AfterConstruction in Lantana, FL
Roofing in Lantana typically runs $400 for targeted repairs up to $20,000 for full replacement on the flat and low-slope homes that dominate this Intracoastal town. We’re Rowan Construction Group, and we quote every job with a written price before work starts - call (561) 475-3903 to schedule your free estimate. Our crews handle the dual permitting burden that Lantana’s flood zone and wind-load requirements create, so nothing stalls once we begin.
Why Lantana Homes Are Different
Lantana sits on roughly three square miles pressed against the Intracoastal Waterway, which means an unusually high share of its land area falls within FEMA AE special flood hazard zones while also sitting inside the marine salt-air corrosion envelope. Nearly every permitted construction project here triggers both Palm Beach County wind-load compliance and FEMA flood-elevation requirements - a dual burden that inland communities in the county rarely face together.
The housing stock is predominantly concrete block and stucco construction from the 1950s through the early 1970s, built before modern hurricane tie-down standards were codified. Many of these homes have flat or low-slope roofs that lack current code-compliant roof-to-wall strapping, plus aging embedded rebar actively corroding from the brackish, salt-laden environment. Lantana operates its own small municipal building department rather than routing through unincorporated Palm Beach County, so experienced local contractors know that pulling permits and scheduling inspections moves on a tighter, more relationship-driven timeline. Any structural work within a few blocks of the waterway automatically triggers a concurrent flood-zone elevation certificate review, which catches out-of-town crews off guard.
Our Main Lantana Services
Most Lantana homeowners who call us start with one of these three projects:
Kitchen Remodeling in Lantana
Kitchen remodels in Lantana often involve opening up the compact floor plans common in 1960s CBS homes while addressing moisture intrusion from the humid, salt-air environment. We specify KraftMaid or Wellborn cabinets with marine-grade finishes, and we pull permits through Lantana’s municipal building department with the flood-elevation documentation already prepared. Every quote includes a written scope and flat price before demolition begins. Kitchen Remodeling in Lantana
Bathroom Remodeling in Lantana
Bathroom work here means managing ventilation in small, original layouts and selecting fixtures that withstand the corrosion that ruins standard hardware within a few years. We install Kohler and Toto fixtures with finishes rated for coastal exposure, and we document the substrate condition - the concrete block, any previous membrane failures, the state of the cast-iron or PVC drains - with photos you receive before we start.

Home Additions & ADU in Lantana
Adding square footage in Lantana requires navigating FEMA flood-zone elevation certificates alongside standard structural permits, and any ADU or garage conversion near the Intracoastal faces stricter scrutiny than inland equivalents. We source modular options from Plant Prefab and Tuff Shed where site constraints make traditional stick-built additions impractical, and we quote the full project - including elevation compliance and tie-down engineering - as a single written price.

BeforeAfterRoofing in Lantana
Lantana’s flat and low-slope roofs from the 1950s-1970s housing stock were built before current hurricane tie-down standards, and the salt air accelerates corrosion of fasteners and flashing faster than even a few miles inland. We routinely find embedded rebar corrosion and failed roof-to-wall strapping when we inspect these homes, and we specify hot-dipped galvanized or stainless hardware where standard crews would not. Roofing work here demands familiarity with both Palm Beach County wind-load requirements and Lantana’s municipal permit timeline.
Roof Repair
Signs you need it
Water stains on ceiling drywall, granules collecting in gutters, or lifted flashing at parapet walls on flat roofs all signal that the salt-air corrosion has compromised the membrane or fasteners.
What it costs in Lantana
Roof repair in Lantana typically ranges from $400 to $1,800, with tile roof repairs running $600 to $2,500 depending on whether the underlayment or battens also need replacement.
How we do it
We photograph the full roof condition, remove the failed membrane or damaged tiles down to the substrate, replace any corroded fasteners with hot-dipped galvanized or stainless equivalents, install new underlayment rated for the exposure, and finish with a documented photo record of the completed repair.
Roof Replacement & Installation
Signs you need it
Multiple leak locations, visible sagging of the roof deck, or an original roof past 25 years on a flat or low-slope system means replacement is more economical than continued patching.
What it costs in Lantana
Standard roof replacement in Lantana runs $8,000 to $20,000, while metal roof installation ranges from $15,000 to $40,000 depending on gauge, finish, and the structural upgrades often needed on pre-1980 homes.
