AfterFast, Reliable Window Installation Across Lantana
Window installation in Lantana means dealing with salt air, pre-code CBS construction, and Palm Beach County’s wind-load requirements all at once. Most homes here were built between the 1950s and 1970s with aluminum jalousie or single-pane sliders that were never designed for today’s impact standards, and decades of Intracoastal humidity have done real damage to the frames and rough openings. Winslow Windows & Doors handles the full job: tear-out, rough-opening repair, code-compliant impact-rated installation, permit closeout, and the wind mitigation paperwork your insurer expects. Call (844) 901-4551 for a free in-home measure and a written quote with no trip charge inside our home county.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Lantana’s Preferred Window Installation Company
Ed Winslow founded this company in 2011, and he still runs it today. That’s not a marketing line; it’s the reason a Lantana homeowner can call (844) 901-4551 at any hour and reach a live person who actually knows what a fused-shut Intracoastal slider track looks like. We’re not a national chain that sub-contracts your job to whoever bids lowest. Our background-checked, uniformed technicians arrive in marked trucks, and the same crew that starts your Lantana window installation is the one that finishes it. Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our Miami office; the crews that serve Lantana work these streets every week, from Federal Highway east to the Intracoastal and west through the 33462 corridor.
Ed’s name is on the door, and on every job we do. The Done Right Promise means what it says: if the work isn’t done right, we make it right. Not for a year. Not for a decade. Period. That’s the standard that matters when you’re spending thousands on impact-rated windows that have to perform in a named storm.
Our Window Installation Services in Lantana
Every Lantana home is different, which is why we install a full range of window types and match each opening to the wind-load and design-pressure requirements of its specific location. Homes east of Federal Highway, closer to the Intracoastal, typically carry higher exposure ratings than homes west of I-95. Our Window Installation team evaluates each opening individually.
Single & Double Hung Windows
Single and double hung windows are the most common replacement we install in Lantana’s CBS ranch homes, especially along Lantana Road and the streets running off Hypoluxo Road. A double hung impact-rated unit from PGT or ES Windows gives you the classic vertical-slide look while meeting Palm Beach County’s wind-load requirements, and the laminated glass interlayer required for impact rating also cuts the road noise from Federal Highway. On a 1960s block home, this usually means a full tear-out of the original aluminum frame and rebuilding the rough opening before the new unit goes in.
Horizontal Roller Windows
Horizontal roller windows are the direct replacement for the old aluminum jalousie and single-pane sliders that dominate Lantana’s 1950s through 1970s housing stock. These units slide side to side, which fits the low, wide openings common in CBS construction. Salt corrosion on the old aluminum tracks is the number one reason Lantana homeowners call us about windows that won’t open, and in most cases the fix is a complete replacement, not a hardware swap. We size horizontal rollers to the existing rough opening whenever the block and mortar are sound enough to hold them.
3-Panel Sliding (3-Lite Roller) Windows
Three-panel sliders are a favorite on Lantana homes with larger openings facing a porch or the water. These units give you a wide, uninterrupted glass span with two moving panels and one fixed, and when you choose an impact-rated configuration from CGI or CWS, the entire assembly carries a Florida Product Approval number with design-pressure ratings matched to your street’s wind zone. We commonly install these on single-story CBS homes where the original builder framed for a picture window with jalousie side panels, a configuration we see throughout the 33462 zip code. Retrofit into these openings requires careful inspection of the header and sill because decades of salt-laden humidity can compromise the block and mortar around the original frame.
