Six made-to-size impact window styles, so a 1920s house with casements or a 1950s house with sliders keeps its window type.
A fixed top sash over a bottom sash that slides up. The classic, simple style for most rooms.
Two or three side-by-side panels that slide on a track. Removable panels make cleaning the tracks easier.
Side-hinged windows that open outward with a handle and close tight against a multi-point lock for security.
Hinged along the top and opened with a handle, with the screen on the inside. Pairs well with a fixed window.
A non-operating window with a large frame for light and wide views, sized to match nearby operating windows.
Arches, circles, ovals, half-rounds and trapezoids, used alone or paired with casement or awning windows for matching sightlines.
Hollywood’s 2005 historic design guidelines show how much the city’s windows differ by era. Mediterranean Revival homes usually have casements and arched openings, Mission homes casement or sash, and Vernacular homes double-hung wood sash placed for cross-ventilation. Streamline buildings use rectangular metal casements in horizontal bands, with windows often wrapping around corners, and post-war ranch houses have rectangular aluminum sliding windows.
So we start from the house, reading its era and original window type before suggesting a style. Neither the city’s 2005 guidelines nor its newer Historic Preservation Guide mentions impact glass, so in a historic district the new window follows the original type and keeps its opening, with each ES unit made to size.

What South Florida homeowners say about working with our team.
Hollywood’s Sea Turtle Ordinance, City Code Chapter 108, limits tinted or filmed glass to 45 percent or less visible light transmittance, measured inside to outside. The city’s window checklist applies it to openings facing east, north or south on the Coastal Construction Control Line. Clear laminated glass does not qualify, and only some tinted or Low-E makeups do.
The code also reaches the Hollywood Beach Historic Overlay District, where existing buildings comply as far as life and public safety allow. For existing windows, tint or film is one of four ways to meet its interior-light rule, with blinds, moving lamps or switching lights off, so qualifying glass works without closing blinds through nesting season.
In historic homes, the city’s 2005 guidelines recommend repairing original windows first and, if new ones are necessary, duplicating them in compatible materials and style, without enlarging or reducing openings to fit stock windows. A made-to-size ES unit keeps the original opening, and its style follows the house.
A 1920s Hollywood house with casements, a 1950s house with sliders and a beach condo unit can each need a different ES line, since not every series offers every style. We sell ES Windows only. Permit steps, the Notice of Commencement and the turtle-glass letter for beach openings are on our Hollywood permit page, and every window job here is permitted.
Built for single-family homes and rated for large and small missile impact in South Florida’s hurricane zone. Heat-strengthened glass and corrosion-resistant hardware come standard, with frames for concrete or wood construction.
Developed for multi-family buildings, with laminated glass by Tecnoglass, clear or gray glass and coastal hardware as standard, and Solarban 70 Low-E glass for energy efficiency. Finishes come in white or bronze.
The premium line, with narrow sightlines, thermally broken aluminum, insulating glass and coastal hardware as standard. Two-tone finishes and custom colors are available for a custom look.
Vinyl frames for homeowners who want low maintenance, sound insulation and energy efficiency, with large-missile impact rating capabilities. Ask whether vinyl meets the rating each opening needs.
Hollywood’s window jobs run from our office next door in Hallandale Beach, which also covers Fort Lauderdale, Miami Beach and the rest of Broward and Miami-Dade.
Somewhat, by design. Glass that meets Hollywood’s turtle rule lets through 45 percent or less of visible light. On the ES and Tecnoglass turtle flyer, clear laminated glass, even with a Solarban 70 coating, lets through more and does not qualify, while some gray, bronze and reflective makeups do. Ask to see samples side by side before you choose.
Start from the windows it was built with. For the arched casement openings the city’s guidelines describe on Mediterranean Revival homes, casement and architectural shape units can follow the original. For a Vernacular house’s double-hung sash, a single-hung unit keeps a two-sash look. Each unit is made to the existing opening.
Yes, and it can suit the house. The city’s 2005 guidelines describe post-war ranch homes with aluminum windows and rectangular sliding windows, so a horizontal roller impact window follows the original design. Mid-century homes with large glass areas may suit fixed picture units paired with operable windows.
Not if the windows keep their size and location. The city’s Historic Preservation Guide lists window and door replacement with no change in size or location as staff review at permitting, without the board. Changing an opening goes to historic review, and the guide does not say whether a new frame material or tinted glass counts as a change, so no outcome is promised.
ES developed Multimax for multi-family buildings, with Tecnoglass laminated glass and coastal hardware as standard, in white or bronze. If the association allows other colors, ES Prestige adds narrow sightlines and two-tone or custom finishes. Either way, the association may set the product and finish, so bring its rules to the estimate.
Yes. The estimate is free and there is no obligation. Financing may be available for qualified homeowners through independent third-party providers, including PACE financing where a local program covers your property. For an opening near the beach, ask to compare clear and tinted glass at the estimate.
