Energy-Saving Window Replacement and Upgrades
While your current windows look satisfactory, energy‑efficient replacements can decrease heat loss, lower utility bills, and improve comfort without jeopardizing safety. You'll achieve measurable performance by combining Low‑E upgrades with gas fills and warm‑edge spacers to lower U‑factor and solar heat gain without sacrificing 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 recommend insulated vinyl, fiberglass, or thermally broken aluminum frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to stop air leakage and condensation. Appropriate anchoring, shims, and flashing integrate units with your weather barrier, preserving structure and occupants. We provide clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties consistent with manufacturer specifications.
Bespoke Shower Enclosures and Glass Elements
When you're enhancing your home's glass, custom shower enclosures deliver 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 reduce flex. You choose frameless enclosures for reduced 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 panels increase transparency; protective coatings reduce spotting. For privacy and style, we offer patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mold-resistant silicone, create even reveals, and adjust sweep compression to eliminate leaks. Your enclosure fits, functions, and lasts.
Fast Repairs, Immediate Board‑Ups, and Security Standards
If glass breaks, you need a rapid, safe response that secures the breach and shields people and belongings. We arrive equipped with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and custom-sized panels to safeguard the area. After cordoning off the area, we extract loose fragments, document the scene, and install solid board-ups or temporary glass to restore weather resistance, security, and thermal 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, preserve drainage paths, and label hazards. Our technicians verify safe egress, pet/child zones, and alarm sensors. You leave with a stabilized opening and a confirmed follow‑up plan.
Managing HOA Requirements, Permits, and Codes
Because code compliance ensures safety and resale value, we begin your project by outlining the exact approvals your address needs: city permits, energy codes (Washington State Energy Code), safety glazing requirements (tempered/laminated near doors, wet areas, and low sills), egress dimensions, and wind/seismic requirements. We verify scope, assign responsibilities, and publish permit timelines so you know when work starts and inspections take place. We oversee submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design specifications with community standards to prevent delays.
We provide comprehensive Code updates impacting glass placement and opening dimensions. 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 archive permits for your records and future resale.
Picking 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 goals. We specify tempered or laminated safety glazing where code requires, then calibrate U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and clear views, Low‑iron glass offers true color; for privacy, we provide acid‑etched or switchable options. In wet zones, we select corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then match Hardware finishes with your fixtures for durability and cohesion.
We catalog 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 register warranties, supply care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, safeguarding your investment and safety over the long term.
