Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Lantana’s Preferred Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Company
We’re not a franchise with a rotating cast of subs. Ed Winslow owns the company, answers the phone, and stands behind every door we hang in 33462. When a Lantana homeowner calls at 2 a.m. because a slider won’t lock, a live person picks up. Not a voicemail tree, not a call center in another state. That alone sets us apart from the big-box installers who hand you a ticket number and disappear.
Our technicians who work Lantana blocks from the Intracoastal west to the Lake Worth border are background-checked and uniformed. You’ll know who’s at your door before the truck pulls up. We’ve torn out enough fused-shut sliders on CBS ranches in this town to know that the “handyman fix” usually makes corrosion worse. We do the job correctly the first time, including the rough-opening inspection most Lantana homes need. If it’s not done right, Ed makes it right. That’s the Done Right Promise, and it’s not marketing copy. It’s the standard he’s worked under for over 15 years.
Our Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Services in Lantana
Our Sliding Glass & Patio Doors team handles everything from a single rolling panel replacement to full tear-outs on Intracoastal-front properties. Here’s what we do most often in Lantana:
Impact-Rated Sliding Glass Door Replacement
Most Lantana homes built between the 1950s and 1970s still carry their original single-pane aluminum sliders. Those units don’t meet Palm Beach County’s current wind-load codes, and they’re costing homeowners real money in insurance premiums. We replace them with impact-rated doors carrying a Florida Product Approval (FPA) number matched to the design pressure your specific opening requires. We handle the documentation so your wind mitigation inspection goes through cleanly.
Full-Frame Tear-Out and Rough-Opening Repair
Decades of south Florida humidity and moisture intrusion degrade the mortar and block surrounding original CBS slider frames. When we pull an old Lantana slider, we often find the jamb isn’t salvageable. We reframe and repair the rough opening before setting the new unit, which is the difference between a door that lasts 30 years and one that shifts within five.
Patio Door Glass and Panel Retrofit
If your existing frame is still structurally sound, we can often retrofit impact glass into it rather than replacing the entire assembly. That’s a meaningful cost difference on some Lantana homes. We’ll tell you honestly whether retrofit is appropriate for your opening or whether the frame corrosion from salt air means full replacement is the only correct call.
Wind-Mitigation Inspection Support
We don’t just install the door and leave. We prepare the documentation your wind mitigation inspector needs, including the Miami-Dade NOA or FPA number for the exact unit installed. For Lantana homeowners near the Intracoastal, this is often the single biggest financial lever in the whole project, because Palm Beach County insurers apply meaningful premium discounts for documented impact-rated openings.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lantana
We’re authorized installers for PGT, CGI, CWS, and ViewLux, among others. That matters because authorized status means we get correct factory components, current design-pressure documentation, and warranty support that a general handyman can’t access. For Lantana’s coastal exposure, we typically recommend PGT or CGI impact-rated sliders with laminated glass interlayers, because those lines have the large-missile ratings and FPA documentation the county and your insurer expect. We order direct from the manufacturer for every Lantana job, and we hold parts for the brands we install so service calls don’t stall waiting on a track roller or lock mechanism.
Common Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Problems We See in Lantana Homes
- Fused-shut tracks from salt-air corrosion. On blocks within a mile of the Intracoastal, aluminum slider tracks corrode and pit within 10 to 15 years. What starts as a “hard to open” complaint is usually full-frame corrosion that requires a tear-out, not a roller swap.
- Non-compliant single-pane units on pre-code CBS ranches. The 1950s to 1970s housing stock in Lantana predates Florida’s post-2001 impact requirements. In nearly every case, a sliding glass door replacement here is simultaneously a code-compliance upgrade.
- Moisture damage behind original slider frames. Decades of humidity and salt exposure degrade the block and mortar around the rough opening. We uncover hidden structural issues on a significant share of Lantana tear-outs, and we fix them before hanging the new door.
- Failed rollers and cracked thresholds on patio sliders. Salt-laden air accelerates pitting on door thresholds and sill pans far faster than inland towns. Replacing a threshold without addressing the frame corrosion behind it is throwing money away, which is why we inspect the full opening on every service call.
Pricing for Sliding Glass & Patio Doors in Lantana, FL
A standard 6-foot impact-rated sliding glass door in Lantana typically runs $3,800 to $7,500 installed. Larger multi-panel units or openings requiring significant structural repair can push to $10,000 or more. Your exact price depends on the door configuration, design pressure rating for the exposure, frame material, and what we find in the rough opening once the old unit comes out. We give you a written, line-item quote before ordering anything, and that price doesn’t change unless the scope changes. If a competitor has given you a written estimate, we’ll give you a free second opinion. $40 off any repair over $200, no trip charge within our home county, and a permanent 10% discount for seniors and veterans.

What Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Costs in Lantana
For planning purposes, here’s what we’re quoting on Lantana jobs in 2026. Standard 6-foot impact sliding glass doors run $3,800 to $7,500 installed. Larger 8-foot or 12-foot multi-panel configurations land between $6,000 and $12,000 depending on the design pressure rating and the condition of the opening. A full-frame tear-out with rough-opening repair adds $600 to $1,800 to the job versus a clean swap. Custom architectural units, including those with fiberglass or marine-grade stucco frames, start around $9,000 and run up from there. Custom fabrication in the manufacturer’s facility runs 4 to 6 weeks before the door ships, and your job is installed in as fast as a single day once your units arrive. The largest variables in Lantana are opening count, your home’s distance from the Intracoastal and associated wind zone, whether the existing frame can support a retrofit, and what the tear-out reveals inside the wall. We measure every opening and give you a fixed written quote before ordering. Call (844) 901-4551 to get a free in-home evaluation.
Florida Pays You Back
Lantana homeowners replacing sliding glass and patio doors have access to real financial incentives in 2026, and we help you document them properly. My Safe Florida Home offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades including impact-rated doors, subject to state funding cycles and income qualifications. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax at point of purchase, which adds up on a multi-door project. The federal 25C energy credit covers 30% of product cost on qualifying units up to $600 per year. And windstorm-premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of your premium are common after a wind mitigation inspection documents compliant openings. The inspection itself typically costs $75 to $150. We don’t guarantee what your insurer or the state will approve, but we do prepare the documentation correctly so you don’t leave money on the table.
One comparison worth making: impact-rated sliding glass doors versus hurricane shutters. Shutters protect glass during a storm, but you’re still hauling panels out of the garage at midnight and screwing them down while the wind picks up. Impact glass works permanently with zero action required, and it’s the only path to the insurance credits mentioned above. If you’re weighing both, call us and we’ll walk you through the numbers for your specific home.

FAQs — Sliding Glass & Patio Doors in Lantana
Salt-laden humidity off the Intracoastal and the Atlantic less than two miles east accelerates aluminum oxidation dramatically. Track rollers and jamb hardware on homes within a mile of the water often corrode beyond function within 10 to 15 years, versus 25 or 30 years further inland. That’s why we inspect the full frame before quoting any repair on a coastal Lantana block, and why we recommend impact-rated replacements with marine-grade finish hardware when hardware replacement alone won’t hold. Call (844) 901-4551 if your slider is getting stiff, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a repair or a replacement.
Your wind mitigation inspection documents that the sliding glass door carries a Florida Product Approval number with the design pressure rating for your exposure zone. Palm Beach County insurers apply premium credits based on that documentation. We provide the FPA or Miami-Dade NOA data for the exact unit we install, and we work directly with your inspector to make sure the paperwork is correct. On a 1960s CBS ranch in Lantana, this is very often the difference maker between a door replacement being an expense and an investment that pays back over time. Call (844) 901-4551 and we’ll explain the documentation path for your specific home.
First, we remove the old slider and inspect the rough opening for moisture damage and corrosion behind the frame. On Lantana’s older CBS homes, we frequently find the mortar and block surrounding the original frame has degraded from decades of humidity, and we repair that before setting anything. Then we measure for the new impact-rated unit matched to your required design pressure, order it with the correct FPA documentation, and install with proper flashing and sealant rated for coastal exposure. The tear-out phase takes most of the day, and the new unit is usually set the same day once it’s on site. For an exact scope and price on your opening, call (844) 901-4551.
Usually not on the pre-code aluminum sliders common in Lantana. The frames on those 1950s to 1970s units were never engineered for the weight or pressure loads of laminated impact glass, and they typically lack the structural channels required for proper anchoring. In some newer frames a glass-only retrofit is possible, but on a CBS ranch built before 2001, you’re almost always looking at complete door replacement to achieve code compliance and insurance credits. We’ll tell you which situation you’re in during the free estimate. Call (844) 901-4551 to schedule yours.
We’re authorized installers for PGT, CGI, CWS, and ViewLux, among eight total premium brands. For Lantana’s salt-air exposure zone, we most often quote PGT and CGI impact-rated sliders because of their large-missile ratings, laminated glass interlayers, and the depth of their Florida Product Approval documentation. We’d rather install the right unit for your specific exposure than push one brand for every home. Call (844) 901-4551 with your address and we’ll recommend the right configuration for your block and your insurance situation.
