AfterFast, Reliable Custom Windows & Doors Across Lantana
Custom window and door work in Lantana usually means one thing: replacing original 1950s to 1970s units that salt air has been eating for half a century. A full-frame impact-rated replacement for a typical Lantana CBS home runs $850-$2,400 per opening installed, including the masonry anchoring and flashing work this town’s coastal code requires. We know these houses because we work on them every week. Dale Kessler started TruePane Windows & Doors on one rule: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That rule governs every custom opening we cut, anchor, and seal in Lantana. Call (561) 264-1337 for a free estimate from a glazier who knows what Intracoastal salt air does to aluminum.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Lantana’s Preferred Custom Windows & Doors Company
Lantana sits within a thousand feet of the Intracoastal Waterway on nearly every residential street. That geography decides the materials on any job we do here. We do not spec an inland window for a coastal house that needs Impact Windows & Doors in Lantana. We spec fusion-welded vinyl frames or marine-grade aluminum with 316 stainless anchoring hardware, because we have pulled too many ten-year-old inland-spec windows out of Lantana block walls to do otherwise.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained as apprentices before they ever touch a Lantana opening on their own. We measure every rough 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. It is not a slogan. It is the paperwork you keep.
We have served Lantana homeowners long enough to know that a fogged seal on the Intracoastal side of the house fails years before the same unit on the west side. We schedule for that reality. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, not a voicemail tree or a regional call center. When you call about a door that binds in July or a jalousie that will not close against a squall, you talk to a person who knows what you are describing.
Our Custom Windows & Doors Services in Lantana
TruePane is the area’s Custom Windows & Doors contractor for work that stock sizes will not solve. Lantana’s housing stock is old enough that a surprising number of openings were never built to modern rough-opening dimensions. That is what we do best.
Custom Shape Windows
Round-top, octagon, trapezoid, eyebrow, and rake windows are common on Lantana’s older ranch and mid-century homes. The original units are almost never impact-rated, and the openings often have wood bucks that have been soaking up Intracoastal humidity for sixty years. We template every radius, order exactly to the opening, and rebuild the buck before the new frame goes in. A custom-shaped impact unit in Lantana typically runs $1,100-$2,800 installed depending on glass area and geometry.
Oversized Glass Panels
Homes on the lagoon side of Lantana were built for the view. That means wide fixed picture units, often 60 to 96 inches, that let light in and let energy out. Lantana Window Replacement with impact-rated insulated glass requires heavy-section frames and mechanical lifting, not a two-man insert swap. We haul the panel, set it in a bedded frame, and anchor it so it stays square under wind load. Expect $1,500-$4,500 per oversized opening in Lantana depending on glass spec and access.
Architectural Grilles & SDLs
Simulated divided lites give a new impact window the look of the original multi-pane sash without sacrificing storm performance. For Lantana homeowners who want to preserve the street-facing character of a 1960s CBS ranch while meeting current code, SDLs are the standard answer. We order them from the factory as a true divided-lite bar system or a surface-applied profile, whichever matches the house. Grille packages add roughly $60-$180 per window in Lantana.
Commercial Storefront Glazing
Lantana’s commercial strips along Dixie Highway and Ocean Avenue have storefront systems that date back decades. Salt air pits aluminum storefront mullions and rots the setting blocks under the glass. We replace storefront framing, reglaze fixed panels, and bring entries up to current wind-load standards. We also handle curtain wall systems for low-rise commercial buildings, with the same written warranty registration we give a homeowner.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lantana
We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines. For Lantana’s coastal conditions we most often quote PGT impact units, Simonton vinyl, and Jeld-Wen clad wood where the house calls for it. We will put the line items side by side on paper with real prices, not a sales pitch. Most replacement and repair parts for these brands are stocked or available same-week, so a seal failure or broken sash in a Lantana home does not sit waiting on a factory backorder.
Common Custom Windows & Doors Problems We See in Lantana Homes
- Jalousie louvers seized shut. Salt-driven oxidation on the aluminum tracks and operator arms locks the glass louvers in place. That turns an emergency exit into a fixed wall, and it is common within 500 feet of the Intracoastal.
