Energy-Efficient Window Upgrades and Replacement
Even if your current windows look satisfactory, energy‑efficient replacements can cut heat loss, lower utility bills, and boost comfort without jeopardizing safety. You'll gain 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.
The framing around your windows is just as critical as the glass itself. We recommend insulated vinyl, thermally broken aluminum, or fiberglass frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to stop air leakage and condensation. Appropriate anchoring, shims, and flashing connect units with your weather barrier, preserving structure and occupants. You'll receive clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties consistent with manufacturer specifications.
Custom Shower Installations and Glass Features
While you're upgrading your home's glass, custom shower enclosures deliver precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance customized for your space. We take precise measurements of openings, verify wall plumb, and specify 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 distinct edges and budget control.
We calculate door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to match tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron glass improves clarity; protective coatings reduce spotting. For privacy and style, we provide patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mold-inhibiting silicone, set even reveals, and fine-tune sweep compression to eliminate leaks. Your enclosure functions, fits, and endures.
Fast Repair Services, Critical Board‑Ups, and Protection Standards
When glass breaks, you need a swift, protected response that stabilizes the opening and protects people and property. We arrive outfitted with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and measured panels to safeguard the area. After isolating the area, we extract loose fragments, document conditions, and install sturdy board-ups or interim glazing to restore weather resistance, security, and thermal 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 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.
Understanding Codes, Permits, and HOA Requirements
As code compliance protects safety and resale value, we commence your project by identifying the exact approvals your address demands: city permits, energy codes (Washington State Energy Code), safety glazing requirements (tempered/laminated near doors, wet areas, and low sills), egress dimensions, and wind/seismic criteria. We validate 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 components with community standards to minimize delays.
You'll receive comprehensive Code updates impacting glass placement and opening sizes. Before installation, we run inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. Throughout work, we ensure jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Following approval, we store permits for your records and future resale.
Picking the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Prior to ordering any single pane, we pair glass types and hardware to your residence'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 sharp views, Low‑iron glass delivers true color; for privacy, we provide acid‑etched or switchable options. In wet zones, we specify corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then match Hardware finishes with your fixtures for durability and cohesion.
We record 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 record warranties, deliver care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, securing your investment and safety for the long haul.
