Energy-Efficient Window Replacement and Upgrades
Even if your current windows seem fine, energy‑efficient replacements can decrease heat loss, lower utility bills, and enhance comfort without sacrificing safety. You'll gain 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 analyze orientation, local climate, and code requirements to specify glazing that fulfills ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.
The framing around your windows is just as critical as the glass itself. 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 connect units with your weather barrier, protecting both structure and occupants. We provide clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties aligned with manufacturer specifications.
Personalized Shower Systems and Glass Accents
While upgrading your home's glass, custom shower enclosures deliver precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance designed for your space. We carefully measure openings, confirm wall plumb, and designate tempered or laminated safety glass to comply with regulations and reduce flex. You select frameless enclosures for minimal 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 fit tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron panels enhance clarity; protective coatings reduce spotting. For visual appeal and privacy, we provide patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mold-inhibiting silicone, set even reveals, and fine-tune sweep compression to stop leaks. Your enclosure fits, functions, and lasts.
Swift Repairs, Critical Board‑Ups, and Protection Standards
When glass is broken, you require a quick, secure response that stabilizes the gap and protects people and property. We check here arrive outfitted with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and pre-cut panels to safeguard the area. After containing the space, we remove loose shards, document the scene, and install rigid board‑ups or Temporary glazing 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 tempered, laminated, or insulated glass matched to performance specs. We anchor boards to structural members only, maintain 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 Building Permits, Codes, and HOA Rules
Since code compliance protects safety and resale value, we begin your project by outlining the exact approvals your address needs: 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 confirm scope, assign responsibilities, and publish Permit timelines so you know when work commences and inspections occur. We handle submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design elements with community standards to prevent delays.
You'll receive detailed Code updates related to glass placement and opening measurements. Prior to installation, we conduct inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. While performing work, we preserve jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. After approval, we maintain permits for your records and future resale.
Picking the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Before we order a single pane, we pair glass types and hardware to your property's exposures, safety zones, and performance requirements. We select tempered or laminated safety glazing where code mandates, then fine-tune U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and clear views, Low‑iron glass provides true color; for privacy, we supply acid‑etched or switchable options. In wet zones, we select corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then align Hardware finishes with your fixtures for cohesion and durability.
We record 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 record warranties, supply care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, securing your investment and safety for the long haul.
