High-Efficiency Window Upgrades and Replacement
Even though your current windows seem fine, energy‑efficient replacements can reduce heat loss, decrease utility bills, and boost comfort without jeopardizing safety. You'll obtain measurable performance by combining Low‑E upgrades with gas fills and warm‑edge spacers to reduce U‑factor and solar heat gain without sacrificing visible light. We assess orientation, local climate, and code requirements to specify glazing that fulfills ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.
Window framing enhancements matter as much as glass. We advise insulated fiberglass, vinyl, or thermally broken aluminum frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to eliminate air leakage and condensation. Correct anchoring, shims, and flashing connect units with your weather barrier, protecting both structure and occupants. We provide clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties consistent with manufacturer specifications.
Bespoke Shower Surrounds and Glass Features
As you upgrade your home's glass, custom shower enclosures deliver precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance tailored to your space. We carefully measure openings, check wall plumb, and designate tempered or laminated safety glass to meet code and reduce flex. You select frameless enclosures for less hardware and effortless maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for clear edges and budget control.
We calculate door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to fit tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron panels increase transparency; protective finishes prevent spotting. For visual appeal and privacy, we offer patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mildew-resistant silicone, set even reveals, and regulate sweep compression to avoid water leakage. Your enclosure fits perfectly, works flawlessly, and endures.
Quick Restoration Work, Emergency Board‑Ups, and Security Standards
When glass breaks, you need a swift, protected response that stabilizes the gap and protects individuals and property. We show up equipped with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and fitted panels to safeguard the area. After securing the zone, we extract loose fragments, record the situation, and install rigid board‑ups or Temporary glazing to restore weather resistance, security, and thermal control.
You receive 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, protect 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.
Managing Permits, Codes, and HOA Requirements
As code compliance protects safety and resale value, we initiate your project by mapping the exact approvals your address requires: city permits, energy codes (Washington State Energy Code), safety glazing requirements (tempered/laminated near doors, wet areas, and low sills), egress dimensions, and wind/seismic standards. We verify scope, assign responsibilities, and publish permit timelines so you know when work commences and inspections take place. We process submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design details with community standards to minimize delays.
We provide detailed Code updates concerning glass placement and opening measurements. Before installation, we perform verification checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. During work, we preserve jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Following approval, we archive permits for your records and future resale.
Picking the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Before we order a single pane, we align glass types and hardware to your residence's exposures, safety zones, and performance requirements. We select tempered or laminated safety glazing where code requires, then calibrate U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and clear views, Low‑iron glass delivers true color; for privacy, we offer acid‑etched or switchable alternatives. In wet zones, we choose corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then align Hardware finishes with your fixtures for lasting durability and visual cohesion.
We record spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to ensure warranty integrity. You'll be informed about what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We register warranties, offer care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, protecting your investment and safety long‑term.
