High-Efficiency Window Replacement and Upgrades
Even if your current windows appear adequate, energy‑efficient replacements can reduce heat loss, reduce utility bills, and boost comfort without jeopardizing safety. You'll achieve measurable performance by combining Low‑E upgrades with gas fills and warm‑edge spacers to reduce U‑factor and solar heat gain without compromising 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, 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 integrate units with your weather barrier, safeguarding both structure and occupants. You'll get clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties consistent with manufacturer specifications.
Custom Shower Enclosures and Glass Elements
As you upgrade your home's glass, custom shower enclosures offer precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance designed for your space. We take precise measurements of openings, confirm wall plumb, and select tempered or laminated safety glass to comply with regulations and minimize flex. You pick frameless enclosures for less hardware and easy maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for defined edges and budget control.
We plan door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to suit tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron panels increase transparency; protective coatings reduce spotting. For style and privacy, we include patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with anti-mold silicone, create even reveals, and calibrate sweep compression to prevent leaks. Your enclosure functions, fits, and endures.
Fast Restoration Work, Urgent Board‑Ups, and Security Standards
When glass shatters, you require a rapid, safe response that reinforces the opening and safeguards occupants and assets. We come prepared with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and custom-sized panels to secure the site. After cordoning off the area, we remove loose shards, document the scene, and install sturdy board-ups or interim 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 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, child/pet zones, and alarm sensors. You leave with a stabilized opening and a confirmed follow‑up plan.
Managing Permits, Building Codes, and HOA Regulations
Since code compliance safeguards safety and resale value, we start your project by determining the exact approvals your address needs: 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 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 elements with community standards to eliminate delays.
You'll receive clear Code updates related to glass placement and opening sizes. Prior to installation, we perform Inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. Throughout work, we maintain jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Upon approval, we file permits for your records and future resale.
Choosing the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Before we order 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 mandates, 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 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 guarantee warranty integrity. You'll be informed about what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We document warranties, deliver care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, safeguarding your investment and safety for the long haul.
