AfterFast, Reliable Window Installation Across Lantana
Window installation in Lantana, FL is not a one-size-fits-all job, and if you live in one of the town’s 1950s and 60s CBS homes, you already know why. Those original jalousie windows are charming in a retro way, but they don’t meet current Florida Building Code impact standards, and they leak air like a screen door. Winslow Windows & Doors has been replacing them with impact-rated, energy-efficient units since 2011, and we know exactly what Lantana’s salt-heavy air does to a window frame. Call (561) 782-7525 and a live person answers, any time, day or night.
For a quick read: a standard impact window in Lantana runs $800 to $1,500 installed. A single-hung impact unit lands between $900 and $1,800. Whole-home packages typically fall in the $8,000 to $25,000+ range depending on opening count and frame work. We’ll get into the specifics below, including why Lantana’s jalousie-heavy housing stock makes the first quote more detailed than most companies bother to give you.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Lantana’s Preferred Window Installation Company
Ed Winslow started this company in 2011 and put his name on the door, and that’s not marketing language. It’s the reason our crews show up in uniform, background-checked, and with a written line-item quote in hand, not a vague ballpark and a handshake. Lantana homeowners call us because we answer the phone with a person, not a voicemail tree, and because we don’t send a different subcontractor every time. The team that measures your windows is the team that installs them.
We work throughout Lantana, from the older blocks around West Pine Street and North 3rd Street up to the neighborhoods lining Lantana Road and the waterfront streets west of the lagoon. That matters because a home on the east side of town, close to the Intracoastal, deals with different corrosion patterns than a home a few blocks inland off Hypoluxo Road. We price for what we know we’ll find, not what we hope is there. You’ll see that difference in the estimate, and in the fact that your invoice doesn’t move after you sign unless you approve a written change order first.
Our Window Installation team is the same crew that handles our door and roofing work, which means we understand how a window ties into the wall assembly, the stucco, the flashing, and the roofline. That’s not a small detail in Lantana, where decades of brackish humidity get behind original aluminum frames and rot the wood and corrode the metal underneath. We inspect before we quote, and we write allowances into the contract for what a permit inspection might flag once walls are open.
Our Window Installation Services in Lantana
Here’s what we install most often in Lantana, and what to expect for each.
Casement Windows
Casement windows are the workhorse replacement for Lantana’s older jalousie units. They crank open with a tight compression seal, so they handle both the wind-driven rain off the Atlantic and the humidity rolling in from the Lake Worth Lagoon. In a 1960s CBS home with original jalousie frames, a casement replacement almost always means removing the old metal jamb and setting a new treated frame, because the original aluminum is frequently corroded through from salt air. We budget for that work in the estimate, so it doesn’t surprise you later.
Jalousie Replacement to Impact-Rated Single or Double Hung
If you own a mid-century Lantana home, you probably have jalousie windows somewhere, maybe a whole wall of them. Florida Building Code does not allow retrofitting jalousie glass to meet impact standards. The entire sash and frame has to come out. The good news is single and double hung units from PGT or CGI fit those openings cleanly and give you real thermal performance plus storm protection. We handle the full replacement: pulling the old frame, repairing the opening, setting the new buck, and finishing the interior and exterior trim.
3-Panel Sliding (3-Lite Roller) Windows
For wider openings, a 3-panel sliding window gives you a big clear view without a center post in the way. On Lantana’s waterfront and lagoon-side homes, we recommend laminated impact glass with a Miami-Dade NOA rating, matched to the design pressure for the specific opening size and height above grade. We also check the track and roller hardware for corrosion resistance, because standard rollers seize up in this salt air faster than most manufacturers admit.
Single & Double Hung Windows
These are the most common replacements in Lantana’s one-story CBS homes, where bedrooms and kitchens often have original single-pane aluminum sliders. A double hung gives you ventilation control from both sashes, and when paired with an impact-rated laminate, it quietens the street noise from Federal Highway and the train line noticeably. We quote these in all three of the major frame materials, aluminum, vinyl, and impact-rated aluminum with thermal break, and we explain the real-world difference in this specific climate.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lantana
We’re an authorized installer for CGI, CWS, and ES Windows, three manufacturers that engineer specifically for coastal Florida’s wind-borne debris zones. That means we can order units with Miami-Dade NOA and Florida Product Approval numbers matched to the exact design pressure your opening requires, and we handle the permit paperwork so the inspection passes on the first visit. Lantana homeowners don’t have to wait weeks for parts either. We coordinate directly with the manufacturer and schedule the install as soon as units arrive, typically installed in as fast as a single day once your window ships. Custom fabrication runs 4 to 6 weeks, and we tell you that upfront.
Common Window Installation Problems We See in Lantana Homes
We’ve worked on enough Lantana properties to know what lies behind the stucco. Here’s what we see most.
- Corroded original aluminum jambs. Decades of salt air from the Lake Worth Lagoon eats the metal, and a new window set into a corroded jamb leaks within a season. We replace the jamb or the entire opening as needed, not just the sash.
