Andersen Windows & Doors in Lantana, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We provide independent Andersen window and door service throughout Lantana, from Perma-Shield cladding repairs to full-frame impact replacements. What makes our Andersen work different here comes down to one thing: we know how salt air and 1960s block construction interact with Andersen’s specific components. Call (954) 280-4413 and you’ll reach a live person who can tell you whether that sticking Narroline sash or pitted cladding edge is a repair or a replacement before we ever send a truck.
TruePane Windows & Doors is not an Andersen-authorized dealer or manufacturer affiliate. We’re an independent service provider, which means we make repair-versus-replace calls based on what actually fails in Lantana’s conditions, not on what moves inventory. Our Andersen sales & service work spans the full lineup, and our Lantana service area coverage includes every neighborhood from the Intracoastal side to the mobile home communities off Lantana Road. If you’ve got an Andersen window or door that’s binding, clouding, corroding, or just not closing square, call (954) 280-4413.
Why Lantana Residents Choose Us for Andersen Service
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 after growing up in Fort Lauderdale’s Sailboat Bend, where his father spent weekends resealing jalousie windows against the humidity. Dale went through the construction and building trades program at McFatter Technical College in Davie, then spent the better part of two decades working glass and framing along South Florida’s coastal corridor before starting this company. That background matters when you’re looking at an Andersen 400 Series casement in Lantana and trying to decide whether the cladding split at the sill corner is cosmetic or structural.
Our crew works on Andersen systems in Lantana’s salt-air corridor every week. We know the Perma-Shield clad frames that pit at the drip edge, the Narroline glazing beads that turn brittle, and the Frenchwood hinge screws that seize in this humidity. We also know what’s worth fixing and what’s not. Independent means we’ll tell you when a sash replacement makes sense and when you’d be better off putting that money toward a full-frame impact unit. We stand behind the call either way, and both warranty layers get registered in writing before the truck leaves your driveway.
Common Andersen Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Lantana
- Perma-Shield cladding lifting at sill corners. Wind-driven salt spray from the Lake Worth Lagoon dries on the bottom corners of clad frames and leaves chloride residue behind. Within ten to fifteen years in Lantana, the aluminum cladding lifts, water gets behind it, and the wood core starts to rot. Homeowners usually notice a white chalky line or a slight bulge at the corner before they notice the rot underneath.
- Narroline double-hung sashes that bind or won’t stay up. The tilt-wash jamb liners on Narroline windows deform under Lantana’s heat and humidity cycles. The sash starts to bind in the track, and when someone forces it, the tilt pins snap. We replace the balances and jamb liners with genuine Andersen parts, and the difference is immediate.
- Frenchwood and 200 Series hardware seizing from salt corrosion. Roll pin hinges and locking levers on Frenchwood patio doors strip or seize within five to eight years in Lantana, even when the indoor-facing hardware looks fine. The corrosion starts on the hinge side where salt air sits in the channel. We replace the hardware sets with genuine Andersen service parts and lubricate the tracks with a marine-grade product suited to this environment.
- Clouded double-pane insulating glass on the Intracoastal side. Andersen IG units on homes east of Dixie Highway in Lantana fail early. Owners think the glass is just dirty, but white hazing between the panes means the argon-filled seal has failed. We replace failed IG units with US-made units matched to the original Low-E spec and grid pattern.
- Andersen casements installed in non-standard 1950s rough openings. Lantana’s CBS block homes frequently have rough openings that are a half-inch to an inch narrower than modern nominal sizes. That complicates any replacement, and we’ll get into the specifics below. Short version: we pre-order the trim and shim kits before we start the tear-out.
Andersen Service in Lantana: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s something a generic county-wide contractor page won’t tell you. Lantana’s older CBS homes have Andersen 400 Series casements and awnings sitting in rough openings that were framed by hand during the 1960s and 1970s building boom, before computerized framing made everything square and nominal. These openings are frequently a half-inch to an inch narrower than today’s impact-rated unit dimensions. Order an off-the-shelf replacement and you’ll end up with a gap at the jamb that the Palm Beach County inspector will catch and flag on the wind-mitigation form. We don’t let that happen. We bring a shim kit, pre-order the brickmould and mullion trim to pack out those openings, and measure every opening twice before any unit gets ordered. As Dale likes to say: if it is not right on paper, it will not be right on the wall.
