Fast, Reliable Patio Door Installation Across Hollywood
Patio door installation in Hollywood, FL runs between $2,500 and $5,000 for most standard impact-rated sliders, and the full timeline from permit application to final inspection typically spans four to eight weeks. That’s the honest range before we measure your opening. If the door is a repair rather than a replacement, most track and roller fixes land between $180 and $450 in Hollywood. Call (817) 686-2228 and we’ll give you a written price before any work begins.

We work in Hollywood every week, from the 1950s ranch houses along Hollywood Boulevard to the newer concrete-block construction north of Stirling Road. Our crews know which homes sit in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone and which openings need a Miami-Dade NOA before the city will even look at the permit. That local knowledge saves Hollywood homeowners from buying a door the building department rejects. You’ll get the straight story, a fixed price on paper, and a crew that shows up when we say we will.
Why Meridian Windows & Doors Is Hollywood’s Preferred Patio Door Installation Company
Meridian Windows & Doors is part of the Garrison Partners family, held to The Garrison Standard since 2009. The name matters to us: a meridian is a fixed line you measure everything against, and that is how we run every install in Hollywood. Every job gets a written price first. Every job is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If the work fails within a year, we come back at no charge.
Elliot Vance leads our team. Homeowners in Hollywood call us because they have been burned before: a contractor quoted one number, then added change orders at the door. Our guarantee terms are simple and written down. The price goes on paper before a single screw turns, and it does not move. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, so you know exactly who is walking through your door. Phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, every day of the year, no voicemail loops.
We stock eight manufacturer lines: PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux. That means the right door gets spec’d for your Hollywood opening, not the one that happens to be in stock at a big-box store. If you need a large-missile impact door for a waterfront lot east of US-1, we spec it. If you need a standard low-E slider for a condominium off A1A, we spec that too.
Sliding Door Repair in Hollywood
Sliding door repair in Hollywood usually means one of three things: rollers that have worn out from years of salt air and use, a track that has corroded or bent, or a lock that no longer engages. Most Hollywood repairs run $180 to $450, depending on whether we are swapping rollers, straightening a track, or replacing hardware. We carry common replacement parts for PGT and CGI doors in our service vehicles, which keeps most Hollywood repair visits to a single trip.
Roller and Track Work
A sliding door that drags or sticks is almost always a roller problem. In Hollywood’s coastal humidity, the original steel rollers on older doors corrode. We replace worn roller assemblies, clean the track, and adjust the door so it moves with two fingers. If the track itself is bent or pitted, we can often straighten it in place rather than pull the whole frame.
Weather Sealing and Threshold Repair
Hollywood gets wind-driven rain during summer storms, and a failed threshold seal lets water wick into the subfloor. We replace worn wool pile, re-caulk the jamb, and re-flash the threshold when needed. If the sill pan is rotten, we will tell you before we touch it, with a written price for the repair.
Patio Door Replacement in Hollywood
Patio door replacement in Hollywood means pulling the old frame, inspecting the rough opening for rot, installing a new door that meets Miami-Dade or Florida Product Approval for your specific design pressure, and re-flashing everything so wind-driven rain stays outside. Most Hollywood replacements run $2,500 to $5,000 installed, depending on the door size, glass package, and wind-zone requirements. Custom fabrication typically runs four to six weeks, and the permit path adds one to two weeks on either end of that.
Impact-Rated Swapping
In the HVHZ, a replacement door is held to the same product-approval standard as new construction. We pull the NOA documentation for your exact configuration before we order a single unit. Then we present it with the permit application. This is the step generic installers skip, and it is the step that gets Hollywood homeowners a door the city rejects.
We recently replaced a failed 8-foot slider in a 1970s ranch off Hollywood Boulevard near Downtown Hollywood. The original aluminum track had corroded, and the laminated glass interlayer had begun to haze. Our tech swapped in a PGT impact-rated glazing unit with a large-missile rating and a low-E coating on a reinforced frame, then re-flashed the threshold to keep wind-driven rain out during summer storms. The homeowner’s wind mitigation report now credits the impact opening, and their insurer confirmed the windstorm credit under Florida Statute 627.0629.
Non-Impact Upgrades
If your Hollywood door is protected by a covered lanai or sits above the required wind zone, we can install a non-impact door that still meets Florida Product Approval. The savings run $800 to $1,200 compared to an impact unit. We will tell you plainly which path your opening qualifies for, and we will not sell you a door you don’t need.
Trusted Brands We Service in Hollywood
We install and service patio doors from PGT, CGI, and ViewLux, and we stock common replacement parts for all three in our Hollywood service runs. PGT dominates the Hollywood replacement market for a reason: their impact glazing units carry large-missile ratings and their NOA library covers most local openings. CGI is the step-up pick for waterfront homes where corrosion resistance matters. ViewLux is the choice for homeowners who want a cleaner sightline without sacrificing the pressure rating. We will spec the right one for your opening and explain why.

