High-Efficiency Window Replacement and Improvement
Even though your current windows seem fine, energy‑efficient replacements can reduce heat loss, decrease 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 losing visible light. We evaluate 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 suggest insulated fiberglass, vinyl, or thermally broken aluminum frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to eliminate air leakage and condensation. Correct anchoring, shims, and flashing integrate units with your weather barrier, preserving occupants and structure. We provide clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties consistent with manufacturer specifications.
Tailored Shower Enclosures and Glass Features
While you're upgrading your home's glass, custom shower enclosures provide precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance customized for your space. We field-measure openings, confirm wall plumb, and select tempered or laminated safety glass to satisfy building codes and minimize flex. You select frameless enclosures for minimal 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 fit tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron glass improves clarity; protective finishes prevent spotting. For website style and privacy, we include patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mold-inhibiting silicone, set even reveals, and regulate sweep compression to avoid water leakage. 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 opening and protects individuals and property. We arrive outfitted with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and fitted panels to secure the premises. After containing the space, 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, 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.
Understanding Codes, Permits, and HOA Requirements
As code compliance safeguards safety and resale value, we initiate your project by determining the exact approvals your address demands: 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 requirements. We confirm scope, assign responsibilities, and publish Permit timelines so you know when work starts and inspections occur. We manage submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design elements with community standards to prevent delays.
You'll get clear Code updates related to glass placement and opening measurements. Ahead of installation, we execute verification checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. In the course of work, we maintain 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
Prior to ordering any single pane, we match glass types and hardware to your property's exposures, safety zones, and performance goals. We select tempered or laminated safety glazing where code demands, then calibrate U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and clear views, Low‑iron glass provides true color; for privacy, we provide acid‑etched or switchable alternatives. In wet zones, we select 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 guarantee warranty integrity. You'll know what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We document warranties, deliver care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, securing your investment and safety in the long run.
