AfterWindows & Doors Services in Lantana, FL
If you live in Lantana, you already know the signs: windows that rattle when a truck passes on Dixie Highway, a front door that sticks every humid August, and that faint whistle of air conditioning escaping through frames that were installed when Eisenhower was president. We’re Winslow Windows & Doors, and we’ve seen every coastal window problem Lantana can throw at a house. From the CBS homes along Northlake Boulevard to the mid-century ranches off West Pine Street, our crews know which window styles fail first here and which replacements actually hold up. Call (561) 782-7525 and a real person answers, day or night.
Here’s the short version: Impact window replacement in Lantana typically runs $900 to $1,900 per opening installed, with doors ranging $1,800 to $4,500. The exact number depends on the opening size, design pressure rating, and which authorized brand you choose. Most full-home window projects take four to six weeks from order to installation because the units are fabricated to Palm Beach County wind zone specs. We don’t cut corners on that, and neither should you.
Ed Winslow put his name on this company in 2011. That means we answer for our work personally. The Done Right Promise isn’t a marketing line, it’s how Ed runs the place: if it’s not done right, we make it right. Full stop.

Why Lantana Homeowners Choose Winslow Windows & Doors
Lantana isn’t a generic South Florida town, and the homes here aren’t generic either. We’ve replaced windows and doors in the Hypoluxo Island area where salt spray from the Lake Worth Lagoon coats hardware year-round, and in the older neighborhoods off Lantana Road where jalousie windows are still doing their best. Homeowners tell us the same thing: they called another company first, got a vague quote, and then sat by a phone that never rang. That’s not how we work.
We’ve earned a strong local reputation across Lantana and the surrounding area. When you call, the person who answers already knows the wind zone requirements in Palm Beach County and why a standard store-bought slider won’t pass inspection on a canal-front slab home. Every technician who arrives at your door is background-checked and in uniform. You’ll know exactly who’s on your property before they step out of the truck.
Ed’s name is on the door, and on every job we do. Locally owned, owner-operated, with a published address and license number. No shell companies, no faceless franchise office in another state. Just a neighbor you can call at 2 a.m. and someone will actually answer.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Lantana
Impact Windows
In Lantana, impact windows aren’t optional when you’re pulling a permit. They’re a legal requirement under Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris region code. We install laminated impact glass from authorized brands like PGT, CGI, and ES Windows, each unit rated and Florida Product Approved for the design pressure of its specific opening. Every job includes proper anchoring into your home’s CBS block or wood framing. Learn more about Impact Windows in Lantana.
Window Installation
Whether it’s a new build on a Hypoluxo Island lot or a retrofit in a 1950s block home, we handle window installation from the first measurement to the final bead of sealant. Our crews understand how Lantana’s salt air and humidity interact with flashing, sealants, and frame materials. Mistakes here show up as leaks within a year; we build it to last decades. Learn more about Window Installation in Lantana.
Window Replacement
Most Lantana homes still wearing original single-pane aluminum or jalousie frames need more than a glass swap. They need a full-frame replacement engineered for current code and current climate. We remove the old unit clean, install the new one level and square, and finish the interior and exterior trim to look like it was always there. Learn more about Window Replacement in Lantana.
Door Installation
Front entry doors in Lantana take a beating: lagoon moisture on one side, ocean breeze on the other, and that relentless August sun overhead. We install Therma-Tru and other authorized brands with proper thresholds, weatherstripping, and corrosion-resistant hardware. A door that seals correctly pays for itself in cooling savings and stops getting stuck every June.
Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
Sliders and patio doors in Lantana need to do three things: open effortlessly, seal tightly, and meet impact code when facing the water. We install impact-rated sliding glass doors from PGT and CGI with reinforced frames and laminated glass that passes the wind-borne debris test. No fighting with a track that’s been salt-corroded for 20 years.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Cooling a Lantana home through July and August is expensive enough without windows that leak conditioned air through degraded seals. Our energy-efficient glass packages, including Low-E coatings and insulating gas fills, cut solar heat gain and can reduce the load on your HVAC. Most customers see cooling costs drop 20 to 30 percent after replacing old single-pane units.
