AfterWindows & Doors in Lantana, FL
Window installation in Lantana typically runs $650-$1,400 per opening for standard vinyl or aluminum units, and $1,800-$3,200 for impact-rated replacements, with most full-home jobs measured and quoted in a single visit. The town’s dense concentration of 1950s-1970s CBS homes with original jalousie and single-pane aluminum windows means nearly every project starts with a full-frame tear-out rather than a sash swap. We dispatch crews from our South Florida office and coordinate scheduling locally; call (561) 461-2062 and a live person will pick up.
At Sightline, we have measured, priced, and installed windows and doors under the Haven Standard since 2012. Every job begins with a documented survey the customer keeps, and the written quote is the same document the crew works from. In Lantana, that matters more than most places, because the salt air, the wind-borne debris code, and the age of the housing stock make guesswork expensive.
Why Lantana Homes Are Different
Lantana sits on a narrow strip between the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean, less than a mile apart at most points. That geography creates one of the most aggressive salt-air corrosion environments in Palm Beach County. Standard aluminum window frames and door thresholds oxidize and seize here faster than they do even a few miles inland in suburban Boynton Beach. The hardware we specify for Lantana jobs is marine-grade by default, not upgraded as an option.
The housing stock compounds the problem. Lantana’s roughly two square miles are packed with post-WWII concrete block stucco homes built from the 1950s through the 1970s. A high share retain original louvered jalousie windows, hollow-core exterior doors, and steel frames that have never been upgraded. Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris region designation mandates impact-rated glazing on all replacement windows and doors, and county inspectors will not approve jalousie windows on any permitted project. The outcome is predictable: contractors working Lantana’s older streets can count on full-frame tear-outs almost every time one of these units shows up.
The modest working-class character of the town relative to neighboring communities also means deferred maintenance is common. Homeowners often call when a window no longer closes or a door frame has rotted through, not when they want a cosmetic upgrade. The job is usually replacement out of necessity, and the price needs to be named upfront.
Our Main Lantana Services
Most calls we field from Lantana fall into two categories: full window replacement for aging, non-compliant units, and impact-rated upgrades for storm protection and code compliance.
Window Replacement in Lantana
We replace original jalousie, single-pane aluminum, and failed vinyl windows throughout Lantana’s older neighborhoods, from the streets near Bicentennial Park to the blocks west of Dixie Highway. Every job starts with a measured survey that documents frame condition, wall thickness, and sightline clearances. The customer keeps that document; the crew works from it. Full-frame replacement is the norm here, not the exception. Window Replacement in Lantana
Impact Windows & Doors in Lantana
Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris region requires impact-rated glazing on all new and replacement openings. We install laminated impact glass and reinforced frames from PGT, CGI, and CWS, specified by performance tier and price range. In Lantana, where the Atlantic is visible from second-story windows, the question is not whether to go impact-rated but which product line meets the opening’s exposure and the customer’s budget.

Sliding & Patio Doors in Lantana
Original sliding glass doors in Lantana’s 1960s and 1970s ranch homes are typically single-pane, non-impact, and running on corroded aluminum tracks. We replace them with multi-panel impact-rated sliders or French door systems, measured to the existing rough opening. The salt air here destroys rollers and weatherstripping faster than inland locations, so hardware selection matters. Sliding & Patio Doors in Lantana

BeforeAfterWindow Installation in Lantana
Window installation in Lantana means full-frame replacement in concrete block walls, almost always with impact-rated units, because the town’s housing stock of 1950s-1970s CBS homes was built before Palm Beach County adopted its wind-borne debris code and before salt-air corrosion was understood as the destructive force it is here. Original jalousie and single-pane aluminum windows are non-compliant, corroded, and thermally useless; repair is not a viable path. We install Window Installation systems from PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems, specified by what the opening requires, not by what is in stock.
Single & Double Hung Windows
Signs you need it
The sashes no longer stay open, the balance springs are broken, or the aluminum frame is corroded through at the sill.
