Energy-Efficient Window Replacement and Upgrades
Even though your current windows seem fine, energy‑efficient replacements can decrease heat loss, reduce utility bills, and boost 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 compromising 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 recommend insulated vinyl, thermally broken aluminum, or fiberglass frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to prevent air leakage and condensation. Correct anchoring, shims, and flashing integrate 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 Enclosures and Glass Components
While you're upgrading your home's glass, custom shower enclosures offer 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 choose frameless enclosures for minimal 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 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 calibrate sweep compression to prevent leaks. Your enclosure performs, fits, and lasts.
Fast Repairs, Emergency Board‑Ups, and Safety Standards
When glass is broken, you require a fast, safe solution that stabilizes the opening and protects people and property. We arrive outfitted with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and pre-cut panels to secure the site. After isolating the area, we remove loose shards, document the scene, and install sturdy board-ups or interim here 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 insulated, tempered, or laminated 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, Codes, and HOA Requirements
As code compliance protects safety and resale value, we start your project by mapping the exact approvals your address needs: city permits, energy codes (WA State Energy Code), safety glazing rules (tempered/laminated near doors, wet areas, and low sills), egress dimensions, and wind/seismic requirements. We verify 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 elements with community standards to avoid delays.
You'll get comprehensive Code updates related to glass placement and opening sizes. Ahead of installation, we run verification checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. In the course of work, we preserve jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Following approval, we archive permits for your records and future resale.
Choosing the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Before we order a single pane, we align glass types and hardware to your property's exposures, safety zones, and performance requirements. We specify tempered or laminated safety glazing where code requires, then fine-tune U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and crisp views, Low‑iron glass provides true color; for privacy, we provide acid‑etched or switchable alternatives. In wet zones, we select corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then match Hardware finishes with your fixtures for cohesion and durability.
We document spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to protect warranty integrity. You'll be informed about what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We register warranties, supply care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, safeguarding your investment and safety long‑term.
