High-Efficiency Window Upgrades and Replacement
While your current windows appear adequate, energy‑efficient replacements can reduce heat loss, decrease utility bills, and enhance comfort without sacrificing safety. You'll achieve measurable performance by combining Low‑E upgrades with gas fills and warm‑edge spacers to minimize U‑factor and solar heat gain without sacrificing visible light. We analyze 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 advise insulated vinyl, thermally broken aluminum, or fiberglass frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to eliminate air leakage and condensation. Correct anchoring, shims, and flashing connect units with your weather barrier, safeguarding occupants and structure. We provide clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties aligned with manufacturer specifications.
Tailored Shower Installations and Glass Accents
As you upgrade your home's glass, custom shower enclosures provide precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance tailored to your space. We carefully measure openings, confirm wall plumb, and designate tempered or laminated safety glass to meet code and minimize flex. You select frameless enclosures for minimal hardware and effortless maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for defined edges and budget control.
We engineer 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 visual appeal and privacy, we provide patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mold-resistant silicone, create even reveals, and fine-tune sweep compression to stop leaks. Your enclosure fits perfectly, works flawlessly, and endures.
Prompt Repair Services, Immediate Board‑Ups, and Protection Standards
If glass breaks, you need a rapid, safe response that secures the breach and protects people and property. We show up equipped with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and custom-sized panels to secure the premises. After cordoning off the area, we extract loose fragments, assess conditions, and install sturdy board-ups or interim glazing to restore weatherproofing, safety, and energy efficiency.
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, preserve 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.
Dealing with Building Permits, Codes, and HOA Rules
Because code compliance ensures safety and resale value, we initiate your project by mapping 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 requirements. We validate scope, assign responsibilities, and establish permit timelines so you know when work starts and inspections happen. We oversee submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design components with community standards to minimize delays.
You'll receive comprehensive Code updates affecting glass placement and opening measurements. website Before installation, we run inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. Throughout work, we maintain jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Once we receive approval, we store permits for your records and future resale.
Picking the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Before ordering a single pane, we pair glass types and hardware to your property's exposures, safety zones, and performance requirements. We specify tempered or laminated safety glazing where code demands, then fine-tune U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and crisp views, Low‑iron glass provides true color; for privacy, we offer acid‑etched or switchable solutions. In wet zones, we specify corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then match Hardware finishes with your fixtures for lasting durability and visual cohesion.
We document spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to ensure warranty integrity. You'll know what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We document warranties, supply care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, safeguarding your investment and safety for the long haul.