What it costs in Lantana
Standard vinyl single or double hung windows run $650-$1,200 per opening installed; impact-rated units range $1,800-$3,000 depending on size and exposure rating.
How we do it
We remove the existing frame to the block, install a new marine-grade aluminum or vinyl frame with integral nailing fin, flash to the stucco, and seal with backer rod and polyurethane sealant rated for salt-air exposure.
Horizontal Roller Windows
Signs you need it
The rollers have flat-spotted or seized, the sash tilts in the track, or the single-pane glass transmits heat and noise without resistance.
What it costs in Lantana
Horizontal roller windows typically cost $700-$1,400 for standard units and $1,900-$3,200 for impact-rated replacements with laminated glass and reinforced interlocks.
How we do it
We measure the rough opening to 1/8 inch, order the unit with the correct exposure rating for the wall’s wind-load zone, and install with compression anchors into the block and a sloped sill pan to drain wind-driven rain.
What Window Installation Costs in Lantana
| Item | Typical range in Lantana |
|---|---|
| Standard vinyl single/double hung | $650 - $1,200 |
| Impact-rated single/double hung | $1,800 - $3,000 |
| Impact-rated horizontal roller | $1,900 - $3,200 |
How long does a full-home window installation take in Lantana?
Most Lantana homes, 10-15 openings on a single-story CBS structure, take 2-3 days for installation after materials arrive. Two-story homes or jobs requiring stucco repair add a day. We schedule the measured survey, deliver the written quote, and only then order glass; no deposit is required to schedule. Call (561) 461-2062 for an exact timeline on your job - estimates are free.
Will my stucco be damaged during window installation?
Full-frame replacement in Lantana’s block construction requires cutting the stucco return at the frame perimeter; we repair and color-match the patch as part of the scope, documented in the written quote before work starts. The customer keeps the photo record of before, during, and after. Call (561) 461-2062 to schedule a survey and see exactly where cuts will fall.
Door Installation in Lantana
Door installation in Lantana means replacing hollow-core or corroded steel exterior doors in 1950s-1970s CBS homes with impact-rated, code-compliant systems, because Palm Beach County inspectors will not approve non-impact doors on any permitted replacement and the salt air here destroys standard hardware in three to five years. We install Door Installation systems from Therma-Tru, CGI, and PGT, with marine-grade thresholds and hardware specified for the exposure.
Entry Doors
Signs you need it
The steel skin is rusting through at the bottom, the jamb is soft from water intrusion, or the door no longer seals against wind-driven rain.
What it costs in Lantana
Standard fiberglass entry door installations run $1,200-$2,500; impact-rated systems with laminated glass sidelights range $2,800-$5,500 depending on size and hardware.
How we do it
We remove the existing unit to the rough opening, install a pre-hung impact-rated door with composite jamb and adjustable threshold, shim plumb in the block opening, and seal with backer rod and polyurethane.
Hurricane-Proof Front & Entry Doors
Signs you need it
You are replacing any exterior door in Lantana and Palm Beach County code requires impact-rated glazing and hardware for the wind-borne debris region.
What it costs in Lantana
Impact-rated front door systems with decorative glass inserts typically cost $3,200-$6,000 installed, with multi-point locking hardware and marine-grade thresholds.
How we do it
We specify the door and frame to the opening’s wind-load zone, pull the permit, install with structural anchors into the block, and schedule the county inspection; the customer receives the passed inspection card and photo record.
What Door Installation Costs in Lantana
| Item | Typical range in Lantana |
|---|---|
| Standard fiberglass entry door | $1,200 - $2,500 |
| Impact-rated entry door system | $2,800 - $5,500 |
| Impact-rated front door with decorative glass | $3,200 - $6,000 |
Do I need a permit to replace my front door in Lantana?