How we do it
We strip to the deck, document all substrate conditions with photos you receive, install code-compliant roof-to-wall strapping where the original construction lacks it, apply new underlayment and finish material, and pass Lantana municipal and Palm Beach County inspections before final payment.
What Roofing Costs in Lantana
| Item | Typical range in Lantana |
|---|---|
| Roof Repair | $400 - $1,800 |
| Roof Replacement | $8,000 - $20,000 |
| Metal Roof Installation | $15,000 - $40,000 |
How long does a roof replacement take in Lantana?
Most residential roof replacements in Lantana take three to five working days, though homes requiring structural strapping upgrades or flood-elevation documentation may add two to three days for permit coordination. Call (561) 475-3903 for a written timeline with your estimate.
Will my roof replacement need flood-zone approval?
Homes within FEMA AE zones near the Intracoastal require elevation certificate review concurrent with structural permits, which we coordinate through Lantana’s building department as part of our standard process. Call (561) 475-3903 and we’ll confirm your property’s requirements before quoting.
Windows & Doors in Lantana
The 1950s-1970s CBS homes in Lantana were built with single-pane aluminum windows and hollow-core exterior doors that offer minimal protection against hurricane-force winds and no resistance to the salt-air corrosion that pits frames within seasons. Palm Beach County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone-adjacent standards mean that replacement windows and doors must meet specific impact and pressure ratings, and Lantana’s municipal inspectors verify these ratings at final inspection. Windows & Doors work here is as much about code compliance and corrosion resistance as it is about aesthetics.
Window Replacement
Signs you need it
Corroded aluminum frames, fogged insulated glass units, or windows that rattle in moderate winds indicate the original installation has failed under salt-air exposure.
What it costs in Lantana
Window replacement in Lantana typically runs $4,500 to $15,000 for a full-home project, with impact window installation ranging from $8,000 to $25,000 depending on opening count and structural reinforcement needs.
How we do it
We measure each opening to 1/8-inch tolerance, specify vinyl or aluminum-clad frames with stainless fasteners rated for marine exposure, install with proper shimming and anchoring to meet HVHZ pressure requirements, and document the installation with photos before and after.
Impact Windows & Doors
Signs you need it
Insurance discounts requiring documented impact protection, or original windows and doors that failed during recent tropical storms, mean impact-rated products are the practical upgrade.
What it costs in Lantana
Impact window installation for a typical Lantana home runs $8,000 to $25,000, with door replacements falling within the overall window project or quoted separately depending on the opening configuration.
How we do it
We source products with Miami-Dade County Notice of Acceptance or Florida Product Approval, submit the documentation with Lantana permit applications, install with corrosion-resistant fasteners and proper sealants, and provide the certification paperwork your insurer requires.
What Windows & Doors Costs in Lantana
| Item | Typical range in Lantana |
|---|---|
| Window Replacement | $4,500 - $15,000 |
| Impact Window Installation | $8,000 - $25,000 |
| Door Installation (as part of project) | Included in window scope or quoted per opening |
Do I need impact windows or just shutters in Lantana?
Impact windows provide permanent protection without deployment, meet the strictest insurance discounts, and eliminate the corrosion and storage issues that shutters face in salt-air environments. Call (561) 475-3903 for a written comparison of impact window costs versus shutter alternatives for your specific openings.
How do you prevent salt corrosion on new window frames?
We specify 316-grade stainless fasteners, marine-rated sealants, and either vinyl frames or aluminum-clad products with coastal-compatible finishes - never bare aluminum in this environment. Call (561) 475-3903 and we’ll show you the hardware specifications in your written quote.
Fence Installation in Lantana
Fencing in Lantana faces the same salt-air corrosion that attacks roofs and windows, with the added complication that many homes sit on compact lots where setback requirements and flood-zone restrictions limit placement options. We regularly see wood fences rotting at the base from salt-laden soil and aluminum fences pitting at the fasteners within two to three years of installation by crews who specified standard hardware. Fence Installation here requires marine-grade materials and familiarity with Lantana’s municipal setback and height restrictions.
Vinyl Fence
Signs you need it
A wood fence with base rot, or a desire for privacy without the maintenance of painting or staining in a salt-air environment, makes vinyl the practical replacement.
What it costs in Lantana
Vinyl fence installation in Lantana typically ranges from $3,500 to $9,000 depending on height, linear footage, and whether the posts require augering through coral or shell substrate common near the Intracoastal.