Common Patio Door Installation Problems We See in Hollywood Homes
- Unapproved doors failing permit review. Hollywood’s building department enforces Miami-Dade NOA and Florida Product Approval on replacements, not just new construction. A door purchased without the right product approval gets rejected at plan review, and the homeowner eats the cost.
- Rotted sills from wind-driven rain. Homes built before the 1990s often have sill pans that were barely flashed. When a slider is swapped without replacing that pan, rain bypasses the jamb and rots the subfloor within a few seasons.
- Mismatched glass packages. A new low-E impact door next to older single-pane windows looks inconsistent and can cost the wind-mitigation credit. We match SHGC and glass tint to the home’s existing openings so the whole elevation reads as one system.
- Salt-air corrosion on hardware. Homes within a mile of the Intracoastal eat standard steel rollers and hinges. We spec coastal-grade stainless hardware on Hollywood doors near the water, which adds $150 to $300 but triples the hardware’s service life.
Pricing for Patio Door Installation in Hollywood, FL
A standard impact-rated sliding patio door in Hollywood runs $2,500 to $4,200 installed. Large 8-foot or 12-foot multi-panel sliders run $4,000 to $5,000 or more, especially if the opening sits in the highest wind zone. Repair work is separate and cheaper: $180 to $450 for roller, track, and hardware fixes. The main cost drivers are opening size, required design pressure, frame material, and whether the glass package is clear or has a low-E coating.

What Patio Door Installation Costs in Hollywood
To put it in context with other impact work in Hollywood: impact windows generally run $800 to $1,500 per window installed, and impact single-hungs run $900 to $1,800. A patio door is priced higher because it is a larger opening with more engineering per square foot. Large or custom openings across Hollywood can run $2,500 to $5,000, and whole-home packages that include windows and patio doors typically run $8,000 to $25,000 or more. Your opening count, wind zone, floor height, and frame material all move the final number.
We recommend getting an in-home measure rather than a phone estimate. The measure lets us check the rough opening, the existing flashing, and the design-pressure requirement for your specific street. The quote is written and free. Call (817) 686-2228 and we will set it up.
Florida Pays You Back
Florida has real money on the table for Hollywood homeowners who install impact-rated patio doors and windows. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax, which saves about 6% to 7% on the product portion of a Hollywood job right away. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit covers 30% of the product cost on qualifying units, up to $600 per year. And after a wind-mitigation inspection ($75 to $150), many Hollywood homeowners see windstorm-premium credits averaging about 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy. Florida Statute 627.0629 requires insurers to offer these credits.
Program terms change, and your carrier sets the final numbers. We will tell you what your door qualifies for and let your insurer confirm the credit.

FAQs About Patio Door Installation in Hollywood
Yes. Hollywood’s building department requires a permit for every patio door replacement, even a same-size swap, because every opening must carry a Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval that matches its design pressure. We pull the permit and submit the product approval with our application. Call (817) 686-2228 and we will handle the paperwork.
Plan on four to eight weeks total: one to two weeks for permit approval, four to six weeks for custom fabrication, and one day for the install once units arrive. We are installed in as fast as a single day once your units arrive. After the install, the inspector signs off, usually within a few days. The timeline is set by the city and the manufacturer, not by us, so we will not promise a faster date than the permit path allows.
PGT is the workhorse of the Hollywood replacement market: large-missile-rated glazing, a deep NOA library, and readily available parts for future repairs. CGI leans toward waterfront and high-corrosion environments with thicker frames and marine-grade hardware. ES Windows is the premium pick, known for clean sightlines and precise fabrication. For most Hollywood homes, PGT hits the right balance of cost and performance. We will spec the door to your opening, not to our inventory. Call (817) 686-2228 for a written quote.
In most cases, yes, if the door is installed with proper product approval and your wind-mitigation inspection documents it. Florida Statute 627.0629 requires insurers to offer windstorm-premium credits for qualifying impact openings, and many Hollywood homeowners see around 25% off the windstorm portion of their premium. The credit is set by your carrier. Your 365-Day Done Right Promise from us is in writing regardless of what the insurer does.
Nothing, unless the opening itself changes. If we open the wall and find a rotted sill pan, a termite-damaged rough opening, or a design-pressure requirement that is higher than the original plan showed, we stop and give you a written change order before we do any extra work. The base quote does not move at the door. That is the whole point of our no-hassle upfront pricing, and it is written down on every Hollywood job.
Call (817) 686-2228 to schedule your free in-home measure and written estimate for patio door installation in Hollywood, FL. We will walk the opening, explain the permit path and product approval, and put the full price on paper before any work starts.