Yes. Palm Beach County requires a permit for all exterior door replacements in the wind-borne debris region, and the inspector will verify impact rating and proper installation. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and deliver the passed card to you. Call (561) 461-2062 and we will confirm whether your specific job needs a simple replacement permit or a full plan review.
Can I keep my existing sidelights with a new door?
If your sidelights are single-pane or non-impact, they must be replaced with laminated impact-rated units to pass inspection in Lantana; we measure and quote the full system, not piecemeal. The written scope shows exactly what stays and what goes. Call (561) 461-2062 for a measured survey.
Energy-Efficient Windows in Lantana
Energy-efficient windows in Lantana solve a specific problem: original single-pane aluminum and jalousie windows in the town’s 1950s-1970s homes transmit heat without resistance, and the cost of cooling a house with no thermal break shows up every month on the FPL bill. We install Energy-Efficient Windows with Low-E coatings, argon gas fill, and insulated laminated glass from ES Windows and ECO Window Systems, specified by U-factor and SHGC for south Florida’s cooling-dominated climate.
Low-E & Argon Gas Glass
Signs you need it
Your west- and south-facing rooms overheat by mid-afternoon, your AC runs continuously, or your single-pane windows radiate heat you can feel from three feet away.
What it costs in Lantana
Low-E argon-filled replacement windows typically add $80-$150 per opening over standard clear glass, with payback periods of 3-5 years in Lantana’s cooling climate.
How we do it
We specify the coating location and gas fill based on orientation and shading, order from the manufacturer’s performance tables, and verify the NFRC label matches the quote before installation.
ENERGY STAR Replacement Windows
Signs you need it
You want documented performance data, a product that qualifies for any available utility incentives, and a frame system tested for south Florida’s combination of heat, humidity, and salt air.
What it costs in Lantana
ENERGY STAR certified vinyl or aluminum window systems run $750-$1,500 for standard sizes and $2,000-$3,500 for impact-rated versions with insulated laminated glass.
How we do it
We match the ENERGY STAR climate zone requirements to your home’s orientation, document the U-factor and SHGC on the written quote, and install with proper air sealing to achieve the rated performance.
What Energy-Efficient Windows Costs in Lantana
| Item | Typical range in Lantana |
|---|---|
| Low-E/argon upgrade per opening | +$80 - $150 |
| ENERGY STAR standard window | $750 - $1,500 |
| ENERGY STAR impact-rated window | $2,000 - $3,500 |
Will energy-efficient windows actually lower my electric bill in Lantana?
Yes, measurably. Homes we have retrofitted in Lantana with Low-E argon impact windows typically see cooling load reductions of 15-25%, with the greatest improvement on west-facing walls that take afternoon sun. The NFRC-rated U-factor and SHGC are documented on your quote. Call (561) 461-2062 for a free estimate with projected performance data.
Do impact windows also qualify as energy-efficient?
Impact-rated laminated glass can be combined with Low-E coatings and argon fill; we specify this configuration for most Lantana jobs because it satisfies both the code requirement and the efficiency goal in one unit. The price is higher than either alone but lower than sequential replacements. Call (561) 461-2062 to see the numbers on your openings.
Impact Garage Doors in Lantana
Impact garage doors in Lantana are required by Palm Beach County code for any replacement in the wind-borne debris region, and the original thin-gauge steel or wood-panel doors in the town’s 1950s-1970s homes offer no wind-load resistance and no protection for the garage contents. We install Impact Garage Doors from Mr-Glass and ViewLux with reinforced tracks, heavy-duty hardware, and wind-load certification for the specific exposure.
Hurricane-Rated Garage Doors
Signs you need it
Your current door is unlabeled for wind load, the panels flex in a thunderstorm, or you have no documentation of impact rating for your insurance underwriter.
What it costs in Lantana
Hurricane-rated garage door systems typically run $2,200-$4,500 for a standard two-car opening, including reinforced track, heavy-duty torsion springs, and wind-load certification documentation.