How we do it
We locate utilities, set posts in concrete rated for the soil conditions, attach rails and pickets with stainless fasteners, and verify the installation against Lantana’s setback and height codes before final walkthrough.
Aluminum Fence
Signs you need it
Ornamental perimeter fencing with open sightlines suits pool enclosures and front yards where code requires non-climbable barriers but homeowners want visibility.
What it costs in Lantana
Aluminum fence installation in Lantana runs $4,000 to $10,000, with powder-coated products and stainless hardware specified to resist the salt-air corrosion that destroys standard aluminum installations.
How we do it
We lay out the line with post spacing engineered for wind exposure, set posts in concrete with proper drainage, attach panels with concealed stainless fasteners, and document the completed fence with photos showing gate operation and latch height compliance.
What Fence Installation Costs in Lantana
| Item | Typical range in Lantana |
|---|---|
| Vinyl Fence Installation | $3,500 - $9,000 |
| Aluminum Fence Installation | $4,000 - $10,000 |
| Wood Fence Installation | Quoted per project based on pressure-treatment grade and hardware spec |
Does my fence need flood-zone approval in Lantana?
Fences in FEMA AE zones require permits that document the structure does not obstruct flood flows, which Lantana’s building department reviews concurrently with standard zoning approval. Call (561) 475-3903 and we’ll verify your property’s requirements and include any needed documentation in your written quote.
How long does a vinyl fence last near the Intracoastal?
Properly installed vinyl fencing with stainless fasteners and concrete footings above the salt-water table typically lasts 20 to 30 years in Lantana’s environment, versus 5 to 8 years for wood with standard hardware. Call (561) 475-3903 for material specifications and a written price before work starts.
Driveway & Pavers in Lantana
The original driveways in Lantana’s 1950s-1970s housing stock were typically thin-set concrete or asphalt laid without proper base preparation, and decades of salt-air exposure plus hurricane-season saturation have left many cracked, settled, or undermined by the poor drainage common on flat coastal lots. We regularly find that replacement requires addressing the substrate - the compacted base, the edge restraints, and the drainage path - before any new surface will survive. Driveway & Pavers work here is as much about what lies beneath as what you drive on.
Paver Driveways
Signs you need it
Cracked or settled concrete with standing water after rain, or a desire for a surface that can be repaired sectionally rather than replaced entirely, points to pavers as the upgrade.
What it costs in Lantana
Paver driveway installation in Lantana typically runs $7,000 to $18,000, with Belgard and Techo-Bloc products specified for colorfastness and edge stability in the salt-air, high-rainfall environment.
How we do it
We excavate to proper depth, install and compact a crushed stone base with geotextile separation where the soil is sandy or shell-based, set edge restraints in concrete, lay pavers in the chosen pattern with polymeric sand, and compact to lock the surface before final documentation.
Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
Signs you need it
Alligator cracking, significant settlement creating trip hazards, or spalling from salt exposure and freeze-thaw cycles means the original concrete has reached the end of its service life.
What it costs in Lantana
Concrete driveway installation in Lantana ranges from $4,500 to $12,000, with driveway replacement for failed existing surfaces running $5,000 to $14,000 depending on whether the base must be reconstructed.
How we do it
We remove the failed surface, assess and rebuild the base with proper compaction and drainage slope, form and pour with fiber-reinforced concrete and control joints spaced for the dimensions, finish with a broom or exposed aggregate surface, and cure before allowing vehicle traffic.
What Driveway & Pavers Costs in Lantana
| Item | Typical range in Lantana |
|---|---|
| Paver Driveway Installation | $7,000 - $18,000 |
| Concrete Driveway Installation | $4,500 - $12,000 |
| Driveway Replacement | $5,000 - $14,000 |
Can pavers handle the flooding that happens near the Intracoastal?
Permeable paver systems with open-graded base allow water to percolate through the surface rather than pond, which we specify for properties with drainage constraints or FEMA flood-zone considerations. Call (561) 475-3903 to discuss whether permeable pavers suit your specific site conditions.
Why does my concrete driveway crack so fast in Lantana?
Thin original pours, inadequate base preparation, and salt-air corrosion of any embedded steel create the cracking pattern we see most often; proper replacement includes 4-inch minimum thickness with fiber reinforcement and control joints at correct spacing. Call (561) 475-3903 for a written assessment of whether repair or full replacement is the better investment.
