AfterFast, Reliable Windows & Doors Across Lantana
Window replacement in Lantana typically runs $4,500 to $15,000 for a full home, and impact window installation ranges $8,000 to $25,000 depending on how many openings you have. Most Lantana homeowners we work with are replacing original builder-grade windows from the 2003 to 2015 build-out, and the biggest variable is whether the Architectural Review Committee requires design changes. If you’re east of FM 407 or near the Bandera neighborhood, you already know the ARC process is part of almost every exterior job. Call Barrett & Sons Construction at (877) 610-1318 and Tom Barrett will walk you through what your specific home needs.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Lantana’s Preferred Windows & Doors Company
We have replaced, retrofitted, and upgraded windows and doors on homes across Lantana since the community’s earliest phases, and the crew knows the difference between a 2008 tract home off Stacee Lane and a 2014 build near the golf club. That matters because the ARC requirements differ by phase, and so do the original window packages. Tom Barrett and his sons run the crews themselves, not subcontracted labor, and they are on site most days. When a Lantana homeowner calls about a binding patio door or a failed window seal, the person who walks the job is the same person whose name is on the contract.
Every barrel of this work gets documented the way Lantana homeowners actually want it: the scope in writing, the allowances in writing, every change order in writing before a single window comes out. That is not a slogan. It is how we have operated since 1998. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, which is why we pull the Denton County permit and coordinate the ARC approval on every job that needs it. And when the job is finished, the 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on the contract. If something isn’t right, one call brings Tom back. No fine print, no phone tree.
Our Windows & Doors Services in Lantana
Window Installation
New window installation in Lantana usually means one of two things: replacing an original window that failed, or adding windows somewhere the builder never put one. Both go through the ARC if the exterior is visible from the street or from a neighboring lot. We submit the material spec, the mullion pattern, the glass reflectivity, and the frame color before we order anything, because returning custom windows after a denial is a mistake no one should pay for. Installation itself is typically two to four days for a full home, weather depending.
Door Installation
Front doors, side lites, and transoms on Lantana homes need the same ARC treatment. A new front door can run from a simple slab replacement to a full pre-hung unit with new sidelites and hardware. Homes on post-tension slabs, which is nearly all of Lantana, often show door frame racking from seasonal clay movement. We re-square the rough opening before hanging the new door, because shimming a warped frame just transfers the bind to the latch. The door will stick again in six months.
Window Replacement
This is the most common job we do in Lantana, and it usually starts with a homeowner noticing heat gain in a west-facing room or condensation between the panes. Original builder windows from the 2000s were aluminum-framed single-hungs with low-E coatings that have since failed. We replace them with fiberglass or premium vinyl double-hungs sized to the existing rough openings, which keeps the ARC review simpler and the installation faster. A full replacement on a typical 2,400-square-foot Lantana home runs $4,500 to $15,000 depending on count, size, and whether you upgrade to impact-rated glass.
Impact Windows & Doors
Lantana sits far enough from the Gulf that hurricane impact ratings are not a code mandate, but that does not mean they are a bad idea here. The 2021 winter storm exposed how many 2000s-era exterior envelopes leak heat and let drafts through original window and door penetrations. Impact-rated units come with laminated glass and heavier frames that also cut road noise from FM 407 and the surrounding thoroughfares. They run $8,000 to $25,000 installed on a typical Lantana home, and the ARC approval usually goes smoother when you can show the impact rating as a functional upgrade rather than a purely aesthetic change.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lantana
We order and install windows and doors from brands you can look up, not mystery units off a van. For Lantana homes we regularly work with Andersen and Marvin on the window side, and we have long relationships with local millwork suppliers for custom door units when the ARC wants a specific stile width or glass pattern. We do not service Techo-Bloc, Cambridge Pavers, Oldcastle, or Quikrete on this side of the business, since those are hardscape materials, but our Windows & Doors team keeps a running inventory of common replacement glass, rollers, thresholds, and hardware for Lantana’s most common original window brands. That cuts a lot of wait time on repairs.