How we do it
We measure the opening, specify the door and track system to the wind-load zone from the Florida Building Code, pull the permit, and install with proper bracing and anchor bolts into the header and jambs.
Wind-Load Code Compliance
Signs you need it
You are replacing any garage door in Lantana and need a permit, an inspection, and documentation that the assembly meets or exceeds the design pressure for your exposure category.
What it costs in Lantana
Code-compliant wind-load rated systems with permit and inspection included typically cost $2,500-$5,000 depending on door size, design pressure rating, and hardware specification.
How we do it
We calculate the design pressure from your home’s location and exposure, specify the door and track assembly from the manufacturer’s approved options, install, and schedule the county inspection; you receive the passed inspection card and photo record.
What Impact Garage Doors Costs in Lantana
| Item | Typical range in Lantana |
|---|---|
| Hurricane-rated garage door system | $2,200 - $4,500 |
| Wind-load code compliant with permit | $2,500 - $5,000 |
| Heavy-duty hardware upgrade | +$200 - $400 |
Do I need a permit to replace my garage door in Lantana?
Yes. Palm Beach County requires a permit for all garage door replacements to verify wind-load rating and proper installation; we pull the permit, install to code, and deliver the passed inspection. The documentation goes to you and your insurer if needed. Call (561) 461-2062 to schedule a survey and confirm your exposure rating.
Can I add windows to my impact garage door?
Yes, with impact-rated glass inserts specified by the door manufacturer and approved for the wind-load rating; standard glass voids the certification and will fail inspection. We quote the door with the correct insert package from the start. Call (561) 461-2062 for options and exact pricing.
Custom & Geometric Windows in Lantana
Custom and geometric windows in Lantana solve the problem of openings that were never standard: arched transoms over front doors, circular feature windows in 1960s ranch gables, and oversized sliders framing Intracoastal views in renovated homes. We install Custom & Geometric Windows from PGT, CGI, and CWS, measured to the existing rough opening or newly framed aperture, with impact rating maintained on every non-rectangular unit.
Geometric & Shaped Windows
Signs you need it
You have a circular, triangular, or trapezoidal opening that needs replacement, or you are framing a new architectural feature and need a unit that carries the same impact rating as the rest of the wall.
What it costs in Lantana
Geometric shaped windows typically run $1,500-$3,500 installed depending on complexity, with impact-rated laminated glass adding 40-60% over standard configurations.
How we do it
We field-measure with a digital template, submit to the manufacturer for engineering approval, and install with custom flashing kits designed for the specific geometry and exposure.
Arched & Curved Windows
Signs you need it
Your arched transom or Palladian window has failed seals, the curved frame is rotting, or you need to match a historic profile while meeting current impact code.
What it costs in Lantana
Arched and curved replacement windows typically cost $2,000-$4,500 installed, with radius-head frames and custom jamb extensions to match the existing stucco return.
How we do it
We remove the existing unit, field-verify the radius and springline, order from the manufacturer’s custom catalog with impact-rated glazing, and install with pre-formed arched flashing and integrated sill pan.
What Custom & Geometric Windows Costs in Lantana
| Item | Typical range in Lantana |
|---|---|
| Geometric shaped window | $1,500 - $3,500 |
| Impact-rated geometric window | $2,100 - $5,600 |
| Arched or curved replacement | $2,000 - $4,500 |
How long does a custom window order take in Lantana?
Custom geometric windows typically require 6-10 weeks from measured survey to delivery, with arched and curved units at the longer end due to engineering approval. We do not collect payment until materials arrive and installation is scheduled. Call (561) 461-2062 for current lead times on your specific geometry.
Can you match my existing stucco arch with a new window?
Yes. We field-measure the existing radius and springline, specify a replacement unit with matching jamb profile, and repair the stucco return as part of the installation scope, documented in the written quote. The photo record shows before, during, and after. Call (561) 461-2062 to schedule a survey.
