Energy-Efficient Window Upgrades and Replacement
Even though your current windows appear adequate, energy‑efficient replacements can cut heat loss, reduce utility bills, and boost comfort without compromising safety. You'll gain measurable performance by combining Low‑E upgrades with gas fills and warm‑edge spacers to minimize U‑factor and solar heat gain without compromising visible light. We assess orientation, local climate, and code requirements to specify read more glazing that meets ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.
The framing around your windows is just as critical as the glass itself. We advise insulated vinyl, thermally broken aluminum, or fiberglass frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to stop air leakage and condensation. Correct anchoring, shims, and flashing connect units with your weather barrier, preserving both structure and occupants. We provide clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties aligned with manufacturer specifications.
Bespoke Shower Enclosures and Glass Accents
While upgrading your home's glass, custom shower enclosures provide precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance designed for your space. We field-measure openings, check wall plumb, and select tempered or laminated safety glass to comply with regulations and limit flex. You pick frameless enclosures for minimal hardware and simple maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for defined edges and budget control.
We engineer door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to suit tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron glass improves clarity; protective coatings limit water spots. For visual appeal and privacy, we offer patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mold-inhibiting silicone, establish even reveals, and fine-tune sweep compression to stop leaks. Your enclosure fits, functions, and lasts.
Swift Restoration Work, Critical Board‑Ups, and Safety Standards
If glass breaks, you need a quick, secure response that secures the breach and safeguards occupants and assets. We show up equipped with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and custom-sized panels to secure the premises. After cordoning off the area, we eliminate loose shards, document the scene, and install solid board-ups or temporary glass to restore weather protection, security, and climate 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 insulated, tempered, or laminated glass matched to performance specs. We anchor boards to structural members only, maintain 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.
Managing Building Permits, Codes, and HOA Rules
As code compliance safeguards safety and resale value, we initiate your project by determining 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 standards. We confirm scope, assign responsibilities, and provide Permit timelines so you know when work starts and inspections happen. We handle submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design specifications with community standards to avoid delays.
We provide comprehensive Code updates impacting glass placement and opening dimensions. Ahead of installation, we run 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 we order a single pane, we pair glass types and hardware to your home's exposures, safety zones, and performance objectives. We designate 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 offer acid‑etched or switchable solutions. In wet zones, we choose corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then align Hardware finishes with your fixtures for lasting durability and visual cohesion.
We document spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to protect warranty integrity. You'll know what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We file warranties, deliver care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, protecting your investment and safety long‑term.
