Energy-Efficient Window Replacement and Upgrades
While your current windows appear adequate, energy‑efficient replacements can cut heat loss, reduce utility bills, and boost comfort without sacrificing safety. You'll obtain measurable performance by combining Low‑E upgrades with gas fills and warm‑edge spacers to reduce U‑factor and solar heat gain without losing 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. Appropriate anchoring, shims, and flashing incorporate units with your weather barrier, protecting both structure and occupants. You'll receive clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties consistent with manufacturer specifications.
Bespoke Shower Installations and Glass Elements
When you're enhancing your home's glass, custom shower enclosures provide precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance customized for your space. We take precise measurements of openings, verify wall plumb, and select tempered or laminated safety glass to comply with regulations and minimize flex. You select frameless enclosures for reduced hardware and effortless 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 treatments minimize spotting. For visual appeal and privacy, we feature patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mold-resistant silicone, ensure even reveals, and fine-tune sweep compression to eliminate leaks. Your enclosure functions, fits, and endures.
Rapid Repair Services, Immediate Board‑Ups, and Security Standards
When glass is broken, you require a swift, protected response that reinforces the opening and protects people and property. We show up equipped with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and measured panels to secure the premises. After isolating the area, we eliminate loose shards, document the scene, and install rigid board‑ups or Temporary glazing to restore weather, security, and energy control.
We provide you with 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 safeguards safety and resale value, we begin your project by determining the exact approvals your address requires: city permits, energy codes (Washington State Energy Code), safety glazing standards (tempered/laminated near doors, wet areas, and low sills), egress dimensions, and wind/seismic standards. We establish scope, assign responsibilities, and provide permit timelines so you know when work starts and inspections occur. We oversee submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design specifications with community standards to avoid delays.
We provide transparent Code updates related to glass placement and opening sizes. Ahead of installation, we execute inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. During work, we maintain jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Once we receive approval, we store 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 designate tempered or laminated safety glazing where code requires, then calibrate U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and crisp views, Low‑iron glass delivers true color; for privacy, we offer acid‑etched or switchable alternatives. In wet zones, we select corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then align Hardware finishes with your fixtures for lasting durability and visual cohesion.
We record spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to protect warranty integrity. You will know exactly what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We record warranties, deliver care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, securing your investment and safety long‑term.