Common Windows & Doors Problems We See in Lantana Homes
- Failed builder-grade flashing. Original window flashing from the 2003-2015 build-out degrades under North Texas UV and hail, and the first sign is often not a visible leak. Water tracks down the inside of the wall, rots the subfloor, and only shows as a stain months after the damage started. When we pull an old window in Lantana, we inspect the rough opening with a moisture meter before the new unit goes in.
- Racked door frames from clay soil movement. Post-tension slabs are nearly universal in Lantana, but that slab still moves with the Blackland Prairie’s shrink-swell clay. Nails in the threshold pop, the latch misses the strike plate, and the door binds at the top. Re-hanging without re-squaring the opening makes it worse. We square first, then hang.
- Sliding patio door roller and sill failure. Original tract-home sliders lose roller adjustment and leak at the sill during spring thunderstorms, and most of those doors are past their 15-year builder warranty by now. The repair becomes a change-order-level job once the sill pan is rotted. We catch these earlier when homeowners call at the first sign of a sticky door or a wet carpet edge.
- ARC non-compliance on prior replacements. We see homes where a previous contractor put in a door or window without ARC approval, and now the homeowner is trying to sell and the title company flags it. Lantana and Lantana HOA rules give the ARC the power to require correction, and retroactive approval can be harder than doing it right the first time. If you are unsure whether a prior job was approved, Tom will review it with you.

FAQs - Windows & Doors in Lantana
Yes. The Lantana Architectural Review Committee requires approval for any visible exterior change, even if the replacement door is visually identical to the original. The ARC reviews material, color, mullion pattern, and glass reflectivity regardless of whether you are “just matching what was there.” They also want to see the manufacturer spec sheet. Approval typically adds 2 to 4 weeks before installation. Call (877) 610-1318 and we will prepare the ARC submittal as part of your estimate, so you are not waiting on paperwork alone.
The ARC does not publish a single pre-approved list for the whole community. Approvals are phase-specific, meaning a window style accepted on a 2006 home off Stacee Lane might be flagged on a 2014 home near the golf club. That said, fiberglass and premium vinyl double-hungs with low-E glass and bronze or tan frames have the highest success rate, because they match the original palette most builders used during the build-out. We submit ARC drawings with every window job, and we have not had a denial on a standard low-E replacement in the past several years of Lantana work. Call (877) 610-1318 and we will tell you upfront what your phase’s reviewer tends to look for.
Maybe. Lantana homes sit on post-tension slabs, and cutting a new opening in a load-bearing wall can require both a structural engineer’s letter and a cable-locating scan before anyone touches concrete or framing. The original builder’s warranty is likely expired on a 2003-2015 home, but even if it is not, any unpermitted structural change voids it. The right sequence is: scan for tensioned cables, have an engineer size the header, submit to the ARC, then pull the Denton County permit. We handle all of that in order. Call (877) 610-1318 for a site visit and a written scope.
On a door that age, replacement is almost always the better move, and the answer is short: a warped slab cannot be un-warped. You can plane and re-weatherstrip it for $200 to $500, but the warp will progress and you will repeat that every couple of years. A new pre-hung fiberglass or steel door in Lantana runs roughly $1,200 to $3,500 installed, and the ARC approval is straightforward if you match the original color and panel profile. We will quote both options honestly, but if the door is straight and the issue is a racked frame from slab movement, we will re-square the opening instead of pushing a new unit you do not need.
Get everything in writing before the first window is ordered. That means the exact window brand and series, the ARC submittal dates, the permit fee, the lead time, and the installation window all listed on the contract. The most common Lantana change-order fight is over “unforeseen rot” discovered when old windows come out. Our contracts include a written repair-rate schedule for rotted jambs, sill pans, and subfloor sheathing, so when we open a wall and find damage, you already know what the fix costs per linear foot. No surprises. That is the standard at Barrett & Sons Construction. Call (877) 610-1318 and we will send a written estimate you can hold us to.
