Energy-Efficient Window Upgrades and Replacement
While your current windows appear adequate, energy‑efficient replacements can reduce heat loss, lower utility bills, and enhance comfort without compromising safety. You'll obtain measurable performance by combining Low‑E upgrades with gas fills and warm‑edge spacers to lower U‑factor and solar heat gain without sacrificing visible light. We analyze 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 recommend insulated fiberglass, vinyl, or thermally broken aluminum frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to stop air leakage and condensation. Proper 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 aligned with manufacturer specifications.
Tailored Shower Systems and Glass Elements
While you're upgrading your home's glass, custom shower enclosures provide precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance customized for your space. We carefully measure openings, confirm wall plumb, and select tempered or laminated safety glass to comply with regulations and minimize flex. You select frameless enclosures for minimal hardware and effortless maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for distinct edges and budget control.
We plan door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to match 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 anti-mold silicone, establish even reveals, and adjust sweep compression to avoid water leakage. Your enclosure fits, functions, and lasts.
Quick Repair Services, Urgent Board‑Ups, and Safety Standards
When glass is broken, you require a quick, secure response that stabilizes the gap and shields people and belongings. We come prepared with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and pre-cut panels to secure the premises. After cordoning off the area, we clear loose pieces, document the scene, and install rigid boarding or temporary 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 laminated, tempered, 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.
Understanding Building Permits, Codes, and HOA Rules
As code compliance safeguards safety and resale value, we begin your project by mapping 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 establish scope, assign responsibilities, and provide permit timelines so you know when work commences and inspections occur. We oversee submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design specifications with community standards to minimize delays.
You'll receive comprehensive Code updates impacting glass placement and opening measurements. Prior to installation, we run inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. In the course of work, we ensure 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 ordering a single pane, we match glass types and hardware to your residence's exposures, safety zones, and performance requirements. We specify tempered or laminated safety glazing where code mandates, then optimize U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and sharp views, Low‑iron glass offers true color; for privacy, we offer acid‑etched or switchable alternatives. In wet zones, we specify corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then align Hardware finishes with your fixtures for lasting durability and visual cohesion.
We catalog spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to protect warranty integrity. You'll know what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We document warranties, deliver care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, preserving your investment and safety over the long term.
