Hollywood was founded in 1925 by visionary developer Joseph Wesley Young, who called it his "Dream City in Florida." Young purchased undeveloped pine forest and palmetto land, envisioning a wide boulevard from the Atlantic Ocean to the Everglades. On September 18, 1926, just one year after incorporation, a devastating hurricane slammed the city — claiming 37 lives, destroying buildings, and ending the Florida land boom overnight. Young personally led the Hollywood Relief Committee and rebuilt his Dream City from the ground up.

Post-WWII, Hollywood experienced explosive growth, becoming the second most populous city in Broward County and one of Florida's premier coastal destinations. Today, Hollywood's 153,067 residents enjoy 7 miles of Atlantic beach, the iconic Hollywood Beach Boardwalk, and direct access to both Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and Port Everglades — all within Broward County's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone.

⚠️ Risk Level: HVHZ Zone 1 — Extreme Risk | Direct Atlantic coastal exposure | Broward County mandates NOA-certified impact protection

🌪️ Last Major Storm: Hurricane Wilma — October 2005 | 105 MPH winds | Widespread damage across Hollywood

Hollywood's coastal position gives it the highest hurricane exposure in Broward County. The 1926 hurricane that destroyed the original Dream City set the pattern: coastal communities face storm surge, hurricane-force winds, and wind-driven rain that standard windows cannot withstand. In 2005, both Katrina (Category 1 direct hit) and Wilma struck Hollywood — glass failures, roof damage, and structural compromise affected thousands of homes without impact protection. In 2017, Irma's outer bands drove rain through every unprotected window gap in coastal Hollywood neighborhoods.

Impact Windows in Hollywood FL — Protecting South Broward's Coastal Dream City

Hollywood sits directly on the Atlantic coast with 7 miles of beaches and HVHZ Zone 1 exposure — the most demanding hurricane protection environment in the continental US. Doorliz has served Hollywood homeowners from our Davie headquarters at 4701 SW 45th St since 2001. We are minutes from every Hollywood neighborhood, we know every Broward County Building Department inspector by name, and we have never failed a final inspection in 25 years. Call (954) 466-5455.

Whether you're in a beachfront home on Hollywood Beach, a mid-century home in Hollywood Hills, a waterfront property in West Lake, or a family home near Sheridan Street — Doorliz delivers precision engineering and white-glove service. Zero subcontractors. Lifetime warranty on frames.

🔴 1. Coastal Hurricane Exposure — Hollywood sits directly on the Atlantic Ocean. Coastal properties face storm surge, direct Category hurricane winds, and salt-air corrosion that standard aluminum frames cannot resist. Only HVHZ-certified impact windows with marine-grade seals provide adequate protection.

🔴 2. Insurance Crisis for Coastal Homes — Hollywood beachfront and canal properties face the highest Citizens Insurance surcharges in Broward County — often 50–75% above base premium. Without NOA-certified impact protection, annual premiums on coastal Hollywood homes can exceed $12,000–18,000.

🔴 3. HVHZ Code Compliance — Hollywood's strict coastal building code requires NOA-certified products and licensed contractors for every window installation. Unlicensed work risks stop-work orders, forced removal, and doubled costs. Doorliz (FL #13BS00177) has a perfect Broward record.
