High-Efficiency Window Upgrades and Replacement
Even if your current windows look satisfactory, energy‑efficient replacements can decrease heat loss, lower utility bills, and boost comfort without jeopardizing safety. You'll obtain measurable performance by combining Low‑E upgrades with gas fills and warm‑edge spacers to lower U‑factor and solar heat gain without losing 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 suggest 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, preserving both structure and occupants. You'll receive clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties matching manufacturer specifications.
Personalized Shower Surrounds and Glass Components
As you upgrade your home's glass, custom shower enclosures deliver precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance tailored to your space. We take precise measurements of openings, check wall plumb, and select tempered or laminated safety glass to comply with regulations and reduce flex. You choose frameless enclosures for minimal hardware and easy maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for distinct edges and budget control.
We calculate door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to suit tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron glass improves clarity; protective coatings reduce spotting. For privacy and style, we include patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mildew-resistant silicone, set even reveals, and adjust sweep compression to eliminate leaks. Your enclosure fits, functions, and lasts.
Quick Restoration Work, Emergency Board‑Ups, and Safety Standards
When glass breaks, you need a rapid, safe response that stabilizes the gap and protects people and property. We arrive equipped with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and measured panels to secure the site. After containing the space, we remove loose shards, document the scene, and install rigid boarding or temporary glazing to restore weatherproofing, safety, and energy efficiency.
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 tempered, laminated, or insulated glass matched to performance specs. We anchor boards to structural members only, protect 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.
Dealing with Building Permits, Codes, and HOA Rules
Because code compliance ensures safety and resale value, we start your project by outlining the exact approvals your address demands: city permits, energy codes (Washington State Energy Code), safety glazing regulations (tempered/laminated near doors, wet areas, and low sills), egress dimensions, and wind/seismic criteria. We verify scope, assign responsibilities, and publish Permit timelines so you know when work starts and inspections take place. We oversee submittals, drawings, and check here calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design specifications with community standards to eliminate delays.
We provide clear Code updates impacting glass placement and opening measurements. Ahead of installation, we run inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. Throughout work, we copyright jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. After approval, we file permits for your records and future resale.
Picking the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Before we order a single pane, we match glass types and hardware to your residence's exposures, safety zones, and performance requirements. We select tempered or laminated safety glazing where code demands, then fine-tune U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and crisp views, Low‑iron glass provides true color; for privacy, we supply acid‑etched or switchable solutions. In wet zones, we specify corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then match Hardware finishes with your fixtures for lasting durability and visual cohesion.
We record spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to ensure warranty integrity. You'll understand 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 for the long haul.
