AfterFast, Reliable Window Installation Across Lantana
Window installation in Lantana runs $900-$3,400 per opening for standard impact-rated vinyl or aluminum units, with full-home replacements on 1950s-60s CBS houses typically landing between $14,000 and $38,000 depending on how many jalousie openings need masonry rework. Most jobs in town require cutting, re-bucking, and patching concrete block before the new window can even be test-fit, because the original louvered frames were cast directly into the wall. That is the reality of Lantana housing stock, and it is why a quote from someone who has never worked here misses half the labor. Our Window Installation team knows exactly what is behind those jalousies before we give you a number. Call (754) 238-2201 for a free estimate from someone who has done this work in Lantana more times than we can count.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Lantana’s Preferred Window Installation Company
We have been replacing windows in Lantana long enough to know that every W Pine Street jalousie and every Lantana Road CBS split-level hides something slightly different behind the stucco. Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 after four decades of watching out-of-true installs and voided warranties become other people’s expensive problems. Our crews include apprentices we trained into journeymen ourselves, and the same people who quote your job are the ones who show up to do it, background-checked and in uniform.
What Lantana homeowners tell us matters most is that we answer the phone. A live person picks up 24 hours a day, seven days a week, not a voicemail tree or a regional call center in another state. When you call about a window on a house off Ocean Avenue or over in the Hypoluxo Island area, you get a person who knows where that is. Our technicians measure every opening twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. That last part is The Keystone Standard, and it is not negotiable on any job we do in Lantana.
Our Window Installation Services in Lantana
Casement Windows
Casement windows are the most common impact-rated replacement we install in Lantana, and for good reason. Their multi-point locking hardware and full-perimeter compression seal hold up under the salt-laden onshore winds that sweep across the Intracoastal. A typical impact-rated casement in Lantana runs $1,100-$2,600 per opening installed, including the masonry work to re-buck a jalousie rough opening. Most Lantana homes we work on need at least some concrete cutting and patching before the new unit goes in, even if the original jalousie looked like it was sitting square.
Single & Double Hung Windows
Single and double hung windows in Lantana run $950-$2,400 per opening for impact-rated units, with double hungs carrying a modest premium for the added operable sash and heavier balance hardware. These are a workhorse choice for the ranch and split-level CBS homes that dominate Lantana’s residential streets, but they require a true, square buck to operate smoothly for decades. If the original opening was cast for a jalousie, our crew reshapes the masonry first, then flashes and seals so the new hung unit does not bind in July or leak in the rainy season.
Awning Windows
Awning windows in Lantana cost $1,000-$2,500 per opening installed, and they are a practical choice for the original kitchen, bath, and utility openings we see in 1950s and 60s CBS homes. Because the sash hinges from the top and seals tight against the frame when closed, they handle coastal humidity and salt air better than a sloppy hung unit ever will. We install them in place of old jalousies and fixed aluminum sashes all over Lantana, including homes along the Lantana Road corridor and the side streets running east toward the water.
Fixed & Picture Windows
Picture windows in Lantana run $850-$2,200 per opening for impact-rated fixed units with low-E, argon-filled glass. They are often the centerpiece of a living room facing the water or a rear patio, and they are also the simplest opening to convert from jalousie because there is no operating hardware to align. The catch is that fixed impact glass is heavy, and the masonry opening still needs to be reshaped and re-bucked properly or the window will sit proud of the wall and leak around the flange. We do this work carefully, and we inspect every opening before we quote so the price you get is the price you pay.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lantana
We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and we quote, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems side by side on paper so you can see exactly what you are buying. Lantana homeowners often ask us for Andersen replacement sashes on older homes and ES Windows for impact-rated casements near the water, since both lines hold up well in the salt-air zone. We stock common hardware, fasteners, and sealant for these brands locally, which means fewer follow-up visits and faster service when something needs adjustment. No franchise playbook, no push toward one brand. Just a clear comparison of what each unit costs, what it is rated to withstand, and how the warranty works.
Common Window Installation Problems We See in Lantana Homes
- Jalousie frames cast directly into the block. The original louvered jalousie windows in Lantana’s 1950s and 60s CBS homes were set into the concrete without a standard buck, which means a “straight swap” quote is fiction. The installer ends up chiseling and patching concrete on the fly, often with the permit already pulled and the inspector already scheduled. We account for this labor upfront and write it into the contract as a line item, not a surprise.
