AfterFast, Reliable Roof Replacement & Installation Across Lantana
Replacing a roof in Lantana means contending with two forces at once: Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris code and the salt air rolling off the Lake Worth Lagoon. A roof replacement here is rarely just shingles. Most homes built in the 1950s through 1970s still carry original jalousie windows that fail the moment an inspector checks for impact-rated glazing during a roof tie-down inspection. That is why our Roof Replacement & Installation team treats every Lantana job as a building-envelope project, not a patch job. Ed Winslow has owned this company since 2011, and the number to call is (561) 782-7525.
Key Takeaways
- Roof replacement in Lantana typically triggers a window inspection because town homes sit in a wind-borne debris zone.
- Impact-rated windows are a code requirement, not an upgrade option, for most 1950s-1970s CBS homes.
- Free in-home measure and written quote. Call (561) 782-7525.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Lantana’s Preferred Roof Replacement & Installation Company
We have been on enough Lantana roofs to know what the brackish air does to flashing and underlayment near the Intracoastal. Homes along West Pine Street and east of Dixie Highway take salt spray from the Atlantic on one side and lagoon humidity on the other. That double exposure means we specify marine-grade fasteners and corrosion-resistant flashing on every east-facing elevation, not just the ones a homeowner can see from the driveway.
Winslow is not a franchise. Ed Winslow’s name is on the door, and a live person answers every call, 24 hours a day. When a Lantana homeowner calls at 2 a.m. because a storm peeled back a section of roof, they do not get a voicemail loop. They get a person who can dispatch a background-checked, uniformed technician to the door. The Done Right Promise means what it says: if it is not done right, we make it right. That promise has been the backbone of the company since 2011 and applies to every shingle, tile, and metal roof we install in Lantana.
Our Roof Replacement & Installation Services in Lantana
Shingle Roof Replacement
Asphalt shingle remains the most common roof type across Lantana’s residential streets, especially in the CBS-home neighborhoods off Lantana Road and north of Hypoluxo Road. We install architectural shingles rated for Palm Beach County’s wind zone and inspect the roof deck for salt-driven rot before the first bundle comes off the truck.
Tile Roof Installation
Many Lantana homeowners choose tile for the same reason builders did in the 1960s: it handles coastal humidity without warping. We install concrete and clay tile systems with proper underlayment and battens, and we flash all penetrations with materials that will not corrode within two years of lagoon exposure.
Metal Roof Installation
Standing-seam metal roofs are becoming more common in Lantana because they shed wind-driven rain effectively and hold up to salt air better than most materials. For homes near the Lantana Nature Preserve or within sight of the lagoon, we recommend marine-grade finishes on all exposed fasteners and panel edges.
Roof Replacement With Impact Window Coordination
This is the service that separates a true Lantana specialist from an out-of-town roofer. When we replace a roof on a 1950s or 1960s CBS home, we check the window schedule at the same time. The permit pulled for the roof triggers an inspection that checks for impact-rated glazing on all openings, so leaving original jalousies in place means a failed inspection and an open permit. We handle both scopes together so the job passes the first time.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lantana
We install PGT impact windows, CGI impact products, and CWS window systems alongside our roof work in Lantana. These are the brands that carry Miami-Dade NOA certification and Florida Product Approval numbers that Lantana building officials and insurance carriers actually recognize. When a homeowner near the Lantana Road corridor needs a compliant window and roof package, we bring products that pass inspection and earn the wind-mitigation credit, rather than whatever stock a big-box retailer happened to have on the shelf.
Common Roof Replacement & Installation Problems We See in Lantana Homes
- Jalousie windows flagged during roof permit inspection. A roofer replaces shingles, the inspector walks the opening schedule, and the jalousies fail the wind-borne debris requirement. Now the homeowner has a roof done and a permit held open until windows get done too. We plan for this upfront, which is why our Roof Replacement & Installation process includes a window compliance check on every Lantana job.
- Corroded flashing and fasteners near the lagoon. Homes west of Dixie Highway and along the Lantana shoreline sit in a microclimate where typical galvanized flashing rusts within a few years. We use marine-grade materials on those elevations, because the cost difference is trivial compared to a re-roof.
- Missing Florida Product Approval documentation. Some installers put in impact windows but never provide the paperwork needed to claim the insurance wind-mitigation credit. The homeowner paid for compliant windows and got no documentation. We hand over every NOA and Product Approval number at closeout.
- Non-marine-grade aluminum frames on east-facing elevations. The Atlantic breeze carries salt that pits standard aluminum within two years. Our team specs finishes rated for coastal exposure on any opening that faces the ocean, which on many Lantana streets is nearly every front window.
