey scheduled.

Can I get an impact-rated double hung window that still looks like a standard window?

Yes. Impact-rated double hung windows use laminated glass – two plies of glass bonded to an interlayer – rather than a secondary shutter system, so the profile is nearly identical to a standard unit from the interior. Manufacturers including ES Windows and ECO Window Systems produce double hung impact units and 3-Panel Sliding (3-Lite Roller) Windows with slim-profile frames that maintain the look of a conventional window while meeting Miami-Dade NOA requirements for HVHZ installation. The glass does have a slightly different light quality than non-laminated glass – a trained eye will notice a mild tint on some Low-E impact packages – but it’s not a significant visual change in practice. We can bring samples to your measured survey if appearance is a priority. Call (754) 714-7309 to arrange it.
