High-Efficiency Window Upgrades and Replacement
Even though your current windows seem fine, energy‑efficient replacements can decrease heat loss, lower utility bills, and boost comfort without compromising safety. You'll gain measurable performance by combining Low‑E upgrades with gas fills and warm‑edge spacers to lower U‑factor and solar heat gain without compromising visible light. We evaluate orientation, local climate, and code requirements to specify glazing that satisfies ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.
The framing around your windows is just as critical as the glass itself. We recommend insulated vinyl, fiberglass, or thermally broken aluminum frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to stop air leakage and condensation. Appropriate anchoring, shims, and flashing incorporate units with your weather barrier, safeguarding occupants and structure. We provide clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties consistent with manufacturer specifications.
Bespoke Shower Enclosures and Glass Features
While you're upgrading your home's glass, custom shower enclosures deliver precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance customized for your space. We field-measure openings, check wall plumb, and select tempered or laminated safety glass to comply with regulations and limit flex. You pick frameless enclosures for minimal hardware and simple maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for distinct edges and budget control.
We calculate door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to accommodate tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron glass improves clarity; protective finishes prevent spotting. For privacy and style, we provide patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mildew-resistant silicone, set even reveals, and fine-tune sweep compression to stop leaks. Your enclosure performs, fits, and lasts.
Rapid Fix Services, Critical Board‑Ups, and Safety Standards
If glass breaks, you need a swift, protected response that reinforces the opening and safeguards occupants and assets. We arrive outfitted with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and custom-sized panels to secure the site. After securing the zone, we remove loose shards, document conditions, and install rigid board‑ups or Temporary glazing to restore weatherproofing, safety, and energy efficiency.
We provide you with clear timelines: triage within hours, followed by precise measurements for replacement. For storm damage, we assess frame plumb, seal integrity, and hardware alignment, then recommend insulated, tempered, or laminated glass matched to performance specs. We anchor boards to structural members only, maintain drainage paths, and label hazards. Our technicians verify safe egress, pet/child zones, and alarm sensors. You leave with a stabilized opening and a confirmed follow‑up plan.
Navigating HOA Requirements, Permits, and Codes
As code compliance protects safety and resale value, we commence your project by outlining the exact approvals your address needs: city permits, energy codes (WA State Energy Code), safety glazing standards (tempered/laminated near doors, wet areas, and low sills), egress dimensions, and wind/seismic criteria. We verify scope, assign responsibilities, and publish permit timelines so you know when work begins and inspections happen. We oversee submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design specifications with community standards to minimize delays.
You'll get transparent Code updates impacting glass placement and opening measurements. Ahead of installation, we conduct Inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. Throughout work, we maintain jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Once we receive approval, we file permits for your records and future resale.
Choosing the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Before we order a single pane, we match glass types and hardware to your home's exposures, safety zones, and performance requirements. We select tempered or laminated safety glazing where code requires, then optimize U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and clear views, Low‑iron glass provides true color; for privacy, we provide acid‑etched or switchable alternatives. In wet zones, we choose corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then coordinate Hardware finishes with your fixtures for lasting durability and visual cohesion.
We catalog spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to guarantee warranty integrity. You'll know what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We document warranties, provide care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, safeguarding your investment and safety in the long run.
