We’re Sightline Windows & Doors, independently owned and operated under the Haven Standard since 2012. Our crews serve Lantana from the brand’s South Florida office, and we’ve learned that homes in this two-square-mile town present conditions out-of-area estimators consistently misprice.
Why Lantana Homes Are Different
Lantana’s extraordinarily compact footprint - roughly two square miles straddling the Intracoastal Waterway - means virtually every home in town sits within a few blocks of salt water, placing the entire housing stock in an aggressive corrosion environment that larger neighboring cities experience only in their waterfront fringe. Every window and door project here must treat salt-air degradation of frames, hardware, and seals as a baseline assumption, not an exception, and impact-rated, marine-grade products are functionally non-negotiable.
The residential core is dominated by modest 1950s-1970s concrete block stucco homes, many retaining original jalousie windows that provide zero hurricane resistance and are non-compliant under current Palm Beach County codes when a permit is pulled. Local contractors know the aluminum frames on those jalousie windows are often so corroded into the original masonry that removal requires saw-cutting the block itself, adding labor cost that estimators unfamiliar with Lantana’s housing stock routinely miss. Situated in the county’s 160+ mph design wind-speed zone, any permitted replacement requires Florida Product Approval impact-rated products. Year-round salt-laden humidity accelerates seal failure and hardware corrosion far faster than even 20 miles inland.
Our Main Lantana Services
Most calls we field from Lantana homeowners center on two needs: replacing original jalousie windows with code-compliant impact-rated units, and upgrading entry points to withstand the town’s aggressive salt-air environment. Here is where those projects live on our site.
Window Replacement in Lantana
Full-frame window replacement in Lantana means dealing with corroded aluminum jambs fused to 1960s masonry, not simple insert retrofits. We measure every opening, document the frame condition with photos you keep, and specify impact-rated replacements from PGT or CGI that satisfy Palm Beach County permitting. Window Replacement in Lantana covers the complete process, from jalousie removal to final inspection.
Impact Windows & Doors in Lantana
Every opening in Lantana’s 160+ mph wind zone needs Florida Product Approval, not just coastal properties. We specify laminated glass and reinforced frames from ES Windows or ECO Window Systems, with hardware rated for salt-air exposure. The measured survey notes your home’s exposure to Intracoastal winds, and the written quote reflects that specification. Impact Windows & Doors in Lantana details product tiers and code compliance.
Sliding & Patio Doors in Lantana
Lantana’s compact lots often mean patio doors face directly onto the Intracoastal or canal frontage, taking the full brunt of salt spray and wind. We install multi-point lock systems with marine-grade stainless hardware and impact-rated laminated glass, measured to the exact sightline of your opening. Sliding & Patio Doors in Lantana covers track systems, drainage, and wind-load ratings.

AfterWindow Installation in Lantana
Window installation in Lantana means working with 1950s-1970s concrete block stucco homes where original jalousie windows have corroded into the masonry, and where the 160+ mph design wind-speed zone makes impact-rated products mandatory for any permitted replacement. Salt-laden air from the Intracoastal accelerates frame degradation, so we specify marine-grade hardware and document every opening’s condition before quoting. Our Window Installation hub explains the full measured-survey process.
Single & Double Hung Windows
Signs you need it
Your jalousie windows rattle in a breeze, the aluminum frames show white corrosion bloom, or you’ve received a wind-mitigation report noting non-compliant openings.
What it costs in Lantana
Single and double hung impact-rated window installation in Lantana typically ranges $750-$1,350 per opening, with full-frame replacement on corroded masonry at the higher end.
How we do it
We photograph the existing frame, measure the rough opening to the masonry, saw-cut corroded aluminum if necessary, install the new unit with marine-grade fasteners, seal with backer rod and polyurethane, and photograph the completed installation for your record.
Horizontal Roller Windows
Signs you need it
Your current sliders stick in the track, the rollers have seized from salt corrosion, or the locking mechanism no longer engages against wind pressure.