- Pinhole corrosion along sliding door tracks. Original aluminum sliders develop pinholes in the bottom track rail. Stormwater and humid air wick into the sill, and the subfloor rots from the inside where you cannot see it until the tile starts moving.
- Fogged seals on the water side of the house. The east-facing units facing the lagoon fail years before the windows on the west elevation. Salt mist accelerates seal degradation at the glass spacer.
- Snapped casement hardware. The steel hinges on original non-impact casement windows lose tensile strength from years of salt-air pitting. Under storm wind load, the hardware fails before the glass does, and the sash becomes a projectile.
Pricing for Custom Windows & Doors in Lantana, FL
Plan on $850-$2,400 per opening for most custom impact window replacements in Lantana, full-frame installed. Custom shapes run higher, $1,100-$2,800 per unit. Oversized fixed panels are $1,500-$4,500 depending on glass area and access. These numbers include tear-out, masonry anchoring, flashing, and haul-off. The variables are glass package, frame material, opening size, and how much substrate repair the old unit left behind. We write fixed line-item quotes before work starts, and the price does not change unless the wall reveals something structural once the old frame comes out. You will know before we proceed.

FAQs - Custom Windows & Doors in Lantana
Insert replacements slide a new window inside the existing aluminum frame. In Lantana, that existing frame is usually a corroded original jalousie or single-pane aluminum unit from the 1950s through 1970s, and Palm Beach County’s coastal code requires impact-rated glazing anchored directly to the masonry, not to a failing legacy frame. Full-frame removal lets us inspect the block opening, rebuild any rotted wood bucks, and anchor the new impact frame with marine-grade fasteners into solid concrete block. It costs more than an insert, but it passes inspection and it stays square.
Coastal-spec units use fusion-welded vinyl or marine-grade aluminum frames, stainless steel or stainless-capped hardware, and higher-grade glass spacers designed for continuous salt-mist exposure. Inland-spec units use less expensive hardware that will pit within a few years within a thousand feet of the Intracoastal. The price difference is usually $150-$400 per opening. Over a decade in Lantana’s salt air, the cheap spec typically costs more in failed seals, seized hardware, and a second replacement.
Look for white crystalline powder on the aluminum tracks, pitting or pinholes on the bottom rail, sash corners that do not meet square, and glass that fogs between the panes. If you live within three blocks of the Intracoastal Waterway and the windows are original to the house, the answer is almost always yes. Call (561) 264-1337 and we will inspect them on the same visit as the estimate.
No. The jalousie frame, operator arms, and glass clips on a 1960s louvered window are not rated for impact loads, and Palm Beach County will not pass a glass-only replacement on a non-rated frame. The entire assembly has to come out. And in Lantana, doing it right usually means rebuilding the opening around it, because sixty years of salt moisture has rotted the wood bucks and fused the aluminum to the block. We know, because we pulled a jalousie off West Pine Street and the frame had to be sawed out of the wall in pieces. Call (561) 264-1337 for an exact quote on what your openings will require.
Because Lantana sits directly on the Intracoastal Waterway, and the town’s building inspector requires the new impact frame to be anchored into sound block with flashing that seals against wind-driven rain and salt mist. Lake Worth quotes for the same window often assume a cleaner opening and skip substrate repair. In Lantana, the old frames are often fused to the masonry by salt creep and the wood bucks are pulp. If a quote does not include masonry work and flashing, the contractor either has not done the job in Lantana or plans to hide the cost as a change order. Our line-item quote includes it on the front page.
On a 1960s CBS home off West Pine Street, we found the original jalousie frames so corroded they had fused to the block wall with crystalline salt creep. The wood bucks turned to pulp when we pulled them. We sawed out the corroded metal, rebuilt the openings with pressure-treated bucks and flashing tape, then anchored custom-sized impact-rated double-hung units with 316 stainless steel Tapcons. The inspector signed off, and the homeowner does not hear the Intracoastal wind whistling through the old louvers anymore. That is what full-frame replacement in Lantana looks like. Call (561) 264-1337 for your free estimate and we will walk your openings together.
