Energy-Efficient Window Upgrades and Replacement
While your current windows appear adequate, energy‑efficient replacements can cut heat loss, decrease utility bills, and improve comfort without jeopardizing safety. You'll gain measurable performance by combining Low‑E upgrades with gas fills and warm‑edge spacers to lower U‑factor and solar heat gain without compromising 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 advise insulated vinyl, thermally broken aluminum, or fiberglass frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to prevent air leakage and condensation. Appropriate anchoring, shims, and flashing connect units with your weather barrier, preserving occupants and structure. You'll receive clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties aligned with manufacturer specifications.
Bespoke Shower Surrounds and Glass Features
While upgrading your home's glass, custom shower enclosures deliver precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance tailored to your space. We carefully measure openings, confirm wall plumb, and designate tempered or laminated safety glass to satisfy building codes and reduce flex. You select 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 accommodate tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron panels enhance clarity; protective treatments minimize spotting. For style and privacy, we provide patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mildew-resistant silicone, ensure even reveals, and adjust sweep compression to avoid water leakage. Your enclosure fits perfectly, works flawlessly, and endures.
Prompt Fix Services, Critical Board‑Ups, and Safety Standards
If glass breaks, you need a fast, safe solution that secures the breach and shields people and belongings. We come prepared with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and measured panels to safeguard the area. After isolating the area, we remove loose shards, record the situation, and install solid board-ups or temporary glass 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 tempered, laminated, or insulated glass matched to performance specs. We anchor boards to structural members only, maintain 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.
Dealing with Codes, Permits, and HOA Requirements
Since code compliance ensures safety and resale value, we start check here your project by identifying the exact approvals your address demands: city permits, energy codes (WA State Energy Code), safety glazing rules (tempered/laminated near doors, wet areas, and low sills), egress dimensions, and wind/seismic standards. We validate scope, assign responsibilities, and provide Permit timelines so you know when work starts and inspections take place. We manage submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design specifications with community standards to minimize delays.
We provide clear Code updates concerning glass placement and opening dimensions. Prior to installation, we conduct Inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. While performing work, we ensure jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Following approval, we archive permits for your records and future resale.
Choosing the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Before ordering a single pane, we align glass types and hardware to your residence's exposures, safety zones, and performance goals. We specify tempered or laminated safety glazing where code mandates, then fine-tune U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and sharp views, Low‑iron glass provides true color; for privacy, we supply acid‑etched or switchable options. In wet zones, we select corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then align Hardware finishes with your fixtures for durability and cohesion.
We record spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to ensure 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, safeguarding your investment and safety in the long run.