What it costs in Lantana
Horizontal roller impact window installation in Lantana typically runs $850-$1,450 per opening, depending on frame condition and whether the block requires repair.
How we do it
We remove the sash and frame, inspect the sill pan for drainage integrity, install the new roller unit with stainless hardware, verify the lock engages flush, and test operation under load before documenting the finished sightline.
What Window Installation Costs in Lantana
| Item | Typical range in Lantana |
|---|---|
| Single/Double Hung (impact-rated, full-frame) | $750-$1,350 |
| Horizontal Roller (impact-rated, full-frame) | $850-$1,450 |
| 3-Panel Sliding Window (impact-rated) | $1,200-$2,100 |
Do you pull permits for window replacement in Lantana?
Yes. Palm Beach County requires a building permit for any window replacement that changes the frame or glazing type, and we pull and close out every permit as standard practice under Haven Clause 1. Call (561) 354-3861 and we’ll confirm whether your specific scope triggers permitting.
How long does window installation take in Lantana?
Most Lantana homes see 6-10 openings completed in two to three days, though corroded jalousie frames requiring saw-cut removal can extend that timeline. We give you the schedule in writing before work starts, not an estimate. Call (561) 354-3861 for a specific timeline based on your openings.
Door Installation in Lantana
Door installation in Lantana confronts the same salt-air reality as windows, with the added load of being the primary security and wind-barrier point of entry. Original slab doors on 1960s CBS homes often sit in corroded steel frames with no impact rating, and the 160+ mph wind zone means any permitted replacement must carry Florida Product Approval. Our Door Installation hub details the measured survey for entry systems.
Hurricane-Proof Front & Entry Doors
Signs you need it
Your front door shows rust at the sill, the deadbolt no longer seats flush, or your wind-mitigation inspection flagged the entry as non-compliant.
What it costs in Lantana
Hurricane-rated entry door installation in Lantana typically ranges $1,800-$3,500, including impact-rated slab, reinforced frame, and multi-point lock hardware.
How we do it
We measure the rough opening to the masonry, remove the existing frame noting any block damage, install the new impact-rated unit with stainless fasteners, verify the multi-point lock engages at all three points, and photograph the completed assembly for your record.
French & Double Doors
Signs you need it
Your French doors leak during storms, the astragal has warped from humidity, or the inactive panel no longer seals against wind-driven rain.
What it costs in Lantana
French and double door installation in Lantana typically runs $2,400-$4,200 for impact-rated units with laminated glass and marine-grade hardware.
How we do it
We survey both panels for square and plumb, remove the existing unit including the astragal, install the new double-door system with adjustable hinges and multi-point locks, verify the meeting stile seals under pressure, and document the sightline and operation.
What Door Installation Costs in Lantana
| Item | Typical range in Lantana |
|---|---|
| Hurricane-Proof Entry Door (impact-rated, full-frame) | $1,800-$3,500 |
| French & Double Doors (impact-rated) | $2,400-$4,200 |
| Replacement Storm Door (aluminum, non-impact) | $650-$1,100 |
Do I need an impact-rated front door in Lantana?
Yes, if you are replacing the door under permit in Palm Beach County’s 160+ mph zone. Florida Product Approval is required, and we specify Therma-Tru impact-rated slabs with reinforced frames as standard. Call (561) 354-3861 to review your current door’s compliance status.
Can you match my stucco after door replacement?
We coordinate stucco patching as part of every full-frame door installation, with texture matching to Lantana’s common sand-float or dash finishes included in the written scope. Call (561) 354-3861 and we’ll note your finish type during the measured survey.
