We know Lantana’s housing stock block by block, from the Intracoastal-adjacent streets off East Ocean Avenue to the ranch-style neighborhoods stretching west toward I-95. The salt air here does things to aluminum window frames that inland towns never see. Ed Winslow built Impact Windows into the backbone of this company because Lantana homeowners deal with corrosion, code upgrades, and insurance paperwork all at once, on nearly every job.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Lantana’s Preferred Impact Windows Company
We have been answering the phone at 2 a.m. since 2011, and the person who picks up works for Ed Winslow, not a call center. Lantana homeowners tell us the same thing over and over: they got burned by an installer who quoted one number, then padded the invoice after the old window came out. Our pricing is upfront, line-itemed, and fixed before we pull a single screw. If it is not done right, the Done Right Promise says we come back and make it right. That is a standard of accountability written into every job.
Every technician who rolls up to a Lantana home is background-checked and in uniform, so you know exactly who is at your door before the truck parks. Ed’s name is on the door, and on every job we do. We publish our address and license number. No shell companies, no subcontractor roulette.
Calls are answered by a live person, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Lantana homeowners who call about a fused-shut slider on a Saturday morning get a real person, not a voicemail loop. That matters when you live two miles from the ocean and your window no longer opens.
Our Impact Windows Services in Lantana
Impact Window Retrofit for CBS Construction
Most Lantana homes are concrete block and stucco ranches built between the 1950s and 1970s. Retrofitting impact windows into these CBS openings is our bread and butter here. We inspect the rough opening for moisture-compromised block and mortar before we quote, because decades of South Florida humidity have usually done something behind those original aluminum frames. A retrofit into sound block is straightforward. A retrofit into crumbled mortar is a different job, and we tell you before you sign anything.
Full-Frame Replacement for Corroded Aluminum Sliders
On blocks nearest the Intracoastal Waterway, aluminum slider tracks corrode and fuse shut within 10 to 15 years of installation. Homeowners call thinking they need a repair. What they usually need is a complete tear-out and Door Installation in Lantana with full-frame impact units. We pull the old frame, inspect the opening, remediate any block damage, and install impact-rated units with proper flashing and a valid Florida Product Approval number.
Jalousie-to-Impact Conversions
Plenty of Lantana’s original jalousie windows are still out there, and they do almost nothing for wind protection, energy efficiency, or security. We convert jalousie openings to impact-rated single-hung or casement windows without rebuilding the wall around them. The key is the rough opening. CBS construction gives us solid anchors, but the opening itself often needs reframing at the jamb. We scope that before quoting, not after.
Wind Mitigation Documentation for Insurance Credits
Palm Beach County insurers offer meaningful premium discounts for documented impact-rated openings, and a wind mitigation inspection is the paper trail that unlocks them. We provide the documentation, the product approval numbers, and the installation detail your inspector needs to sign off. Homeowners in Lantana regularly see windstorm premium credits after a proper wind mitigation inspection, and we make sure the paperwork matches the work.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lantana
We are an authorized installer for CGI, CWS, and ECO Window Systems, and we stock common parts for Lantana customers who need fast turnaround on service and repair. These brands carry Miami-Dade NOA and Florida Product Approval numbers, which is what Palm Beach County’s wind-load requirements demand for coastal exposure in the 33462. Whether you want a PGT casement with a laminated glass interlayer or a CGI single-hung with a design pressure matched to your opening, we will spec the right unit for your exposure category, not just the one we have on the truck.
Common Impact Windows Problems We See in Lantana Homes
- Salt-fused slider tracks: Intracoastal-adjacent lots see aluminum tracks weld themselves shut from salt-air corrosion within a decade. A “hard-to-open” slider is usually a full-frame replacement, not a lube-and-adjust call.
- Rusted jalousie frames in unpermitted additions: Lantana’s older homes often have enclosed porches or detached garages that were never permitted. Hidden rot and rust around original jalousie frames expands scope once the old window comes out, and we flag it early.
- Failed sill pans on settled CBS ranches: Improperly flashed impact windows on older block homes with settled foundations lead to water intrusion at the jamb. We inspect the existing pan and flashing before quoting so you do not inherit someone else’s leak.
- Code-noncompliant openings: Pre-code homes routinely fail wind-load requirements for their exposure category. Retrofitting to impact-rated windows brings the opening up to current Palm Beach County code, and that upgrade is usually required before insurance credits apply.
Pricing for Impact Windows in Lantana, FL
Standard impact single-hung windows in Lantana run $900 to $1,800 per opening installed, depending on size, frame material, and design pressure required for your exposure category. Large or custom openings such as picture windows, arches, or Sliding Glass & Patio Doors in Lantana conversions run $2,500 to $5,000 each. Whole-home packages on a typical 1950s CBS ranch with 12 to 16 openings land between $8,000 and $25,000, and more when we find moisture-damaged block or need custom fabrication.
What moves the price here: opening count, wind zone, floor height, frame material, and how much salt-air damage we are fixing along the way. Impact Windows in Lantana are a long-term investment, and a free in-home measure and written quote is the only honest way to price your home. Call (844) 901-4551 and we will schedule it.