- Jalousie windows that cannot meet code. Lantana’s 1950s and 60s CBS homes are full of them, and any permit pull triggers a replacement requirement. We price for full sash and frame removal from the start.
- Undersized framing for impact-rated units. Impact glass is heavier, and an opening framed for a lightweight jalousie often needs a new treated buck and stainless fasteners to pass inspection. We check before ordering the window.
- Stucco and waterproofing failures around old openings. Humid air from the lagoon side gets behind flashing and rots the substrate. Installing a new window without repairing that is like painting over termite damage. We fix it right.
Pricing for Window Installation in Lantana, FL
Here’s the honest number picture for Lantana. Impact windows by themselves generally run $800 to $1,500 per window installed. An impact single-hung is $900 to $1,800 because of the laminated glass and heavier frame. Large or custom openings like a 3-panel slider or a picture window with fixed side panels run $2,500 to $5,000. A whole-home package, meaning every opening in a typical 3-bedroom CBS home, usually lands between $8,000 and $25,000+. The spread depends on opening count, floor height, frame material, and how much reframing the original jalousie openings need. Free in-home measure and a written quote. Call (561) 782-7525 and Ed’s team will schedule it.
What Window Installation Costs in Lantana
You’ll see those same ranges above, but let’s be specific about what moves the price in Lantana’s market. First, wind zone. The whole town sits inside Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris region, so every replacement has to be impact-rated. There’s no cheaper, non-impact option on a permitted job. Second, floor height and exposure. A second-story window on the east side of town faces more wind pressure than a ground-floor window inland, so its design pressure rating may be higher, and the glass spec changes with it. Third, the condition of the existing opening. If we find corroded jambs or rot, we reframe before we set the window, and that work is in the written estimate, or covered by a written allowance in your contract.
Key takeaways on cost:
- Standard impact window in Lantana: $800-$1,500 installed
- Impact single-hung: $900-$1,800
- Large or custom opening: $2,500-$5,000
- Whole-home package: $8,000-$25,000+
- Free in-home measure and written line-item quote
We don’t give you a number over the phone and then pad it with change orders after we open the wall. We inspect first, write allowances, and any surprise gets priced and approved in writing before we touch it.
Florida Pays You Back
If you’re replacing windows in Lantana anyway, there are state and federal programs worth knowing about. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, which includes impact windows when you meet the eligibility requirements. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit covers 30% of the product cost on qualifying windows, up to $600 per year. Many Lantana homeowners also see windstorm insurance premium credits after a wind-mitigation inspection, often averaging around 25% off the windstorm portion of the premium. The inspection costs $75 to $150. No guarantees, each program and each carrier sets its own numbers, but our team can point you to the right paperwork and walk you through the process.
A quick note on a decision we hear a lot: impact windows versus hurricane shutters. Shutters only protect you when someone is home to put them up, and they do nothing for daily heat, noise, or the salt-air corrosion eating your frames. Impact windows work every day, are always in place, and when Lantana’s mid-century homes already need a replacement anyway, the marginal cost over new non-impact glass is smaller than most people think.

FAQs - Window Installation in Lantana
Because Florida Building Code does not allow jalousie windows in wind-borne debris zones, and Lantana is entirely inside that zone. The minute you pull a permit for a remodel, even for something unrelated like a kitchen or bathroom, the code requires all openings to meet current impact protection standards. Jalousie glass cannot be retrofitted. The entire sash and frame has to be replaced with an impact-rated unit. Call (561) 782-7525 and we’ll quote the window work correctly before you file the permit, so there are no surprises from the inspector.
Salt air corrodes untreated aluminum over years, especially on older frames that were never designed for a brackish, humid environment. You’ll see white powdery oxidation, pitting, and eventually holes in the metal. We inspect the frames as part of our free in-home measure, and we’ll show you exactly where the corrosion is and whether the jamb can be saved or needs replacement. That diagnosis is in writing before we quote the install.
Yes, it will, and the difference is measurable. Original single-pane aluminum and jalousie windows in a 1960s CBS home have almost no thermal resistance. Impact-rated insulated glass units, especially with low-E coating, cut solar heat gain significantly, and that reduces the load on your AC during Lantana’s brutal summer months. The exact savings depend on your existing windows, your insulation, and your thermostat habits, but the physics is straightforward. For a free estimate on what new units would cost and what you might save, call (561) 782-7525.
Yes, impact windows can reduce your windstorm insurance premium, often by a meaningful percentage after a wind-mitigation inspection. We don’t file the claim for you, but our team will point you to the correct forms and the inspection process, and we’ll make sure the product documentation, Miami-Dade NOA numbers, and Florida Product Approval paperwork are all in order so the inspection goes through without delays.
You always replace the entire frame. The original aluminum frame was not designed for impact glazing, and in many Lantana homes it’s already corroded from lagoon salt air. Swapping glass into an old frame is not a code-compliant repair and won’t pass inspection. We remove the old frame, repair or replace the jamb, and set a new impact-rated unit with the correct design pressure rating for the opening.
