Energy-Efficient Window Replacement and Improvement
Even though your current windows appear adequate, energy‑efficient replacements can reduce heat loss, decrease utility bills, and boost comfort without compromising safety. You'll obtain measurable performance by combining Low‑E upgrades with gas fills and warm‑edge spacers to minimize U‑factor and solar heat gain without losing visible light. We analyze orientation, local climate, and code requirements to specify glazing that satisfies ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.
The framing around your windows is just as critical as the glass itself. We suggest insulated vinyl, thermally broken aluminum, or fiberglass frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to stop air leakage and condensation. Appropriate anchoring, shims, and flashing connect units with your weather barrier, protecting both structure and occupants. We provide clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties aligned with manufacturer specifications.
Personalized Shower Surrounds and Glass Elements
While upgrading your home's glass, custom shower enclosures deliver precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance tailored to your space. We take precise measurements of openings, verify wall plumb, and specify tempered or laminated safety glass to meet code and minimize flex. You select frameless enclosures for minimal hardware and easy maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for defined edges and budget control.
We calculate door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to accommodate tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron glass improves clarity; protective treatments minimize 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, set even reveals, and adjust sweep compression to prevent leaks. Your enclosure fits, functions, and lasts.
Rapid Repairs, Critical Board‑Ups, and Safety Standards
When glass breaks, you need a quick, secure response that secures the breach and shields people and belongings. We show up equipped with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and measured panels to protect the location. After cordoning off the area, we extract loose fragments, document conditions, and install solid board-ups or temporary glass to restore weather protection, security, and climate 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 Building Permits, Codes, and HOA Rules
Because code compliance ensures safety and resale value, we initiate your project by determining the exact approvals your address needs: city permits, energy codes (Washington State Energy Code), safety glazing requirements (tempered/laminated website near doors, wet areas, and low sills), egress dimensions, and wind/seismic criteria. We confirm scope, assign responsibilities, and establish permit timelines so you know when work begins and inspections happen. We manage submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design specifications with community standards to eliminate delays.
We deliver transparent Code updates related to glass placement and opening dimensions. Prior to installation, we run inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. Throughout work, we preserve 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
Before we order a single pane, we align glass types and hardware to your home's exposures, safety zones, and performance requirements. We designate 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 provides true color; for privacy, we offer acid‑etched or switchable solutions. In wet zones, we select corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then coordinate Hardware finishes with your fixtures for durability and cohesion.
We document spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to maintain warranty integrity. You'll know what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We record warranties, supply care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, protecting your investment and safety long‑term.
