High-Efficiency Window Upgrades and Replacement
Even though your current windows seem fine, energy‑efficient replacements can cut heat loss, lower utility bills, and enhance 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 sacrificing visible light. We analyze 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 recommend insulated vinyl, fiberglass, or thermally broken aluminum frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to eliminate air leakage and condensation. Appropriate anchoring, shims, and flashing integrate units with your weather barrier, protecting occupants and structure. You'll receive clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties consistent with manufacturer specifications.
Tailored Shower Systems and Glass Accents
As you upgrade your home's glass, custom shower enclosures deliver precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance customized for your space. We carefully measure openings, verify wall plumb, and designate tempered or laminated safety glass to comply with regulations and limit flex. You pick frameless enclosures for reduced hardware and simple maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for distinct edges and budget control.
We plan door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to accommodate tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron glass enhances visual clarity; protective treatments minimize spotting. For privacy and style, we feature patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mold-resistant silicone, ensure even reveals, and regulate sweep compression to eliminate leaks. Your enclosure performs, fits, and lasts.
Prompt Repairs, Emergency Board‑Ups, and Security Standards
When glass is broken, you require a swift, protected response that reinforces the opening and safeguards occupants and assets. We arrive outfitted with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and fitted panels to secure the premises. After securing the zone, we remove loose shards, document conditions, and install rigid board‑ups or Temporary glazing 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 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 Codes, Permits, and HOA Requirements
Because code compliance safeguards safety and resale value, we commence your project by outlining the exact approvals your address requires: city permits, energy codes (WA State Energy Code), safety glazing requirements (tempered/laminated near doors, wet areas, and low sills), egress dimensions, and wind/seismic criteria. We establish scope, assign responsibilities, and publish permit timelines so you know when work starts and inspections happen. We manage submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design specifications with community standards to eliminate delays.
We deliver comprehensive Code updates impacting glass placement and opening sizes. Prior to installation, we execute inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. During work, we copyright jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Upon approval, we file 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 home's exposures, safety zones, and performance requirements. We specify tempered or laminated safety glazing where code requires, then optimize U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and sharp views, Low‑iron glass offers true color; for privacy, we provide acid‑etched or switchable alternatives. 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 log spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to ensure warranty integrity. You'll be informed about 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.