Energy-Efficient Windows in Lantana
Energy-efficient windows in Lantana face a paradox: the same salt-air environment that demands impact-rated laminated glass also creates thermal bridging through corroded aluminum frames, driving cooling loads higher than inland homes of similar vintage. Upgrading from original jalousie or single-pane units to low-E, argon-filled impact windows cuts solar heat gain while satisfying the wind-load code. Our Energy-Efficient Windows hub breaks down performance metrics.
Low-E & Argon Gas Glass
Signs you need it
Your west-facing rooms overheat by mid-afternoon, your AC runs continuously, or you’ve noticed fading on floors and furnishings near windows.
What it costs in Lantana
Low-E argon-filled impact window installation in Lantana typically ranges $850-$1,550 per opening, with the low-E coating and gas fill adding $80-$150 over standard laminated glass.
How we do it
We specify the appropriate SHGC and U-factor for your exposure, order the coated glass from ECO Window Systems or ES Windows, verify the argon fill rate at delivery, and document the performance label in your photo record.
Insulated Laminated Glass
Signs you need it
You want impact protection plus thermal performance, your current windows transmit street noise, or you’re replacing units on the Intracoastal side where temperature swings are greatest.
What it costs in Lantana
Insulated laminated glass window installation in Lantana typically runs $950-$1,750 per opening, combining dual-pane construction with impact-rated interlayer.
How we do it
We measure for the thicker insulated unit, verify the frame depth accommodates the additional glazing thickness, install with compression seals rated for thermal cycling, and confirm no glass-to-metal contact that would transmit noise or heat.
What Energy-Efficient Windows Costs in Lantana
| Item | Typical range in Lantana |
|---|---|
| Low-E & Argon Gas (impact-rated, full-frame) | $850-$1,550 |
| Insulated Laminated Glass (impact-rated) | $950-$1,750 |
| UV-Blocking Tinted Glass (impact-rated) | $900-$1,600 |
Will energy-efficient windows lower my cooling bill in Lantana?
Yes. Replacing original jalousie or single-pane windows with low-E argon impact units typically reduces solar heat gain by 40-60% on west and south exposures, the dominant cooling load in Lantana’s climate. Call (561) 354-3861 for a load calculation tied to your specific openings.
Do energy-efficient windows still qualify as impact-rated?
All energy-efficient windows we install in Lantana carry Florida Product Approval for the 160+ mph zone; the low-E coating and argon fill are added to laminated impact glass, not substituted for it. Call (561) 354-3861 to verify the rating label on any product we specify.
Impact Garage Doors in Lantana
Impact garage doors in Lantana protect the largest single opening in most homes, yet original doors on 1960s-1970s CBS construction often lack wind-load rating entirely. A failed garage door in a 160+ mph event pressurizes the structure, and Lantana’s compact footprint means neighboring homes can amplify wind turbulence. Our Impact Garage Doors hub covers wind-load engineering and installation protocol.
Hurricane-Rated Garage Doors
Signs you need it
Your garage door lacks a wind-load sticker, the panels flex visibly in wind, or your wind-mitigation inspection noted the door as non-compliant.
What it costs in Lantana
Hurricane-rated garage door installation in Lantana typically ranges $2,200-$4,500 for a standard two-car opening, including reinforced track, heavy-duty springs, and impact-rated panels.
How we do it
We measure the opening and note the structural connection to the CBS wall, specify the appropriate wind-load rating for your exposure, install the reinforced door with strengthened track and spring system, and verify the automatic reverse functions under load.
Wind-Load Code Compliance
Signs you need it
You’re selling the home and the buyer’s inspection flagged the garage door, your insurance renewal requires wind-mitigation updates, or you’re replacing the door under permit.
What it costs in Lantana
Wind-load code compliance upgrades for existing garage doors in Lantana typically run $800-$1,800 if the door itself is serviceable and only the track, springs, and hardware need reinforcement.
How we do it
We inspect the existing door panels for structural integrity, replace the track with reinforced steel, upgrade to heavy-duty torsion springs rated for the wind load, install vertical reinforcement posts if required, and document the compliance label for your record.
