Energy-Efficient Window Replacement and Improvement
Even though your current windows appear adequate, energy‑efficient replacements can cut heat loss, lower utility bills, and boost comfort without compromising 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 losing 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 vinyl, fiberglass, or thermally broken aluminum frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to eliminate air leakage and condensation. Proper anchoring, shims, and flashing integrate units with your weather barrier, safeguarding both structure and occupants. We provide clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties matching manufacturer specifications.
Bespoke Shower Surrounds and Glass Accents
As you upgrade your home's glass, custom shower enclosures deliver 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 comply with regulations and minimize flex. You pick frameless enclosures for less hardware and simple maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for defined edges and budget control.
We calculate door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to suit tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron glass improves clarity; protective treatments minimize spotting. For privacy and style, we provide patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mold-inhibiting silicone, create even reveals, and calibrate sweep compression to stop leaks. Your enclosure fits, functions, and lasts.
Quick Fix Services, Urgent Board‑Ups, and Security Standards
When glass is broken, you require a fast, safe solution that secures the breach and protects individuals and property. We show up equipped with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and custom-sized panels to secure the site. After cordoning off the area, we remove loose shards, document the scene, and install solid board-ups or temporary glass 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, 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.
Dealing with Permits, Building Codes, and HOA Regulations
Since code compliance protects safety and resale value, we initiate your project by identifying the exact approvals your address needs: city permits, energy codes (Washington State Energy Code), safety glazing regulations (tempered/laminated near doors, wet areas, and low sills), egress dimensions, and wind/seismic criteria. We verify scope, assign responsibilities, and establish Permit timelines so you know when work begins and inspections occur. We manage submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design elements with community standards to avoid delays.
We provide clear 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. While performing work, we preserve jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Upon approval, we store permits for your records and future resale.
Choosing the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Prior to ordering any single pane, we pair glass types and hardware to your home's exposures, safety zones, and performance goals. We designate tempered or laminated safety glazing where code requires, then optimize U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and clear views, Low‑iron glass offers true color; for privacy, we supply acid‑etched or switchable options. In wet zones, we select corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then coordinate Hardware finishes with your fixtures for cohesion and durability.
We document spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to guarantee warranty integrity. You will know exactly what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We file warranties, supply care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, preserving your investment and safety long‑term.
