Energy-Efficient Window Upgrades and Replacement
Even though your current windows seem fine, energy‑efficient replacements can cut heat loss, reduce 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 assess 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 suggest insulated fiberglass, vinyl, or thermally broken aluminum frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to prevent air leakage and condensation. Appropriate anchoring, shims, and flashing incorporate units with your weather barrier, protecting occupants and structure. You'll get clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties aligned with manufacturer specifications.
Bespoke Shower Systems and Glass Accents
While 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 designate tempered or laminated safety glass to meet code and reduce flex. You choose frameless enclosures for less hardware and simple maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for clear edges and budget control.
We plan door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to fit tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron glass improves clarity; protective coatings limit water spots. For aesthetics and privacy, we offer patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mold-inhibiting silicone, set even reveals, and calibrate sweep compression to avoid water leakage. Your enclosure functions, fits, and endures.
Swift Repairs, Emergency Board‑Ups, and Protection Standards
If glass breaks, you need a fast, safe solution that secures the breach and protects individuals and property. We arrive equipped with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and fitted panels to secure the site. After cordoning off the area, we eliminate loose here shards, document conditions, 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, protect 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 Permits, Codes, and HOA Requirements
As code compliance ensures safety and resale value, we initiate your project by identifying the exact approvals your address requires: 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 validate scope, assign responsibilities, and publish 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.
You'll get transparent Code updates affecting glass placement and opening sizes. Prior to installation, we execute inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. In the course of work, we preserve jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Once we receive approval, we file permits for your records and future resale.
Selecting the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Before ordering a single pane, we pair glass types and hardware to your home's exposures, safety zones, and performance goals. We select tempered or laminated safety glazing where code requires, then optimize U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and crisp views, Low‑iron glass offers true color; for privacy, we offer acid‑etched or switchable options. In wet zones, we specify corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then coordinate Hardware finishes with your fixtures for lasting durability and visual cohesion.
We catalog spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to ensure warranty integrity. You will know exactly what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We register warranties, provide care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, protecting your investment and safety for the long haul.