That non-standard opening issue shows up most often in the residential blocks west of Federal Highway, where the 1950s-through-1970s construction is densest. On East Mango Street, our tech pulled a 1980s Andersen 400 Series casement where the Perma-Shield cladding had split at the bottom hinge corner. Salt air had turned the wood core to sponge. The owner wanted only a sash replacement, but the sill was punky within six inches of the corner. We did a full-frame replacement with an impact-rated A-Series unit, rebuilding the rough opening with custom one-inch pressure-treated bucks to match the original CBS dimension. The home passed Palm Beach County’s wind-mitigation inspection on the first visit. That’s the kind of job where the extra measuring and the trim kit are the difference between a clean pass and a re-inspection.
Andersen Models & Products We Service in Lantana
We work on the full Andersen lineup that shows up in Lantana homes. The 400 Series Perma-Shield casements, awnings, and gliding patio doors are the most common calls we get for Window Installation - Lantana, followed by Narroline double-hungs with the vinyl-clad exterior. We also service A-Series Architectural units with Fibrex composite or aluminum-clad exteriors, and 100 Series Fibrex single-hungs and casements. When repairs call for parts, we use genuine Andersen service components whenever they’re sold publicly: sash balances, weatherstrip sets, cladding splice pieces, hardware sets, and replacement sashes. Aftermarket substitutes rarely match the Perma-Shield finish or the Narroline jamb profile well enough to hold up in Lantana’s salt air. For out-of-warranty insulating glass failures, we install US-made IG units with matching color grids and Low-E specs. If the frame itself shows salt pitting or wood rot, we’ll tell you straight: replace the sash or the full unit. Don’t sink money into a seal repair that won’t last.
Andersen Service Pricing in Lantana
What you’ll pay for Andersen service in Lantana depends on which failure you’re dealing with. Cladding splice repairs on 400 Series units typically run lower than full sash replacements, and full-frame impact replacements sit at the top of the range for obvious reasons: more material, more labor, more trim work. We do offers: a free written repair estimate, and a maintenance check if you want us to adjust sashes, lubricate tracks, and check seals before the summer humidity sets in. Every free estimate includes a written line-item quote with both warranty layers stated in writing.
We’ll never hit you with a change order you didn’t see coming. The quote we put on paper is what you pay. Call (954) 280-4413 to schedule your free estimate, and ask about the permanent 5% discount for seniors and veterans.

FAQs - Andersen Windows & Doors in Lantana
Yes, in most cases we can replace the cladding splice pieces, hinge sets, or locking hardware on Perma-Shield windows without replacing the whole unit, as long as the wood core underneath is still solid. The deciding factor in Lantana is whether salt water has already gotten behind the cladding into the frame. If the wood core is soft, a cladding repair will just trap moisture and rot faster. Call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll inspect it before you spend anything.
That clouding is a failed insulating glass unit. The seal around the argon-filled gap between the two panes has broken down, and humid air is now sitting between the glass. In Lantana, homes east of Dixie Highway see this failure earlier because the constant salt air pressure and temperature swings stress the seal. The fix is a new IG unit, not a cleaning. Call (954) 280-4413 for an exact quote; estimates are free.
Yes. Lantana sits within the wind-borne debris region of Palm Beach County, which means any replacement window or door must meet Florida Building Code impact requirements regardless of which side of the house it faces. There’s no lee-side exemption for replacement work. We’ll tell you which impact-rated Andersen or equivalent unit fits your openings and your budget for Door Installation - Lantana, and we’ll pull the permit so the inspection is clean.
We measure the actual rough opening, not just the visible frame, and we account for the half-inch to one-inch undersizing that’s common in Lantana’s hand-framed CBS construction. Then we pre-order trim, brickmould, and shim stock before the tear-out starts. That way the impact unit fits square and the county inspector sees a proper, sealed installation. Call (954) 280-4413 if you’ve been told your openings are too odd for off-the-shelf units. They usually aren’t; they just need a crew that’s done it before.
Usually it’s the hinges, specifically the roll pin hinges that have corroded from salt air and thrown the door out of alignment. The slab itself is rarely the problem unless it’s absorbed moisture. We start by replacing the hinge sets with genuine Andersen hardware and re-aligning the frame. If the deadbolt still won’t line up after that, then we look at the frame. Call (954) 280-4413 for an inspection; the estimate is free.
