AfterFast, Reliable Window Replacement Across Lantana
Window replacement in Lantana runs $850-$2,900 per opening for full frame impact-rated units, and most jobs we schedule here are completed in a single visit. The salt air off the Intracoastal works on aluminum frames faster than people expect, so if your windows are binding, fogged, or leaking through the sills, it’s worth having a glazier look before the masonry starts to soften. We serve the entire Lantana footprint, from the 1950s CBS blocks near Lantana Road to the newer construction west of I-95. Call (754) 238-2201 and a live person answers. That’s been our rule since day one.
Here’s the thing about Lantana that shapes every quote we write: most homes here were built with jalousie windows set directly into concrete block, and those frames were never meant to carry an impact-rated unit. The work is more involved than a standard swap, and we’d rather tell you that on the phone than surprise you with a change order on install day. That’s the whole point of how we bid.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Lantana’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
We’ve spent enough time in Lantana’s 1950s and 1960s CBS neighborhoods to know what’s behind the stucco before we open it. The jalousie frames in these homes were cast directly into the block when the walls were poured. No buck, no wooden jamb, nothing standard. Converting those openings to code-compliant impact windows means masonry rework, and that changes the scope, the schedule, and the price. If a contractor quotes a Lantana jalousie-to-impact swap at a standard “insert window” rate, he hasn’t done many of them. We have.
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008, but the glass trade runs a generation deeper in his family. The rule on the whiteboard in our shop hasn’t changed in years of combined service: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. We register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. We state the durations on paper. And we back the whole thing with our Done Right Promise: if something isn’t right, we make it right. No paperwork fights, no arguing about whose fault it is.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. They measure every opening twice. They quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you can see exactly what you’re paying for. And when you call, a live person picks up. Not a voicemail tree, not a callback form. That matters when you’ve got a window that’s fogged between the panes and a hurricane season that doesn’t wait.
Our Window Replacement Services in Lantana
Full Frame Replacement
For most Lantana homes built before 1980, full frame replacement is the only path to a window that actually seals and performs. With a jalousie or early single-pane aluminum unit, there’s no existing frame worth saving. The glass is gone, the hardware is corroded, and the opening itself needs re-bucking before anything new can go in. A full frame replacement in a Lantana CBS wall typically runs $2,100-$3,400 per opening for impact-rated units, including masonry rework, flashing, and stucco repair. We quote it as one fixed line item, not a “starting at” number that moves after we open the wall.
Insert Window Replacement
If your Lantana home already has a modern window frame that’s square and structurally sound, an insert replacement keeps the existing frame and sets a new sash unit inside it. This works well for a handful of the newer homes off Lantana Road or west toward the turnpike, where original frames are less likely to be corroded or out of square. In Lantana, insert replacements for energy-efficient units run $850-$1,800 per opening. The catch is that many of the original aluminum frames we inspect in this town fail the squareness and corrosion test, which is why full frame ends up being the right call more often here than in inland communities.
Storm Window Replacement
Lantana sits inside Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris region, which means replacement windows and doors must be impact-resistant or protected by an approved secondary system. That’s not a preference; it’s the Florida Building Code. When someone in Lantana asks about storm window replacement, we’re usually talking about upgrading from original louvered glass (zero hurricane rating) to impact-rated casements, sliders, or single-hung units with laminated glass. Expect $1,200-$2,800 per opening depending on size and frame material. We’ll help you sort out which manufacturer line fits the opening and the budget before we ever touch a grinder.
Energy-Efficient Upgrade
The humidity in Lantana doesn’t just make you uncomfortable. It’s the reason seals fail early here. When a retrofitted insulated glass unit loses its edge seal, the argon fill escapes and humid coastal air gets between the panes. You get fog, condensation, and a U-factor that’s gone. An energy-efficient upgrade on a Lantana home typically means low-E glass with argon fill, a fusion-welded frame, and proper flashing and caulking before and after the unit seats. Homeowners report utility bill shifts of 12-22% after replacing original jalousies with code-compliant low-E units. The cost runs $950-$2,200 per window in Lantana depending on size and brand, and we’ll show you Andersen and ES Windows lines side by side on paper.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lantana
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for Lantana’s coastal conditions we tend to recommend the ones built for salt exposure and high wind load:, ES Windows come up often. The Andersen 100 Series with the composite Fibrex frame holds up better against salt air than raw aluminum. ES Windows both offer impact-rated glazing packages that meet Palm Beach County’s wind code. We quote these side by side on paper so you can see the difference in frame material, glazing, warranty duration, and price. When you call (754) 238-2201, we’ll walk through the options without pushing you toward the priciest line.
Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Lantana Homes
- Salt-air corrosion on original aluminum frames. The onshore wind off the Atlantic and the Intracoastal carries salt that eats through thin aluminum extrusions and fasteners. Sashes bind, jambs pull away from the block, and window hardware locks up years before an inland home would show the same wear.
- Jalousie frames cast directly into the CBS wall. These louvered windows have zero hurricane rating and no standard buck. The original frames were set into the block when the wall was poured, so pulling them means cutting and reshaping the masonry opening before any modern unit can seat.
- Failed seals on retrofitted insulated glass. Lantana’s humidity is the enemy of an edge seal. Once the seal fails on a low-E unit, the argon escapes, the pane fogs, and the window’s thermal performance drops to single-pane levels. This is a judgment call: sometimes a glass-only replacement works; other times the whole frame has been compromised by years of salt saturation.
- Water intrusion through original sill pans. The original sill pans in 1950s and 1960s Lantana homes were often just folded aluminum with no end dams. After decades of driving rain and salt exposure, they leak into the wall cavity. We replace the sill pan as part of any full frame job here, and we inspect it on every insert job.

FAQs - Window Replacement in Lantana
Because the original louvered frames were cast directly into the concrete block when the home was built, with no standard buck or wooden jamb. Modern impact-rated units are sized to fit a framed opening, not a raw masonry cavity, so the block has to be cut, reshaped, and re-bucked before the new window can seat and seal correctly. We typically spend the first couple of hours on a Lantana jalousie swap with a grinder and a hydraulic hammer. Missing that step means the new unit won’t be true, won’t seal, and won’t pass inspection. Call (754) 238-2201 if you want a straight answer about what your specific openings will require.
Lantana’s salt-laden onshore wind accelerates corrosion on aluminum extrusions, sill pans, and fasteners, often years faster than inland Palm Beach County homes experience. You’ll see the sash binding, the jamb pulling away from the block, white oxidation on the frame, and hardware that locks up. Once the aluminum is compromised, the whole frame is usually a loss. Our advice: if the windows are original to a pre-1980 Lantana home, plan on full frame replacement rather than trying to salvage what the salt has been eating for five decades.
Yes, the Florida Building Code allows either impact-rated glazing or an approved secondary protection system like rated shutters or panels. The practical issue is that most original jalousie openings in Lantana would need masonry rework either way, and the cost difference between a non-impact window plus shutters and a direct impact-rated unit often isn’t as wide as people expect. We’ll quote both paths for you on paper so you can see the real numbers side by side. Then you make the call with your eyes open.
That fog means the edge seal has failed and the argon fill has leaked out. The window’s insulating value is gone. In Lantana’s humidity, failed seals happen sooner than inland because the constant moisture load pushes on the seal year after year. Sometimes a glass-only replacement solves it. Other times the frame’s been compromised by years of salt exposure and the whole unit needs replacing. We’ll inspect the sash and give you a written recommendation and quote. Don’t wait too long: a fogged unit in a coastal wall lets moisture into the frame channel, and that accelerates the next problem. Call (754) 238-2201 for an honest assessment.
A full frame replacement removes the original frame down to the masonry opening and installs a completely new unit with new flashing, new sill pan, and new sealing. An insert replacement fits a new sash unit inside the existing frame, keeping the old frame in place. In Lantana’s 1950s and 1960s CBS stock, very few original frames are square and structurally sound enough for inserts. Most of what we see goes full frame, which also lets us correct decades of salt corrosion, water intrusion, and non-standard masonry openings in the same visit. We’ll tell you which applies to your home after we measure, and the quote will say so in writing.