Impact Garage Doors
Your garage door is the largest single opening on your home, and in a wind event it’s also the weakest. We install impact-rated garage doors with reinforced tracking and bracing that meet Palm Beach County requirements. Composite and aluminum options available, each rated for the wind loads your Lantana home actually faces.
Custom & Geometric Windows
Some mid-century Lantana homes have architectural windows you can’t just order out of a catalog: circles, half-rounds, angles, and combinations that require real fabrication. We handle custom and geometric windows with precise measurements and factory-matched glass packages. If it was built in 1962, chances are we can build it again in a code-compliant impact version.
Roof Repair
Lantana’s wind and salt exposure takes a toll on roofs too. We handle roof repair, wall tie-in, fascia, and flashing work around window and door openings. If water is getting in around a transom or an exterior door header, we trace the leak to the actual source before it becomes rot or mold inside the wall.
Roof Replacement & Installation
Full roof replacement in Lantana means working within Palm Beach County’s strict wind requirements for shingle, tile, and metal systems. We coordinate roofing with window and door work so wall flashing, continuous load paths, and impact openings all meet code on the same schedule. One crew, one timeline, one accountable owner.
Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing
Lantana’s housing mix includes flat and low-slope roofs on older CBS homes alongside modern tile and metal installations. We install and repair all three: asphalt shingle for budget and curb appeal, tile for authentic Florida character, and standing-seam metal for maximum wind resistance and longevity in a salt-air environment.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Lantana
Our technicians work throughout Lantana, from the canal-front homes off Hypoluxo Road to the condominiums and single-family houses along West Lantana Road. We know these blocks, and we know what each one demands from a window or door.
- Hypoluxo Island - lagoon-front and canal-front homes with extreme salt-air exposure
- Old Lantana - the original 1950s-60s CBS homes, many with jalousie windows still in place
- Lantana Pines and surrounding HOA communities
- Moorings at Lantana - newer construction with different flashing and sealant needs
- Imperial Lake Estates - larger-lot homes with combinations of sliding glass and custom geometry
For most jobs in Lantana, we’re on site within a day or two for the measure and proposal. Once your custom window units are fabricated and delivered to our local staging point, installation itself can run as fast as a single day for smaller retrofits. Crews are dispatched from our South Florida metro office.
Why Lantana’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Lantana sits directly on the Lake Worth Lagoon with the Atlantic Ocean less than a mile to the east across the barrier island. That means virtually every home here faces salt-air assault from two directions at once. The brackish, humid microclimate eats through non-marine-grade aluminum finishes, corrodes door hardware, and degrades weatherstripping far faster than even nearby inland towns like Greenacres or the western neighborhoods of Lake Worth. We regularly open up three-year-old hardware from a big-box install in a Lantana home and find pitting and oxidation that would take a decade to develop further inland.
On top of the corrosion problem, Lantana sits squarely inside Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris region. Impact-rated windows and doors are a legal requirement on replacements, not an optional upgrade. So every job here is really two jobs at once: fixing corrosion-related failures and bringing the home into code compliance. That’s the reality of Lantana’s building stock, and we plan for it on every quote.
The housing stock here compounds the challenge. The residential core is dominated by CBS construction from the 1950s through the 1970s. A surprising number of these homes still have their original jalousie windows, the louvered glass-panel style that was everywhere in mid-century coastal Florida. Those windows simply cannot be retrofitted to meet impact standards. If you’re pulling a permit for even a modest renovation, full window replacement to impact-rated units frequently becomes a line item you didn’t expect. We know that, so we flag it early in the estimating process instead of surprising you mid-project. That’s the difference between a contractor who has worked Lantana for years and one who’s just passing through.
