AfterFast, Reliable Window Replacement Across Lantana
Window replacement in Lantana runs $450-$1,200 per opening for standard inserts, $900-$2,800 for full-frame impact-rated units on those tight 1950s CBS lots, and $1,800-$4,200 for a complete jalousie-to-impact conversion including rough-opening reframing. Most jobs take one day per four to five openings once permits clear, which in Palm Beach County typically adds three to ten business days depending on how fast the town reviews your specific block. If you live west of US-1 or up near Ocean Avenue, our crews know your streets, your setbacks, and the salt-air problems that show up on aluminum frames faster than anywhere inland.

Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Lantana’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
We have been replacing windows in Lantana long enough to know which blocks still carry original jalousie glass and which ones got builder-grade sliders in the 1980s. That matters because the right replacement strategy for a 1962 CBS cottage off Lantana Road is not the same as it is for a newer stucco home near Hypoluxo Road. 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 is The Keystone Standard, and it has been our baseline since Dale Kessler started the company in 2008 on a simple rule: if the pane is not true, the job is not done.
We are background-checked and uniformed on every job, working in your home the way we would work in our own mother’s. A live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so when you call about a failed seal or a window that will not lock, you talk to a human being, not a voicemail tree. Lantana homeowners have learned to expect that from us, and that is why they call us back when the second and third windows need doing.
Our Window Replacement Services in Lantana
Full Frame Replacement
Full frame replacement is the standard we recommend for most Lantana concrete block homes, especially those running original jalousie windows from the 1950s and 1960s. The old frame comes out entirely, we inspect the rough opening for salt damage and uneven block, then set a new, properly flashed impact-rated frame into the opening. On tight lots west of US-1, this is where you catch hidden corrosion on sill pans and furring strips before it becomes a structural problem.
Insert Window Replacement
Inserts work when your existing frames are square, sound, and not corroded through. In Lantana, that is less common than in newer subdivisions to the west, because decades of salt air off Lake Worth Lagoon works on aluminum frames even when the glass is fine. We will tell you plainly if an insert is the right call or if you would be paying to put a good window into a failing frame. The quote reflects what the opening actually needs, not what is easiest to sell.
Storm Window Replacement
Storm windows are not hurricane protection, and we will not pretend otherwise. But for Lantana homeowners who want an extra layer against wind-driven rain and salt spray without a full impact retrofit, a properly fitted storm window over a rebuilt opening is a legitimate option. The catch on CBS construction is that the rough opening still has to be made true before anything seats correctly. We handle that first.
Energy-Efficient Upgrade
Original jalousie louvered glass does almost nothing to keep conditioned air inside a block home. Replacing those with low-E, argon-filled impact units cuts cooling costs in Lantana’s July and August heat and gives you a window that stays clear instead of fogging from seal failure. We quote manufacturer lines side by side so you see exactly what you are paying for in glass coating, frame material, and wind rating. No jargon, no vague “energy package” line items.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lantana
We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for Lantana’s coastal exposure we frequently quote Window Replacement packages built around PGT impact-rated units. These are marine-grade frames and glazing meant for salt air, not inland-spec products that corrode within two or three years of a jalousie conversion. Because we stock common replacement parts and hardware for these lines locally, turnaround on a broken sash or failed balance is measured in days, not weeks.
Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Lantana Homes
- Salt-air corrosion on aluminum frames and sill pans. Homes within a mile of Lake Worth Lagoon get hammered by marine air that eats through non-marine-grade aluminum in two to three years. We have pulled frames off block openings and found the sill pan reduced to white powder while the glass above still looked new.
- Jalousie-to-impact retrofits that skip the rough opening work. The original 1950s and 1960s openings on CBS cottages are rarely square, rarely nominal, and rarely the right depth for a modern impact frame. Installers who force a standard unit into that opening leave gaps that fail seals and lose argon within the first hurricane season.
- Improper flashing on concrete block openings. Wind-driven rain from coastal storms gets behind the jamb when flashing is skipped or taped wrong. What looks like a clean install on the outside hides rot on interior furring strips and a failed inspection on the back end.
- Fogged seals from failed insulated glass units. The combination of salt air, high UV, and original single-pane construction means any older double-pane window in Lantana is on borrowed time once the seal begins to haze. Once moisture is between the panes, the only fix is replacement, not repair.
Pricing for Window Replacement in Lantana, FL
Expect to pay these ranges in Lantana, and know that the block construction and tight lot access on most of our jobs is already factored into these numbers:
- Standard insert replacement (per window): $450-$1,200
- Full-frame impact-rated replacement (per window): $900-$2,800
- Jalousie-to-impact conversion with reframing (per opening): $1,800-$4,200
- Permit fees (Palm Beach County, product approval): $120-$450 per job, depending on scope
What moves the number: whether the rough opening needs reframing, how far the unit sits from the property line for staging, whether we are pulling a permit on a single window or a whole elevation, and which manufacturer line you choose. We quote every line item on paper before work starts. No change orders, no surprise add-ons. Call (754) 339-0784 and we will walk the job with you, measure every opening twice, and hand you a written number.

FAQs - Window Replacement in Lantana
Yes. Any window replacement that changes the opening size or involves impact-rated products on a concrete block home in Lantana requires a permit through the town and product approval through Palm Beach County. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and stand behind the pass. That is part of the written quote, not a separate surprise at the end.
On a 50-foot lot west of US-1, we stage materials on the driveway or in the street right-of-way with the town’s blessing, and we keep a rolling magnetic sweeper running all day to catch hardware and debris before it reaches the neighbor’s property line. Access constraints get worked into the quote up front, because a window job where the crew cannot reach the opening cleanly is a job that costs more in labor, not less. If your side yard is tight or your driveway is shared, tell us at the estimate and we will plan around it.
Yes. We measure original 1950s and 1960s concrete block openings regularly, and they vary by up to 3/8 inch from nominal dimensions. Impact-rated replacement frames assume a true opening, so when the block is off, the frame has to be hand-trimmed or the opening reframed before the unit seats correctly. Anyone who tells you a standard unit will drop right into a 1962 CBS cottage has not done enough work on this side of town.
You can, but here is what we see on Lantana blocks where homeowners choose shutters over replacement: insurance carriers increasingly refuse to write coverage on jalousie glass, and inspectors flag those windows on nearly every sale. Shutters solve the wind-code question during a storm but do nothing for the everyday problems: salt-air corrosion, zero insulation, and louvers that do not seal against rain or noise. For most homeowners on the old CBS blocks, the smarter money goes to impact-rated replacement, not a shutter system bolted over glass that will fail anyway. Call us for an honest take on your specific structure before you decide.
Because on 50-foot lots with shared side yards, your window job is practically in your neighbor’s living room. We work clean, we keep noise to reasonable hours, and we make sure debris does not end up past the property line. That is not just courtesy. It is how a company that plans to be in Lantana thirty years from now conducts itself on every single job. When you call (754) 339-0784 for your free estimate, ask us how we will handle your specific lot. We will lay out the plan in plain English.