What Impact Windows Costs in Lantana
Impact windows generally cost $800 to $1,500 per window installed. Impact single-hung units run $900 to $1,800. Large or custom openings run $2,500 to $5,000. Whole-home packages run $8,000 to $25,000 or more. In Lantana, the biggest cost factors are opening count, wind zone, floor height, and frame material. CBS retrofits with sound block are the most predictable; jalousie conversions and corroded full-frame replacements push the number up because of the tear-out and possible masonry work.
Compare that to hurricane shutters, which run cheaper up front but require you to store panels, drag them out before a storm, and hope the tracks are not rusted when you need them. Impact windows are permanent protection: no panels, no prep, no panic at 10 p.m. when a watch gets upgraded. For most Lantana homeowners, the insurance savings and the resale value tip the math toward full impact replacement.
Call (844) 901-4551 for a free in-home measure and a written line-item quote. We price the job before we start, and we do not change it once the old window comes out.
Florida Pays You Back
Lantana homeowners have a stack of incentives available, and we will help you sort through them without promising numbers the state or your carrier has not guaranteed.

- Federal 25C energy credit: 30% of product cost, up to $600 per year on qualifying energy-efficient units. Talk to your tax preparer; we will provide the product documentation.
- Windstorm premium credits: Palm Beach County carriers commonly apply discounts on the windstorm portion of your premium after a wind mitigation inspection. Inspections run $75 to $150, and credits average around 25% on the windstorm portion.
No guarantees. Programs and carriers set final numbers. We will get you the right paperwork and the right product approval numbers.
The Lantana Acreage Reality: Permitting, Setbacks, and Open-Lot Scope
Lantana’s residential core is dense and established, but plenty of homes sit on larger lots, especially west of I-95 toward the agricultural boundary. If your home is outside city limits on county land, permitting for impact window replacement goes through Palm Beach County, not the Town of Lantana. That changes the timeline and the paperwork. Septic and well setbacks do not usually block a window retrofit, but they absolutely matter if you are adding openings or converting a garage. We pull the county permit, coordinate the inspection, and handle the documentation so you do not have to become a temporary code expert.
Open lots also mean longer material hauls and equipment access challenges. A crane is sometimes required for second-story windows that a ladder truck cannot reach over a detention swale or a fenceline. We scope access before we quote, because a surprise crane day is not the kind of surprise you want on an invoice. Outbuildings, shops, and detached ADUs are common on Lantana acreage, and each one needs the same storm protection as the main house if it is conditioned space. We quote those separately and line-item them.
Grading and drainage matter here too. Lantana sits low in places, with a high water table and poor surface drainage on certain lots. Improperly flashed impact windows on these sites lead to sill pan failures and water intrusion at the jamb, especially on older CBS ranches with settled block. We inspect the existing drainage profile around each opening before we order glass, and we flash accordingly.
We recently replaced corroded aluminum sliders in Lantana’s Moorings neighborhood, where the original tracks had fused shut after just 12 years. Our crew tore out the full frames, inspected the rough openings for moisture-compromised block, and installed PGT impact-rated casements with laminated glass interlayers. The homeowner’s wind mitigation inspection passed, and they now qualify for a Palm Beach County insurance premium discount.

FAQs — Impact Windows in Lantana
Yes. If your property sits outside Lantana town limits in unincorporated Palm Beach County, the permit comes from the county, not the town. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and pass it before we call the job done. Call (844) 901-4551 and we will verify which jurisdiction covers your address.
In most cases, yes. Palm Beach County insurers offer windstorm premium credits when a wind mitigation inspection documents impact-rated openings with proper product approval numbers. The inspection costs $75 to $150, and credits average around 25% on the windstorm portion of the premium. We provide the documentation your inspector needs. Call (844) 901-4551 for a free estimate and we will walk you through it.
It affects the frame more than the glass. Aluminum frames on Intracoastal-adjacent lots corrode and pit within a decade, so we recommend frames with protective coatings and we favor brands like CGI, CWS, and ECO Window Systems that carry Miami-Dade NOA product approvals for this exact coastal exposure. The glass interlayer matters for impact, but the frame coating is what survives Lantana’s salt air. Call (844) 901-4551 for a free assessment.
In most Lantana CBS homes, yes. Jalousie openings can be converted to impact-rated single-hung or casement windows without rebuilding the wall, but the rough opening usually needs reframing at the jamb. We inspect the block and mortar around every opening before we quote so the number you sign is the number you pay. Call (844) 901-4551 to schedule a free in-home measure.
A large-missile rating means the window passed impact testing with a 9-pound 2×4 fired at the glass, followed by cyclic wind pressure. Palm Beach County’s wind-load requirements generally demand large-missile ratings for windborne debris zones, and Lantana’s coastal exposure puts most openings in that category. We spec design pressures matched to your opening and your exposure category, and we verify against the product’s Florida Product Approval number. Call (844) 901-4551 for an exact quote for your home.
