Energy-Efficient Window Upgrades and Replacement
While your current windows appear adequate, energy‑efficient replacements can reduce heat loss, lower 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 evaluate orientation, local climate, and code requirements to specify glazing that meets ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.
Glass is only part of the equation—window framing enhancements are equally important. We advise insulated fiberglass, vinyl, or thermally broken aluminum frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to stop air leakage and condensation. Proper anchoring, shims, and flashing integrate units with your weather barrier, protecting occupants and structure. We provide clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties matching manufacturer specifications.
Tailored Shower Systems and Glass Elements
While you're upgrading your home's glass, custom shower enclosures offer precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance tailored to your space. We take precise measurements of openings, verify wall plumb, and select tempered or laminated safety glass to satisfy building codes and minimize flex. You pick frameless enclosures for reduced hardware and easy maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for distinct edges and budget control.
We plan door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to match tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron glass improves clarity; protective coatings limit water spots. For style and privacy, we feature patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mold-inhibiting silicone, ensure even reveals, and calibrate sweep compression to eliminate leaks. Your enclosure functions, fits, and endures.
Swift Repair Services, Critical Board‑Ups, and Safety Standards
When glass breaks, you need a rapid, safe response that reinforces the opening and protects people and property. We arrive equipped with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and custom-sized panels to secure the premises. After containing the space, we clear loose pieces, document the scene, and install rigid board‑ups or Temporary glazing 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, 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.
Navigating HOA Requirements, Permits, and Codes
Since code compliance safeguards safety and resale value, we begin your project by outlining the exact approvals your address demands: city permits, energy codes (Washington State Energy Code), safety glazing rules (tempered/laminated near doors, wet areas, and low sills), egress dimensions, and wind/seismic standards. We confirm scope, assign responsibilities, and set permit timelines so you know when work begins and inspections take place. We handle submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design components with community standards to avoid delays.
We provide transparent Code updates affecting glass placement and opening measurements. Before installation, we perform inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. While performing work, we copyright jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Once we receive approval, we file 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 home's exposures, safety zones, and performance requirements. We specify tempered or laminated safety glazing where code mandates, then optimize 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 specify corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then coordinate Hardware finishes with your fixtures for durability and cohesion.
We log 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, offer care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, securing your investment and safety in the long run.