- Corroded original fasteners and sill pans. Lantana sits entirely within the salt-air corrosion zone between the Intracoastal and the Atlantic, so aluminum frames, hardware, and fasteners deteriorate noticeably faster here than in inland cities even a few miles away. Reusing corroded original fasteners leads to seal failure and loosening within a few years, even if the new sash is impact-rated. We replace fasteners and sill pans on every job.
- Non-impact glazing that fails Palm Beach County code. Lantana is in a wind-borne debris region under Florida Building Code, which means impact-resistant glazing or an approved secondary protection system is mandatory on all window and door replacements. Installing non-impact units on a CBS home here gets the job red-tagged, and the homeowner pays twice for the same opening. We only quote code-compliant products for Lantana addresses.
- Seam leaks where old flashing meets new stucco. When we pull a jalousie off a Lantana home, the original flashing is usually rotted or missing entirely. The opening has to be re-bucked, flashed with modern peel-and-stick membrane, and integrated into the existing weather barrier before the new unit goes in. Skip that step and the window leaks inside the wall cavity, not the room, so you do not find the damage until mold or rot sets in.

FAQs - Window Installation in Lantana
Because the original jalousie frames in Lantana’s 1950s and 60s CBS homes were cast directly into the concrete block without a standard wood or steel buck. That means there is no clean, square opening sized for a modern window unit, and the masonry has to be cut, reshaped, and re-bucked before the new impact window can be test-fit. This typically takes our crew one to two hours per opening with a grinder and hydraulic hammer, and we price it explicitly in our quotes so you are not paying for it as a surprise change order later. Call (754) 238-2201 and we will walk you through exactly what your house needs.
Yes, if you are replacing them. Lantana sits inside the wind-borne debris region under Florida Building Code, which means any window or door replacement must meet impact-resistant glazing standards or have an approved secondary protection system. Corroded aluminum windows that are not broken but are at the end of their service life fall under the same requirement once we pull the old unit. The good news is that a properly installed impact-rated window fixes both problems at once: code compliance and corrosion failure. Call (754) 238-2201 for a free assessment of what your existing windows are rated for.
We plan for it before we start. Lantana homes between the Intracoastal and the Atlantic are notorious for rotted flashing, failed weather barriers, and concrete spalling hidden behind the stucco. When we find something that was not visible during our initial inspection, we stop work, show you exactly what we found, and price the repair in writing before we proceed. You approve the change order, or you do not, and we work from there. Our Done Right Promise covers the workmanship on whatever we do, and The Keystone Standard means both warranty layers are registered in writing before we leave the driveway. Call (754) 238-2201 if you want a contractor who handles surprises like a professional instead of springing them on you at the end.
The permit stays valid, but the scope changes. When we pull a permit for a window replacement in Lantana and the masonry work expands beyond the original scope, our crew documents the change, updates the permit if needed, and coordinates with the Palm Beach County inspector so the job gets signed off correctly. The worst thing that can happen is finishing a window job that does not match what the permit said and watching the inspector red-tag the work. We do not let that happen. We have done enough Lantana jalousie conversions to know which jobs are likely to expand and we price allowances into the contract upfront. Call (754) 238-2201 if you want a contractor who handles the paperwork correctly the first time.
Yes, but the opening has to be reshaped first. A jalousie frame is typically narrower and thinner than a double hung, so our crew cuts the concrete block, installs a proper buck, flashes the opening, and then sets the new double hung so it sits square and seals without binding. This is standard work for us in Lantana, where original jalousies are everywhere, and we quote the masonry labor as a line item so you see exactly what you are paying for. A properly installed double-hung in a re-bucked opening will last decades and pass code inspection the first time. Call (754) 238-2201 for a free estimate on your specific openings.
Last month our crew pulled a 1958 CBS jalousie off a home on W Pine Street and found the original frame cast directly into the block with no buck. Our techs spent the first 90 minutes with a grinder and hydraulic hammer reshaping the masonry opening before we could even test-fit the new impact-rated Simonton casement. Once the opening was re-bucked and flashed, the new low-E, argon-filled unit went in square and sealed, and the homeowner passed Palm Beach County wind-code inspection on the first try. That is the kind of job Lantana throws at you, and it is the reason we do not give the same quote here that we would give in an inland city with newer construction and standard rough openings.
