Fast, Reliable Window Replacement Across Lantana

Window replacement in Lantana usually means one of two things: you’re replacing corroded, single-pane aluminum or jalousie windows on an older CBS home, or you’re upgrading to impact-rated glass because a permit inspection flagged non-compliant openings. Either way, the work is not off-the-shelf, and it’s not a one-day quick swap. Our crews know Lantana’s housing stock, its salt-air problem, and what inspectors in this town look for. Call (813) 320-9346 and we’ll walk you through what your house actually needs.

Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Lantana’s Preferred Window Replacement Company

We’ve worked enough homes in Lantana to know what’s behind the stucco before we open it. The bulk of this town’s residential stock is concrete-block-stucco built between the 1950s and 1970s, and a lot of those original windows were set without flashing tape and with framing that was borderline even when it was new. When you pull a permit in Lantana, the inspector will look at those openings. We plan for that before the first cut. That’s why homeowners who’ve been burned once tend to call us second.

Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 on a rule that still governs every install: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. We register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves the driveway, and every job carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise with no paperwork fights and no arguing. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to work in your home the way they’d work in their own mother’s.

We answer the phone. A live person picks up 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Not a voicemail tree, not a callback form. When a Lantana homeowner calls about a fogged seal or a window that won’t close after a storm, they get a person who can schedule a real appointment.

Our Window Replacement Services in Lantana

Full Frame Replacement

This is the work Lantana’s older homes most often need. We remove the entire existing window down to the rough opening, repair or sister any undersized or rotted framing, install new flashing tape and pan, then set a new impact-rated or energy-efficient unit. For homes in the Moorings, over near West Mango Street, and along the older east-side blocks off Ocean Avenue, full frame replacement is usually the only way to get a code-compliant opening that will hold up to salt air and hurricane wind. A typical full frame replacement in Lantana runs $900 to $2,400 per opening depending on size and glazing.

Insert Window Replacement

If your existing frames are square, structurally sound, and not corroded through, an insert replacement slips a new window into the existing frame. It’s less invasive and costs less up front, typically $550 to $1,300 per window in Lantana. But we’re honest when it’s not the right call. On a 1960s CBS bungalow where the original aluminum frame has pitted from decades of Intracoastal salt air, an insert often hides problems instead of fixing them. We’d rather tell you that before you spend the money.

Storm Window Replacement

Storm windows in Lantana are not the old removable glass panels your grandparents had. We replace aging or damaged storm units with modern impact-rated systems that meet Palm Beach County’s high-velocity hurricane zone wind load requirements. Because Lantana sits directly on the Intracoastal with the Atlantic less than two miles east, wind-driven rain and debris are a real threat on every street in town, not just canal-front parcels. Storm window replacement typically runs $350 to $900 per unit depending on size and whether the surrounding frame needs repair.

Energy-Efficient Upgrade

Replacing single-pane aluminum or jalousie windows with double-pane, low-E, argon-filled units changes how a Lantana house feels in August. Older CBS homes hold heat overnight, and old single-pane glass does nothing to stop it. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see the U-factor and solar heat gain coefficient for every option. Energy-efficient upgrades in Lantana typically range from $700 to $1,800 per window installed, and most clients notice the difference in the first full cooling season.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lantana

We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for Lantana’s coastal conditions we often recommend PGT, CGI, and Simonton impact-rated products. PGT and CGI both build glass tested for Palm Beach County wind loads, and Simonton’s vinyl lines hold up well against salt air when properly flashed and sealed. Because we stock common parts and fasteners for these lines locally, turnaround on Lantana jobs is quicker than waiting on a regional warehouse. We’ll give you side-by-side quotes on paper so you can see exactly what you’re buying before you sign.

Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Lantana Homes

• Salt-corroded aluminum frames. Lantana sits directly on the Intracoastal Waterway with the Atlantic less than two miles east, so salt-laden air reaches every street in town. Original aluminum frames from the 1950s through 1970s pit and oxidize, which breaks the seal between frame and glass, and you get fog between the panes within years instead of decades.
• Jalousie windows flagged by inspectors. Those old glass slats on 1960s bungalows east of Dixie Highway have no impact-rated glazing and no structural frame. Palm Beach County code requires bringing non-conforming openings up to current impact standards whenever a permit triggers a full inspection, so a kitchen remodel permit can turn into a mandatory window replacement you never budgeted for.
• Rotted or undersized framing behind old openings. Older Lantana CBS homes were often built without flashing tape behind window openings, and the wood bucks that framed the original units absorb moisture from decades of salt air and humidity. When we pull an old window, the framing sometimes collapses. That turns an insert job into a full frame replacement with structural repair.
• Failed threshold pans and bottom seals on doors and windows. Salt air doesn’t just corrode frames; it eats the metal pans under thresholds and degrades weatherstripping fast. If you see water staining below a window or feel a draft at the sill, the pan is likely compromised and needs replacement before the rough opening rots further.

The Lantana Inspection Surprise No One Warns You About

Here’s what actually happens on a Lantana remodel permit. You pull a permit for a kitchen renovation. The inspector walks the house. He sees jalousie windows on the east side of your 1962 CBS bungalow. Palm Beach County code says those openings must come up to current impact standards because the permit triggered a full inspection. You now have a mandatory window replacement you did not budget for. This catches Lantana homeowners off guard more than any other single issue we see, because jalousie windows are still common on older east-side blocks throughout town, and no one tells you about the trigger until the inspector is standing in your driveway.

Our contract handles this differently. Before we start any job in Lantana, we walk the openings the permit will expose and write an allowance into the contract for the work the inspector is most likely to require. Last month our crew pulled a permit for a full frame replacement on a 1962 CBS bungalow in the Moorings neighborhood off West Mango Street. The original jalousie windows had corroded aluminum frames and no flashing tape behind the stucco, and once we opened the wall we found undersized framing that had to be sistered before the new impact-rated casement units could be set. We wrote the allowance into the contract up front, so when the inspector flagged the non-conforming openings the homeowner wasn’t blindsided. Our tech replaced the rotted jambs, installed new fusion-welded frames, and flashed every opening before the stucco patch went back on.

That is the difference between a TruePane estimate and a price that moves after the wall is open. We inspect first. We write the allowance in. Any surprise that remains gets priced and approved in writing before we touch it. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.
