Fast, Reliable Sliding & Patio Doors Across Lantana
Door Installation - Lantana projects like sliding patio door replacement typically run $2,800-$6,500 installed, depending on the opening size, frame condition, and whether the wall needs block repair before the new unit goes in. Most jobs take one day once the door arrives, though older CBS homes with corroded rough openings often need a second visit for masonry work first. If you’re in Lantana and your slider binds, sags, or won’t lock, call (561) 264-1279 and a live person will answer, day or night.
We work Lantana’s older blocks constantly, and we know what’s behind those walls before we open them. The salt air between the Intracoastal and the Atlantic does things to aluminum frames that inland contractors rarely see. That’s why our Sliding & Patio Doors crew treats every Lantana job as a corrosion job until proven otherwise. You don’t need a door salesman. You need someone who knows what a 1962 CBS rough opening looks like once the old jamb comes out.

Our Sliding & Patio Doors Services in Lantana
Patio Sliding Doors
A patio sliding door in a Lantana CBS home usually means a standard 6-foot or 8-foot opening with years of salt exposure on the track and jamb, which is why Custom Windows & Doors - Lantana homeowners often need full-frame replacement. We replace the full unit when corrosion has compromised the frame, and we always quote the project with rough-opening repair in mind. If the opening is clean, a patio slider install typically runs $2,800-$4,200 here. If block patching is needed, that’s a separate line item you’ll approve before we touch it.

Panoramic Sliding Systems
For Lantana homeowners who want an open view across the Intracoastal or out toward the ocean, Window Installation - Lantana specialists like us use panoramic sliding systems that replace a standard slider with wider glass panels and a slimmer frame. In Lantana’s wind-borne debris zone, those panels must be impact-rated, which pushes a typical panoramic install to $6,000-$12,000 depending on panel count and glass rating. We’ll quote Andersen, Pella, and Marvin side by side on paper so you see exactly what you’re buying.

Heavy-Duty Sliding Doors
Heavy-duty sliding doors are the right call for Lantana’s water-facing elevations, where wind loads and salt spray demand marine-grade frames and stainless hardware. On a 1962 CBS rancher north of Hypoluxo Road, our crew found the original aluminum slider’s jamb so corroded into the block that pulling the frame tore out chunks of the rough opening. We re-anchored the block, set a marine-grade heavy-duty door with impact glazing, and flashed the threshold with code-approved tape before the inspector ever saw it. Expect $4,500-$8,000 for a heavy-duty slider in Lantana, including the masonry work that job almost always requires.

Pocket & Barn Doors
Pocket and barn doors are a practical upgrade for Lantana’s compact post-war floor plans, where swing doors eat space in small bedrooms and laundry rooms. A pocket door retrofit into a CBS interior partition wall runs $1,800-$3,200 installed, including framing and drywall repair. Barn door hardware on an existing wall is less, usually $900-$1,600. We level every track properly, because a barn door that drifts on its own gets real old, real fast.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lantana
TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and on Lantana jobs we lean toward brands engineered for coastal salt exposure: CGI, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems are the ones we quote most often for Intracoastal-facing sliders. We keep common hardware and replacement panels moving quickly for Lantana customers, and because we register every warranty in writing before we leave, you won’t get caught in a manufacturer’s fine print later. If your existing door is a PGT or Milgard, we service those too, honor the manufacturer’s warranty, and tell you straight when a repair no longer makes sense.
Common Sliding & Patio Doors Problems We See in Lantana Homes
- Salt-corroded aluminum jambs and tracks. On Intracoastal-facing sliders, oxidation eats the track and jamb until panels bind, sag, or refuse to lock. This often happens while the glass itself still looks fine, so homeowners assume it’s a simple adjustment when the frame is already gone.
- Failed opening flashing in CBS walls. Original rough openings in Lantana’s concrete block homes weren’t flashed or sealed for Florida’s wind-driven rain. Decades of moisture rot the sub-sill, and a new door can’t be set correctly until the block is patched and the opening re-flashed.
- Jalousie-era retrofit sliders lifting under wind load. Homes built in the 1950s and 60s sometimes got sliders added later, often without proper anchor bolts. Under hurricane wind loads, these doors lift or rack, cracking stucco and breaking the seal at the head.
- Fogged insulated glass on ocean-proximate elevations. Salt air accelerates seal failure in insulated glass units. In Lantana, a fogged panel on the east side of the house usually fails years before the same unit would a few miles west. We’ll tell you honestly whether a panel replacement or full door replacement makes more sense.

FAQs - Sliding & Patio Doors in Lantana
The Intracoastal and Atlantic wrap Lantana in a salt-air corridor that pushes airborne chloride onto aluminum frames year-round. A slider on the water side of Lantana can show track oxidation and seal failure within 10-15 years, while the identical door in Lake Worth, a few miles inland, might go 25 years. That’s why frame replacement, not just glass replacement, is the default job here. Marine-grade aluminum and stainless hardware extend the life, but nothing in this environment lasts like it does inland. Call (561) 264-1279 and we’ll assess your specific exposure before you spend a dollar.
A permit on any replaced exterior opening in Palm Beach County forces compliance with current wind-borne debris rules, which means impact-rated glazing or a rated shutter system. Jalousie-era openings also usually require the rough opening to be inspected and re-anchored, since many were never flashed or sealed properly. You’ll likely need block patching and a new pressure-treated sub-sill before the new door goes in. We pull the permit, handle the inspection, and write every upgrade into the quote before work starts. Call (561) 264-1279 for exact numbers on your opening.
If the corrosion is confined to the panel itself, sometimes a panel replacement works. But on most Lantana sliders, the jamb and track are corroded too, and the panel was binding because the frame underneath is shot. We’ll pull the trim, inspect the jamb, and show you what we find before we recommend anything. If the frame is salvageable, we’ll say so. If it’s not, we’ll quote the full replacement honestly. Estimates are free. Call (561) 264-1279.
If the frame is in good shape, replacing the insulated glass unit makes sense and runs roughly $400-$900 for a standard patio slider panel in Lantana. But if the frame shows oxidation or the track is worn, you’re better off replacing the whole door, because the salt air will keep working on the old frame and you’ll be back in the same spot in a few years. We’ll give you both numbers and our honest recommendation. Call (561) 264-1279 for a free estimate.
The rough opening in a CBS wall is already there if you’re replacing an existing door. If you’re adding a new opening where none existed, yes, that requires cutting the block, installing a properly sized lintel, and re-anchoring the surrounding masonry, which usually adds $1,500-$3,000 to the project. Done wrong, an undersized lintel leads to cracking above the opening. We have a structural engineer review any new opening before we cut. Call (561) 264-1279 to walk through your specific wall.
