AfterFast, Reliable Impact Windows & Doors Across Lantana
Impact window and door replacement in Lantana typically runs $900-$2,400 per opening for full-frame work, with most jalousie-to-impact conversions landing between $1,400 and $1,900 because of the masonry anchoring Palm Beach County coastal code requires. The job rarely takes more than two days once the custom frames arrive. If you’re calling from East Ocean Avenue, Hypoluxo Road, or anywhere along the Intracoastal, you can reach a live person at (561) 264-1337 and get a written quote on paper, not a ballpark over the phone.
Lantana is a specific kind of job site, and we treat it that way. The salt air off the Lake Worth Lagoon does not care what your windows cost twenty years ago. It has been working on the metal in your house since the day it went in. When our Impact Windows & Doors crew pulls a set of original aluminum jalousies from a CBS home on North Atlantic Drive, we know what we are going to find before the first screw comes out.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Lantana’s Preferred Impact Windows & Doors Company
We have been at this long enough to know that Lantana homeowners do not want a sales pitch. They want someone who already knows what a 1962 CBS house on a 50-foot lot looks like behind the stucco, and who can explain the difference between a coastal-spec frame and the big-box version before writing a number down. Dale Kessler built TruePane in 2008 on one rule: if the pane is not true, the job is not done.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they measure every opening twice before ordering anything. We register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing, with durations stated, before the truck leaves your driveway. That is The Keystone Standard, and it applies to every job we do in Lantana. No fine print that covers neither. No arguing about whose fault a fogged seal is.
We also answer the phone. A live person, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Not a voicemail tree. Not a callback form. When a storm is tracking toward Palm Beach County and you need to know if your existing openings will pass, you call and a human picks up. That matters more in Lantana than it does inland, because the window to get protection in place before June is not generous.
Our Impact Windows & Doors Services in Lantana
Hurricane Impact Windows
Full-frame impact window replacement is the dominant job type in Lantana, and it usually starts with tearing out jalousies. Homes built between the late 1940s and the 1970s here lean heavily on the louvered-glass units that were standard for the era. They are not impact-rated, they seal poorly, and in Lantana’s salt air the aluminum frames corrode where they meet steel lintels. Replacing them properly means custom frame sizing to the original rough opening and masonry anchoring back into the block, not an insert swap that leaves the old rot behind.
Impact Sliding Glass Doors
Original aluminum sliders from the 1960s are all over Lantana’s CBS ranches, and the Intracoastal salt exposure pits the tracks and seizes the rollers until the door either will not open or leaves a half-inch gap at the jamb. We specify marine-grade stainless rollers and corrosion-resistant tracks for every slider we set within a mile of the lagoon. The coastal-spec door costs more up front. The inland-spec door costs more by year seven when the track fails and the panel has to come out again.
Impact Entry & French Doors
Entry doors on Lantana’s older homes often sit under shallow overhangs, so the bottom rails and thresholds take direct salt and rain exposure even when the door itself is protected. We see wood door frames that have rotted a half-inch into the slab at the threshold, and hinge screws that snap when you try to back them out because the zinc plating went years ago. We replace with impact-rated fiberglass or steel doors, hot-dip galvanized hinge screws, and threshold pans sealed to keep wind-driven water out of the slab edge.
Impact Garage Doors
Garage doors in Lantana face a double problem: they are the largest opening on the house and usually the least protected, and the salt air works on the track hardware and springs faster than anywhere inland. A garage door that blows in during a storm pressurizes the whole house and takes the roof with it. We install impact-rated garage doors with stainless hardware and corrosion-resistant tracks, sized to the existing opening and tied into the surrounding masonry per Palm Beach County’s coastal high-wind zone requirements.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lantana
We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, which means we can quote side by side on paper so you see exactly what you are buying. Around Lantana, we commonly write quotes for PGT, Simonton, and Jeld-Wen impact lines, and we keep a working inventory of parts for the brands already in the field. That means faster turnaround when a latch fails or a balance needs replacement on an existing unit. You do not wait three weeks for a hardware kit to ship from a factory warehouse.
