High-Efficiency Window Replacement and Upgrades
Even if your current windows appear adequate, energy‑efficient replacements can cut heat loss, lower utility bills, and improve comfort without sacrificing 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 losing visible light. We analyze 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 recommend insulated vinyl, fiberglass, or thermally broken aluminum frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to stop air leakage and condensation. Proper anchoring, shims, and flashing connect units with your weather barrier, preserving structure and occupants. You'll get clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties aligned with manufacturer specifications.
Personalized Shower Systems and Glass Elements
While you're upgrading your home's glass, custom shower enclosures provide precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance tailored to your space. We carefully measure openings, check wall plumb, and specify tempered or laminated safety glass to comply with regulations and minimize flex. You pick frameless enclosures for less hardware and easy maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for clear edges and budget control.
We plan door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to accommodate tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron panels increase transparency; protective treatments minimize spotting. For visual appeal and privacy, we provide patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mold-resistant silicone, establish even reveals, and adjust sweep compression to avoid water leakage. Your enclosure fits, functions, and lasts.
Quick Fix Services, Critical Board‑Ups, and Safety Standards
When glass shatters, you require a fast, safe solution that reinforces the opening and protects individuals and property. We come prepared with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and pre-cut panels to safeguard the area. After cordoning off the area, we remove loose shards, assess conditions, and install sturdy board-ups or interim glazing to restore weather resistance, security, and thermal control.
You get 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 tempered, laminated, or insulated glass matched to performance specs. We anchor boards to structural members only, maintain drainage paths, and label hazards. Our technicians verify safe egress, child/pet zones, and alarm sensors. You leave with a stabilized opening and a confirmed follow‑up plan.
Managing Permits, Building Codes, and HOA Regulations
Since code compliance ensures safety and resale value, we commence your project by determining the exact approvals your address requires: city permits, energy codes (WA State Energy Code), safety glazing regulations (tempered/laminated near doors, wet areas, and low sills), egress dimensions, and wind/seismic criteria. We establish scope, assign responsibilities, and establish Permit timelines so you know when work begins and inspections occur. We process submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design details with community standards to avoid delays.
You'll receive clear 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. Following approval, we file permits for your records and future resale.
Choosing the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Before ordering a single pane, we pair glass types and hardware to your property's exposures, safety zones, and performance goals. We designate tempered or laminated safety glazing where code mandates, then calibrate U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and clear views, Low‑iron glass delivers true color; for privacy, we supply acid‑etched or switchable options. In wet zones, we select 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, deliver check here care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, preserving your investment and safety over the long term.