Impact Windows vs. Hurricane Shutters: What Lantana Homeowners Should Know
Plenty of Lantana homeowners weigh impact windows against hurricane shutters when they’re budgeting for storm season. Both can satisfy code, but they are not the same product. Shutters depend on someone being home and physically able to install metal panels or roll down accordion systems before every warning. In a town where many residents travel during the summer months or simply don’t want to be on a ladder in the wind and rain at the last minute, impact windows are the permanent solution. Once installed, they protect 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with no panels to find, no tracks to lubricate, and no shutters to stack in the garage.
Impact glass also does three things shutters never will. It keeps your air conditioning inside during the 11 months when there’s no storm, it means no more hauling shutters out of a humid garage, and it keeps hurricane debris from breaching your home even if you’re 300 miles away. And unlike shutters, impact windows are permanently installed and count toward your wind mitigation inspection from day one.
Another comparison we hear constantly is the big-box retail installation route versus a licensed impact specialist. The box store price often looks lower. What often isn’t factored in until too late: who is actually measuring your openings, what design pressure the off-the-shelf units are rated for, whether the anchoring meets Palm Beach County’s required specs for your exact wall construction, and who stands behind the labor when something leaks. We install PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows, all Florida Product Approved, all anchored by crews who do this every day, all backed by Ed Winslow personally. That difference matters in Lantana.

Florida Pays Lantana Homeowners Back
There’s real money on the table for Lantana homeowners who upgrade to impact-rated or energy-efficient windows and doors, and you should know about all of it before you commit to a quote. The state’s My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation improvements, including impact windows and doors. Separately, Florida waives sales tax on impact-resistant windows and doors, which can save you 6 to 7 percent right off the top of a five-figure project.
At the federal level, the 25C energy credit returns 30 percent of the product cost on qualifying energy-efficient units, up to $600 per year. And after you complete the work, a wind-mitigation inspection (typically $75 to $150) can document your upgrades to earn windstorm-premium credits. Most Lantana homeowners we work with see their windstorm premium portion drop by around 25 percent after a clean inspection. These programs have rules and application windows; we can point you to the right resources, but your carrier and the state set the final numbers. No guarantees, just the programs as they exist today.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Lantana
Impact window replacement in Lantana typically costs $900 to $1,900 per opening installed, depending on size, brand, and design pressure rating. A full-home job with 8 to 12 openings usually lands between $12,000 and $25,000. The Florida sales tax exemption on impact windows and doors reduces that cost immediately. Call (561) 782-7525 for an exact quote. Estimates are free.
Jalousie windows cannot be retrofitted to meet Palm Beach County’s impact requirements, so any permit that touches those openings will generally require replacement with impact-rated units. If you’re planning a renovation or refinance in Lantana, budget for full window replacement on jalousie openings early rather than being surprised by the code requirement later. We do this work constantly in Lantana and can bundle it with your other scope.
No. We provide written line-item pricing before work begins, and that line-item price is fixed. We don’t hit Lantana homeowners with change orders after tear-out unless you ask us to add scope mid-project. That’s part of the Winslow accountability standard with Ed’s name attached to the estimate.
Yes. Permits pulled and inspections passed are standard on every project here. Palm Beach County has specific anchoring and design pressure documentation requirements for impact openings, and your permit package needs to show compliance upfront. We handle the paperwork, the documentation from our authorized brands, and the scheduling of your inspections.
Custom impact units are fabricated to your exact opening sizes, which typically runs four to six weeks from measurement to delivery at our staging location. Once units are on hand, installation can run as fast as a single day for smaller jobs and two to three days for a full-home replacement. We keep you posted on fabrication status so you’re never wondering where your order is.

What Lantana Customers Say
"Three big companies quoted us and every one sent a salesman with a leased truck. Ed turned up in a truck with his own name on the door, quoted less, and his crew were the same faces on day one and day nine."
- Yolanda Betancourt"A tile roof repair and new windows from the same company meant one crew, one permit runner, and nobody blaming the other trade. Ed checked the roof work himself before the tarp came off."
- Henrietta Pemberton"Ed measured every opening himself and walked me through the product approval paperwork before I signed anything. When the inspector came he found the notice of acceptance taped inside a window like it should be and passed us first visit."