Common Impact Windows & Doors Problems We See in Lantana Homes
- Electrolytic corrosion at the jalousie-to-lintel connection. The steel lintel and the aluminum frame corrode against each other in salt air, loosening the window and letting wind-driven rain behind the frame. By the time you see the stain on the interior drywall, the anchor points are usually gone.
- Fogged insulated glass with no visible break. Chloride ions in the lagoon air attack the edge sealant, argon leaks out, and moisture gets between the panes. An inland home might not see this for fifteen years. In Lantana, we routinely see it in five.
- Sliders that will not roll. Aluminum tracks pit and the rollers disintegrate from salt exposure. The door drags, then sticks, then leaves a half-inch gap at the jamb that lets conditioned air out and bugs in.
- Rotted wood bucks behind original windows. Decades of Intracoastal salt moisture have rotted the wood framing inside the block opening. You will not know until the old window comes out, but when it does, the new frame has nothing sound to anchor into without repair.

What moves the number in Lantana is the condition of the masonry behind the frame. If the lintels are sound and the rough opening is square, an insert may work and the price stays at the lower end. If the steel is corroded and the block has spalled, the job becomes a structural repair with a window set into it. That is the honest difference between the coastal-spec and the inland-spec job, and it is exactly why we write quotes on paper after measuring, not over the phone.

FAQs - Impact Windows & Doors in Lantana
Jalousie windows fail because the louvered glass slats are structurally incapable of resisting hurricane pressures, and the aluminum frames carry no impact rating whatsoever. Add Lantana’s salt air, which corrodes the frame-to-lintel connection over decades, and the unit is neither wind-resistant nor adequately anchored. Building code requires impact-rated glazing or an approved protection system on all replacements in Palm Beach County’s coastal high-wind zone, so a jalousie window cannot legally go back in. Call (561) 264-1337 and we will show you what the code requires for your specific openings, free.
Sometimes, yes. If the track has light pitting and the rollers are intact, we can clean the track, replace the rollers with marine-grade stainless, and adjust the panel. But if the aluminum track is deeply pitted or the frame has corroded through at the corners, the door needs replacement. In Lantana’s salt zone, we replace more of these than we repair by a wide margin. Call (561) 264-1337 for an honest assessment, and we will tell you which side of the line yours falls on.
If the insulated glass unit has failed, the glass pack can often be replaced without touching the frame, provided the frame itself is still sound and properly anchored. In Lantana, the question is usually whether the frame is worth saving. If the aluminum is corroded at the corners or the lintel anchors have rusted, a glass-only swap buys you a few years at best. Call (561) 264-1337 and we will inspect the frame before recommending anything.
The difference is in the hardware and finish materials. A coastal-spec window uses hot-dip galvanized or stainless jamb anchors, stainless set screws, and a frame finish rated for continuous salt exposure. The inland-spec version uses standard zinc hardware and a standard finish. In Lantana, the inland-spec window will show corrosion at the anchors and hardware within five to seven years, and the manufacturer’s finish warranty will not cover it because the product was installed outside its rated environment. We specify coastal-spec on every job within a mile of the Lake Worth Lagoon because the cheap spec costs more within a decade.
Almost always, yes. The original jalousie frames in Lantana’s 1950s and 60s CBS homes are typically anchored to steel lintels that have been corroding in salt air for sixty years. When the old frame comes out, the lintel often needs to be chipped out and the surrounding block repaired before the new impact frame can be anchored to code. Our crew on East Ocean Avenue once pulled a 1962 jalousie and found the wood bucks rotted back a full inch, with the aluminum frames fused into the block. We rebuilt the opening with pressure-treated lumber, set the new impact casements with hot-dip galvanized anchors, and the Town of Lantana inspector passed it on the first look.
If you live in Lantana and you are still looking at original jalousies or a slider that has not moved smoothly in years, call (561) 264-1337. We will come out, measure twice, and hand you a written quote with line items and warranty durations on paper. The estimate is free. The standard is not.
