AfterFast, Reliable Window Installation Across Lantana
Window installation in Lantana, FL typically runs $650-$1,450 per opening for a full-frame impact-rated replacement, and $400-$850 per window for an insert job where the existing frame is still sound. Most homes here, though, need the full-frame route because original jalousie and 1960s aluminum frames won’t pass current wind-load requirements. We know Lantana’s housing stock well enough to tell you which one you need before we quote it. Call (561) 708-6771 and we’ll walk the house with you.
We’ve worked the streets east of US-1, the neighborhoods off Ocean Avenue, and the older CBS blocks west of Dixie Highway long enough to know what the salt air does to window frames here. This isn’t a suburb where every house got built in the same decade to the same spec. Lantana’s mix of 1950s ranches and 1970s concrete block homes means every job needs a real look at the rough opening before anyone quotes a number. That’s how we do it: measure twice, quote on paper, no surprises on the bill.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Lantana’s Preferred Window Installation Company
Dale Kessler started TruePane in 2008, but the trade runs a lot deeper than that. He’s a second-generation glazier, and the rule he keeps on the whiteboard is the one that governs every install we do: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That’s not a slogan. It’s the standard our crews work to in Lantana, whether we’re replacing one corroded jalousie bank or doing a whole-house changeout.
Our reputation in Lantana comes from showing up when we say we will and doing the work right the first time. Homeowners here tend to keep their houses for decades, and they remember the contractor who left them with a fogged seal and a door that binds in July. We’re not that contractor. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they treat your house the way they’d treat their own mother’s.
A live person answers the phone when you call (561) 708-6771. Not a voicemail tree, not a callback form. Day or night, you get a human who knows windows and can schedule a real appointment to Lantana.
Our Window Installation Services in Lantana
Casement Windows
Casement windows make sense in Lantana for a lot of reasons. They seal tighter against wind-driven rain than sliding windows do, which matters when a summer squall pushes off the Atlantic. And because they crank open outward, they catch the breeze off Lake Worth Lagoon from whatever direction it comes. A typical casement replacement in Lantana runs $800-$1,600 per opening, depending on size and impact rating. We quote side-by-side on paper so you see exactly what you’re buying.
Single & Double Hung Windows
These are the workhorse of Lantana’s older homes. A double hung replacement in a 1960s CBS ranch east of US-1 usually means pulling out the original thin-frame aluminum unit, rebuilding the rough opening, and setting an impact-rated unit that actually closes square. That’s a different job than an insert replacement in a newer home. Single and double hung installs in Lantana typically run $550-$1,100 per window for inserts and $750-$1,500 for full-frame.
Fixed & Picture Windows
Fixed and picture windows are common in Lantana’s mid-century homes, especially in living rooms facing the water. The good news: they’re the simplest to seal and insulate. The catch: they need impact-rated glazing just like every other opening in a wind-borne debris region. A picture window install in Lantana runs $600-$1,400 per unit, and because there’s no moving sash, you get the most glass for your dollar.
Awning Windows
Awning windows work well in Lantana because they can stay open a crack during light rain without letting water in, and they seal up tight against wind pressure when you crank them down. They’re a common choice for small openings in kitchens and bathrooms of older CBS homes. Awning window installation in Lantana typically runs $550-$1,000 per window.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lantana
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including, PGT, and CGI. For Lantana’s specific conditions, we work a lot with PGT impact-rated lines, Simonton’s StormBreaker series, and Jeld-Wen’s impact products. Each of those carries the Miami-Dade or Florida Building Code product approvals Lantana requires. When you call us, we bring side-by-side quotes on paper for the brands that fit your openings and your budget. We don’t push one line. We show you the numbers on two or three and let you decide.
Common Window Installation Problems We See in Lantana Homes
- Salt-air corrosion eating aluminum frames from both sides. Lantana sits between the Intracoastal and the Atlantic, so salt-laden air attacks window frames from two directions. We’ve pulled frames out of homes off Ocean Avenue where the jamb crumbled in our hands, while the glass looked perfectly fine.
- Original jalousie windows that can’t be made compliant. Louvered glass panels that crank open are still common in Lantana’s older blocks. No shutter, no film, no retrofit makes them pass wind-load inspection. They have to come out and get replaced with a real impact-rated unit.
- Insert replacements over corroded frames. Some contractors will sell you an insert job on a frame that’s already rotting from salt air. That window will still leak and still fail inspection. We tell you when the frame is too far gone and a full tear-out is the honest job.
- No permit trail, no product approval documentation. Palm Beach County requires wind-load product approvals on replacement windows and doors. A cheap quote that skips the permit leaves you with no paper trail. When your insurer asks for proof of impact-rated glazing after a storm, that missing paperwork becomes your problem.

FAQs - Window Installation in Lantana
Do I really have to replace my old jalousie windows in Lantana, or can I just add shutters?
Yes, you have to replace them. Jalousie windows cannot be brought into compliance with Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris rules using any shutter, film, or retrofit product. The louvered glass design can’t hold a wind-load rating no matter what you add to it. So the shutters-only route leaves you with an opening that still fails inspection and still leaves you liable after a storm. We remove jalousies regularly in Lantana and replace them with impact-rated casement or double hung units, and we handle the permit so the paper trail is complete. Call (561) 708-6771 for an exact quote, estimates are free.
Which window brands carry the wind-load ratings Lantana requires?
PGT, Simonton, Jeld-Wen, CGI, and ES Windows all carry Florida Building Code product approvals that meet Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris requirements. PGT and CGI are the two we quote most often in Lantana because their impact lines have a long track record in coastal Florida. Not every product line from every brand is rated, so it matters which specific series you buy. We show you the approval documentation on paper before you sign anything. Call (561) 708-6771 and we’ll bring side-by-side brand quotes to your walkthrough.
How does salt air from Lake Worth Lagoon and the Atlantic actually damage window frames here?
Salt air from the Intracoastal to the west and the Atlantic to the east attacks aluminum window frames from both directions. It doesn’t just sit on the surface; it works into the jamb and sill pan where the frame meets the rough opening. Over twenty or thirty years, that corrosion eats through the aluminum from the inside out. We’ve seen Lantana homes where the glass was still intact but the frame crumbled when we removed the sash. That’s why insert replacements over old corrosive frames don’t work here; the frame itself has to go.
Will upgrading my Lantana windows change my insurance premium or claims experience?
In many cases, yes. Insurers in coastal Palm Beach County routinely ask for documentation showing replacement windows meet impact-resistance or wind-load standards after a claim. If you have that paper trail and the product approval to back it, your claim moves faster. If you don’t, the insurer may treat the opening as unprotected and adjust the payout accordingly. We register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing and file the permit with the town, so you have the documentation before we leave your driveway. Call (561) 708-6771 and we’ll explain what a compliant quote includes for your specific home.
What does a compliant window installation quote include that a cheap Lantana quote leaves out?
A compliant quote includes the permit, the wind-load product approval for the specific window line, impact-rated glazing or an approved shutter alternative, flashing and sill pan replacement, and a final inspection with the town. A cheap quote often skips the permit, uses a non-rated product, leaves the old corroded sill pan in place, and hands you no documentation. That’s exactly the quote that becomes a problem the first time an insurer asks for proof. We give you a written line-item quote with all of it. Call (561) 708-6771 for a free estimate.
Call TruePane Windows & Doors in Lantana

We’ll come out, measure every opening, quote you two or three rated lines on paper, and give you a fixed number before any work starts. Dale Kessler’s standard applies to every job we do in this town: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Call (561) 708-6771 to schedule your free estimate.
