Energy-Efficient Window Upgrades and Replacement
While your current windows appear adequate, energy‑efficient replacements can reduce heat loss, decrease utility bills, and improve comfort without compromising safety. You'll gain 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 satisfies ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.
Glass is only part of the equation—window framing enhancements are equally important. We advise insulated fiberglass, vinyl, or thermally broken aluminum frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to eliminate air leakage and condensation. Appropriate anchoring, shims, and flashing incorporate units with your weather barrier, safeguarding both structure and occupants. We provide clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties consistent with manufacturer specifications.
Bespoke Shower Surrounds and Glass Components
While upgrading your home's glass, custom shower enclosures provide precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance designed for your space. We field-measure openings, confirm wall plumb, and designate tempered or laminated safety glass to comply with regulations and minimize flex. You select frameless enclosures for less hardware and simple maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for distinct edges and budget control.
We engineer 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 feature patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mold-inhibiting silicone, set even reveals, and fine-tune sweep compression to prevent leaks. Your enclosure performs, fits, and lasts.
Prompt Fix Services, Urgent Board‑Ups, and Safety Standards
When glass is broken, you require a fast, safe solution that stabilizes the opening and shields people and belongings. We show up equipped with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and measured panels to secure the site. After securing the zone, we remove loose shards, assess conditions, and install sturdy board-ups or interim glazing to restore weather, security, and energy 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, preserve 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.
Dealing with Codes, Permits, and HOA Requirements
Because code compliance protects safety and resale value, we initiate your project by determining the exact approvals your address requires: 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 standards. We establish scope, assign responsibilities, and establish Permit timelines so you know when work starts and inspections happen. We handle submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design specifications with community standards to minimize delays.
You'll get transparent Code updates concerning glass placement and opening dimensions. Before installation, we perform inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. During work, we ensure jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Upon approval, we archive permits for your records and future resale.
Choosing the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Prior to ordering any single pane, we align glass types and hardware to your home's exposures, safety zones, and performance goals. We designate tempered or laminated safety glazing where code mandates, then optimize U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and clear views, Low‑iron glass provides true color; for privacy, we supply acid‑etched or switchable alternatives. In wet zones, we select corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, here then coordinate Hardware finishes with your fixtures for cohesion and durability.
We log spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to maintain warranty integrity. You will know exactly what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We register warranties, supply care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, preserving your investment and safety over the long term.