Casement Windows
Casement windows crank outward and seal tight when closed, which makes them one of the best-performing options for coastal wind-driven rain. On Lantana streets within two miles of the Atlantic, we recommend casements for kitchens and bathrooms where a small footprint and maximum sealing pressure matter. The crank hardware and multi-point locking mechanism create a tighter seal than any slider, which is exactly what you want when salt air is trying to work its way into every gap. We stock local parts for our Lantana customers, so maintenance and hardware replacement don’t mean waiting on a distribution center in another state.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lantana
We’re authorized installers for CGI, CWS, and ES Windows, three impact-rated window lines that carry Florida Product Approval and Miami-Dade NOA certifications. When a Lantana homeowner picks one of these brands, they’re getting a product engineered for coastal Florida, not a national generic with a hurricane sticker on the box. Because we install these lines every week in Palm Beach County, we keep the most common parts and hardware in local stock. That means a replacement sash or roller assembly for your Lantana home doesn’t require a four-week special order. We also service horizontal roller, single hung, and 3-panel slider configurations from these brands whether or not we did the original install. A neighbor you can call at 2 a.m., and someone will actually answer.
Common Window Installation Problems We See in Lantana Homes
Lantana’s specific combination of salt air, age, and construction type creates failure patterns we see over and over. Here’s what we find on a typical call:
- Fused-shut aluminum slider tracks: On blocks nearest the Intracoastal, aluminum tracks corrode into a solid mass of white oxide within 10 to 15 years. The window doesn’t need lubrication; it needs a full-frame tear-out and a new impact-rated unit.
- Compromised rough openings in CBS walls: Decade after decade of humidity and moisture intrusion eats away the block and mortar surrounding original frames. We routinely have to grind back to sound block and rebuild the rough opening before a new window can go in, which a cheap quote won’t include.
- Unreplaced jalousie windows voiding the wind mitigation credit: A single original jalousie window left in place anywhere in the structure can prevent the entire home from qualifying for Palm Beach County insurer wind mitigation discounts. Mixing compliant and non-compliant openings is a false economy.
- No permit on previous impact installs: We’ve seen impact windows installed in Lantana without a Palm Beach County permit, which leaves the homeowner with no documented design-pressure rating to show an insurer after the next named storm. Documentation is half the value of the job.
Pricing for Window Installation in Lantana, FL
Window installation pricing in Lantana runs in the same range as the rest of coastal Palm Beach County, but the condition of the existing rough openings and the wind-zone placement of your specific street move the final number. Plan on $900 to $1,800 per opening for an impact-rated single or double hung unit installed, including tear-out and basic rough-opening repair. Large openings, such as a 3-panel slider or a picture window with side panels, run $2,500 to $5,000 depending on design pressure requirements. Whole-home packages on a typical 1960s CBS ranch in Lantana land between $8,000 and $25,000, with the final number driven by opening count, wind zone, and how much block repair the original frames have left behind. Every quote is free, in writing, and line-itemed. Call (844) 901-4551 to schedule your free in-home measure. Upfront pricing. No surprises on the invoice.
What Window Installation Costs in Lantana
In Lantana specifically, expect impact-rated windows to run $800 to $1,500 per opening for standard sizes, with impact single-hung units at $900 to $1,800 installed. Large or custom openings, such as a wide three-panel slider facing the Intracoastal, run $2,500 to $5,000. For a whole-home package covering every opening on a typical 1950s to 1970s CBS ranch, budget $8,000 to $25,000 and up depending on wind zone and the condition of the rough openings. What moves the price in Lantana more than anything is the state of the block and mortar around the original frames. A home a block off the Intracoastal that’s had 60 years of salt-laden humidity working on its openings will need more grinding, rebuilding, and reframing than a home of the same age west of Federal Highway. Design pressure requirements also matter: an opening facing the water with a high exposure category requires a heavier, more expensive unit than a protected opening on the same house. Our free in-home measure and written quote cover all of this before you commit a dollar.
Florida Pays You Back
The incentive stack for Lantana homeowners replacing windows is real, and it’s worth understanding before you budget. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, including impact-rated windows and doors, for homeowners who qualify through the state’s application process. Florida also exempts sales tax on impact-resistant windows and doors, which takes a meaningful bite out of the upfront cost. At the federal level, the 25C energy credit returns 30% of the product cost on qualifying energy-efficient units, up to $600 per year. And on the insurance side, Palm Beach County homeowners who complete a wind-mitigation inspection (typically $75 to $150) and document impact-rated openings often see windstorm premium reductions averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy through the Florida Statute 627.0629 credit. Programs and carriers set the final numbers, so we’ll point you to the right paperwork and let your insurer confirm the exact amount.
