Lantana’s position on the Intracoastal Waterway, less than two miles from the Atlantic, creates a punishing salt-air environment that destroys standard aluminum frames and corrodes hardware within a few seasons. The town’s concentration of 1950s – 1970s concrete block and stucco homes means most jobs we see involve original single-pane aluminum windows or jalousie assemblies that cannot be brought up to current Florida Building Code. Our crews are trained for masonry rough openings, not wood framing, and we specify marine-grade coatings and impact-rated glazing as a baseline, not an upgrade.
Why Lantana Homes Are Different
The housing stock in Lantana is overwhelmingly post-WWII CBS construction, compact single-story ranches built from the late 1940s through the 1970s. Many still carry their original single-pane aluminum windows or jalousie louvered assemblies. Those jalousies are a signature of the older bungalows near the water, and they present a problem with no compliant retrofit path under Florida Building Code. When we spot jalousies on a Lantana home, we know we’re having a full-opening replacement conversation, not a repair call.
The salt spray here is not theoretical. Homes east of Federal Highway, particularly in the neighborhoods between the Intracoastal and Dixie Highway, see frame oxidation and weatherstripping degradation that inland Palm Beach County communities simply don’t experience at the same rate. Combined with Palm Beach County’s adopted wind-speed design requirements, every opening in Lantana needs to be impact-rated or paired with approved storm protection. That dual burden, corrosion resistance plus code compliance, shapes every product recommendation we make.
Masonry rough openings are the norm here, not wood framing. Anchoring methods differ, stucco repair scopes are larger, and the finished detail work must blend with existing exterior textures. Our technicians carry the right fasteners and patching compounds for CBS walls, and we protect floors with drop cloths before any cutting begins.
Our Main Lantana Services
Homeowners in Lantana call us most often for these three projects, each shaped by the local conditions above.
Window Replacement in Lantana
Replacement work in Lantana almost always means pulling out original single-pane aluminum or jalousie windows and installing impact-rated vinyl or aluminum units that meet current Florida Building Code. We deal with masonry rough openings on most jobs, so stucco remediation is built into our scope, not treated as a surprise add-on. Marine-grade hardware and coated frames are standard here given the salt-air exposure. Window Replacement in Lantana covers our full process, product options, and what to expect during installation.
Window Installation in Lantana
New window installation in Lantana typically involves additions, enclosed patios, or garage conversions on the same CBS homes that dominate the area. We rough-frame into block walls, install proper moisture barriers for the coastal environment, and specify products rated for the local wind zone. Every installation includes impact-rated glazing and hardware selected for salt resistance. Window Installation in Lantana explains our approach to new openings and code compliance.
Door Installation in Lantana
Door replacement in Lantana focuses heavily on patio sliders and entry systems that have suffered frame corrosion or seal failure from salt exposure. We install Therma-Tru and PGT door systems with marine-grade thresholds and hardware, and we address the stucco integration that CBS construction requires. Impact-rated glass is standard. Door Installation in Lantana details our door options and installation process.

What Lantana Customers Say
"New patio slider. Clean install, they protected the floor and hauled off the old door. Quiet, polite crew that worked around my work calls without complaint."
- Andre Bellamy"They replaced a big foggy picture window. Careful with the furniture, laid down protection, and left no mess at all. Calm and respectful crew, and the view is clear again."
- Teresa Okafor"Replaced six windows. The crew laid runners through the house and vacuumed each room as they finished. With a crawling baby, that no mess thing meant a lot. Windows are gorgeous."