Pricing for Roof Replacement & Installation in Lantana, FL
A full shingle roof replacement on a typical 1,400 to 1,800 square foot Lantana CBS home runs between $9,000 and $16,000 depending on the roof pitch, deck condition, and whether we are coordinating window replacement at the same time. Tile roofs in the same size range typically run $18,000 to $32,000, and standing-seam metal starts around $22,000 and can reach $40,000 on complex roof geometries. These are not bid-to-win numbers; they reflect what it actually costs to install a compliant roof in a wind-borne debris zone with marine-grade materials. Call (561) 782-7525 for a free in-home measure and a written quote that includes every line item.
What Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Lantana
Impact windows are the cost most Lantana homeowners do not plan for when they budget a roof. A standard impact single-hung window runs $900 to $1,800 installed, depending on size and frame material. Large or custom openings, like a picture window facing the preserve or a sliding glass door on a lagoon-facing wall, run $2,500 to $5,000. Whole-home packages with roof and windows together typically land between $8,000 and $25,000 or more, driven by opening count, floor height, and the wind zone requirements Palm Beach County enforces. The variables are straightforward: how many openings, what size, what floor, and whether the frame is aluminum or vinyl. We measure every opening and put the price in writing before any work starts. The quote is free, and the price on the quote is the price on the invoice.
Florida Pays You Back
Lantana homeowners have access to three incentive programs that reduce the out-of-pocket cost of a compliant roof and window package. My Safe Florida Home offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, including impact windows and doors. Florida’s sales-tax exemption covers impact-resistant windows and doors, which removes a meaningful line item on a whole-home project. The federal 25C energy credit adds up to 30% of product cost on qualifying units, capped at $600 per year. After the work is done and a wind-mitigation inspection is completed, many Lantana homeowners see windstorm-premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy. The inspection runs $75 to $150. No installer can guarantee what your carrier will approve, but we document every installation so the credit application is clean.
One decision worth making early: permanent impact windows beat hurricane shutters in Lantana. Shutters sit in the garage until a storm threatens, then someone has to haul them out and bolt them in while the wind picks up. Impact windows are always in place and always compliant. For homeowners who have already decided to replace their roof, pairing the two scopes means one inspection cycle, one permit, and one set of documentation for the insurance credit.

FAQs - Roof Replacement & Installation in Lantana
Yes, in nearly every case. Lantana sits in Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris region, and the state building code requires impact-rated glazing on all replacement windows. When a roof permit is pulled and the inspector checks the tie-down, jalousie windows fail because they cannot be retrofitted to meet impact standards. The practical answer is that a roof replacement on a 1950s or 1960s CBS home in Lantana almost always includes window replacement. Plan for it, and the inspection passes. Call (561) 782-7525 and we will check your opening schedule before you commit.
Replacement windows in Lantana must carry Florida Product Approval and, for the wind zone this town sits in, typically a design pressure rating matched to the specific opening. We never install a window rated above +/-100 without the engineering to support it. Every PGT, CGI, and CWS unit we install carries the documentation your inspector and insurance carrier need. The window sticker stays on the frame until the final inspection signs off.
After installation, a wind-mitigation inspection verifies that your openings meet the code’s impact requirements. That inspection report is what the insurance carrier uses to calculate the windstorm-premium credit, which averages around 25% of the windstorm portion of the policy in this area. The credit comes from the documented mitigation features, not from the window brand. We document everything so the claim is clean. Call (561) 782-7525 for an estimate and we will walk you through the documentation.
Yes, if the frames and hardware are spec’d for coastal exposure. Standard aluminum finishes pit and corrode within two years in the brackish air between the lagoon and the ocean. We use marine-grade finishes on every Lantana installation, especially on east-facing elevations. On a 1960s CBS home near the Lantana Nature Preserve, our crew found original jalousie windows with corroded frames from that exact exposure. We installed PGT impact-rated casement windows with laminated glass and Miami-Dade NOA certification, then coordinated the wind mitigation inspection so the roof and windows were documented together. That is the standard, not the exception.
Functionally, the jalousies may open and close. Code-wise, they are non-compliant the moment a roof permit is pulled and the inspector checks the glazing schedule. There is no retrofit kit that brings a louvered glass jalousie into compliance with the Florida Building Code’s impact requirements. The honest answer is they have to go on any job that touches the roof or exterior envelope. The replacement windows are the better window anyway: tighter seal, better storm protection, lower energy use. Call (561) 782-7525 and we will show you the numbers for your home.
