Energy-Efficient Window Replacement and Upgrades
While your current windows look satisfactory, energy‑efficient replacements can decrease heat loss, lower 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 compromising visible light. We analyze orientation, local climate, and code requirements to specify glazing that meets ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.
Glass is only part of the equation—window framing enhancements are equally important. We advise insulated vinyl, thermally broken aluminum, or fiberglass frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to eliminate air leakage and condensation. Proper anchoring, shims, and flashing integrate units with here your weather barrier, preserving structure and occupants. You'll get clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties matching manufacturer specifications.
Personalized Shower Enclosures and Glass Accents
As you upgrade your home's glass, custom shower enclosures offer 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 meet code and minimize flex. You select frameless enclosures for less hardware and effortless maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for distinct edges and budget control.
We design 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 mildew-resistant silicone, ensure even reveals, and fine-tune sweep compression to avoid water leakage. Your enclosure performs, fits, and lasts.
Swift Repair Services, Critical Board‑Ups, and Protection Standards
When glass shatters, you require a swift, protected response that stabilizes the gap and safeguards occupants and assets. We arrive equipped with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and fitted panels to secure the site. After securing the zone, we clear loose pieces, document the scene, and install solid board-ups or temporary glass to restore weather protection, security, and climate 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, 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.
Dealing with Permits, Codes, and HOA Requirements
Since code compliance safeguards safety and resale value, we start your project by determining the exact approvals your address needs: 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 criteria. We validate scope, assign responsibilities, and publish Permit timelines so you know when work starts and inspections occur. We oversee submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design details with community standards to prevent delays.
We provide detailed Code updates related to glass placement and opening sizes. Prior to installation, we perform inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. While performing work, we ensure jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Once we receive approval, we store permits for your records and future resale.
Selecting the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Prior to ordering any single pane, we pair glass types and hardware to your residence's exposures, safety zones, and performance objectives. We designate tempered or laminated safety glazing where code demands, then fine-tune 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 alternatives. In wet zones, we select corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then align Hardware finishes with your fixtures for cohesion and durability.
We log spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to maintain warranty integrity. You'll understand what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We file warranties, offer care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, protecting your investment and safety over the long term.