Impact windows also beat hurricane shutters on the only metric that matters when a storm is 48 hours out: nobody has to remember to hang them. Shutters only work if they’re installed before the wind picks up, and they do nothing for the other 364 days of the year. Impact-rated windows are permanent protection with no panels to find in the garage, no tracks to maintain, and no annual re-installation ritual. For Lantana homeowners near the Intracoastal who already deal with fused-shut aluminum tracks, adding shutter hardware to the same salt-saturated environment creates one more thing to corrode. Impact windows close the loop. Impact-rated. Energy-certified. Done right the first time, or we come back.

FAQs — Window Installation in Lantana
The required design pressure rating depends on your exact address, the opening’s height above grade, and its placement on the structure relative to the prevailing wind exposure, but homes on Lantana’s Intracoastal side typically require ratings of +60/-65 or higher, and openings directly facing the water sometimes require +70/-80 or more depending on the Palm Beach County wind-load map. The specific number is determined by the Florida Building Code’s exposure categories and your home’s wind zone, and every unit we install in Lantana carries a Florida Product Approval number with design pressures matched to that opening’s requirement. A compliant quote will list the DP rating for every opening in writing, not just put “impact windows” on the invoice. Call (844) 901-4551 for a free in-home measure and we’ll pull the exact ratings for your address.
In most cases, yes, but only if every opening in the structure is impact-rated or protected, the work is permitted and closed out with Palm Beach County, and a licensed wind-mitigation inspection documents the upgrades. A single original jalousie window left in place can disqualify the entire home from the Florida Statute 627.0629 windstorm credit, because the credit applies to the structure’s overall wind resistance, not individual windows. The inspection itself typically costs $75 to $150, and many Lantana homeowners see windstorm premium reductions averaging around 25% after a completed, documented impact conversion. We handle the permit closeout and point you to a qualified inspector. Call (844) 901-4551 for an exact quote on your openings, estimates are free.
Lantana’s position directly on the Intracoastal Waterway, with the Atlantic less than two miles east, means year-round salt-laden humidity that accelerates aluminum oxidation far beyond what inland Palm Beach County towns experience. The original aluminum-frame sliders installed on Lantana’s 1950s through 1970s CBS homes were never designed for this environment, and their tracks and jambs corrode into a solid mass of white oxide within 10 to 15 years near the water. That’s why a “hard-to-open” window in Lantana is almost always a full-frame replacement, not a hardware repair. Call (844) 901-4551 for a free evaluation on any window that won’t slide.
A compliant Lantana window installation includes a Palm Beach County permit pulled before work starts, Florida Product Approval documentation with the design-pressure rating for each opening, an installation by a licensed contractor, and a passed final inspection documented with the county. The cheap quote leaves all of that out, or installs the windows without pulling a permit, which leaves you with no documented design-pressure rating to show your insurer after the next named storm. Without that paperwork, you’ve spent thousands on windows that count for nothing on your wind mitigation inspection. Our quotes include the permit, the closeout, and every piece of documentation your insurer will ask for. Call (844) 901-4551 for a written quote that shows everything.
No. For the Florida Statute 627.0629 windstorm credit and the Palm Beach County wind-mitigation discounts, every opening in the structure must meet the same documented protection standard. If you install impact-rated windows on most openings but leave a single original jalousie or single-pane aluminum slider in place, that one unrated opening voids the credit for the entire home. Insurers treat the building as a system, not a collection of individual windows. The right move on a Lantana CBS ranch is a whole-home conversion in one project, with a permit and a passed inspection backing every opening. Call (844) 901-4551 and we’ll walk the whole house and give you a single line-item quote for the complete job.