What Impact Garage Doors Costs in Lantana
| Item | Typical range in Lantana |
|---|---|
| Hurricane-Rated Garage Door (two-car, full replacement) | $2,200-$4,500 |
| Wind-Load Code Compliance Upgrade (hardware/track) | $800-$1,800 |
| Energy-Efficient Garage Door (insulated, impact-rated) | $2,800-$5,200 |
Does my garage door need to be impact-rated in Lantana?
Yes. Palm Beach County’s 160+ mph zone requires Florida Product Approval for any garage door replacement under permit, and most original doors in Lantana’s 1960s-1970s housing stock predate that standard. Call (561) 354-3861 to verify your current door’s rating from the existing label.
Can you reinforce my existing garage door instead of replacing it?
Sometimes. If the panels are structurally sound and the manufacturer offers a reinforcement kit for your model, we can upgrade track, springs, and hardware to meet wind-load requirements at lower cost than full replacement. Call (561) 354-3861 for an inspection and written options.
Custom & Geometric Windows in Lantana
Custom and geometric windows in Lantana solve the problem of replacing non-standard openings in mid-century homes where original jalousie banks, arched transoms, or geometric accent windows cannot be matched with stock units. Salt-air corrosion often hits these specialty frames hardest, as they’re frequently single units with no redundancy in the seal system. Our Custom & Geometric Windows hub details the templating and manufacturing process.
Geometric & Shaped Windows
Signs you need it
Your triangular, octagonal, or circular window leaks, the frame shows corrosion at the joints, or you’ve been told the shape is “no longer made.”
What it costs in Lantana
Geometric and shaped window installation in Lantana typically ranges $1,400-$2,800 per opening, with templating and custom manufacturing adding 3-4 weeks to the schedule.
How we do it
We create a physical template of the existing opening, specify laminated impact-rated glass cut to the geometry, fabricate the frame from marine-grade aluminum or vinyl, install with custom flashing to match the stucco profile, and photograph the finished sightline for your record.
Arched & Curved Windows
Signs you need it
Your arched transom has separated from the wall, the curved frame has flattened from corrosion, or the original unit was removed and boarded over.
What it costs in Lantana
Arched and curved window installation in Lantana typically runs $1,800-$3,200 per opening, with radius construction requiring specialized jamb fabrication and extended lead times.
How we do it
We measure the radius and springline of the arch, specify tempered or laminated curved glass from Mr-Glass or ViewLux, fabricate the curved frame with reinforced mullions, install with pre-formed flashing kits, and verify the seal integrity under hose-test simulation.
What Custom & Geometric Windows Costs in Lantana
| Item | Typical range in Lantana |
|---|---|
| Geometric & Shaped Windows (impact-rated, custom) | $1,400-$2,800 |
| Arched & Curved Windows (impact-rated, custom) | $1,800-$3,200 |
| Oversized Openings (impact-rated, custom engineered) | $2,500-$5,000 |
How long do custom windows take to manufacture for Lantana?
Most custom geometric windows require 4-6 weeks from template approval to delivery, with arched or curved units at the longer end. We build that timeline into your written scope, with no change orders if manufacturing extends. Call (561) 354-3861 to start templating.
Can you match my custom window to the original 1960s design?
We template from the existing opening and fabricate to that exact sightline, though we upgrade the glazing and frame materials to current impact-rated, salt-air-resistant specifications. Call (561) 354-3861 to review your specific geometry and material options.
Brands We Service in Lantana
We specify from eight manufacturer lines - PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux - selected by what your opening requires, not by what is in stock. For Lantana’s salt-air environment, we favor marine-grade hardware from ES Windows and ECO Window Systems, with Therma-Tru entry systems and Mr-Glass custom geometries when the project demands. Most replacement parts are stocked regionally, with standard units available in 2-3 weeks and custom orders in 4-6. See our brands for full specifications.
