Energy-Efficient Window Replacement and Upgrades
While your current windows appear adequate, energy‑efficient replacements can decrease heat loss, reduce 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 reduce U‑factor and solar heat gain without losing visible light. We assess orientation, local climate, and code requirements to specify glazing that meets ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.
Window framing enhancements matter as much as glass. We recommend insulated vinyl, fiberglass, or thermally broken aluminum frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to prevent air leakage and condensation. Correct anchoring, shims, and flashing connect units with your weather barrier, preserving structure and occupants. You'll get clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties aligned with manufacturer specifications.
Tailored Shower Installations and Glass Elements
As you upgrade your home's glass, custom shower enclosures deliver precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance customized for your space. We field-measure openings, verify wall plumb, and designate 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 engineer door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to accommodate tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron glass improves clarity; protective coatings reduce spotting. For visual appeal and privacy, we include patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mold-inhibiting silicone, ensure even reveals, and fine-tune sweep compression to eliminate leaks. Your enclosure fits, functions, and lasts.
Quick Fix Services, Urgent Board‑Ups, and Security Standards
When glass breaks, you need a swift, protected response that stabilizes the gap and shields people and belongings. We come prepared with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and pre-cut panels to safeguard the area. After isolating the area, we clear loose pieces, record the situation, 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 laminated, tempered, 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, pet/child zones, and alarm sensors. You leave with a stabilized opening and a confirmed follow‑up plan.
Dealing with Permits, Building Codes, and HOA Regulations
Because code compliance ensures safety and resale value, we start your project by mapping the exact approvals your address requires: 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 standards. We validate scope, assign responsibilities, and set permit timelines so you know when work commences and inspections take place. We oversee submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design details with community standards to eliminate delays.
You'll get transparent 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 preserve jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Once we receive approval, we store permits for your records and future resale.
Choosing the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Before ordering a single pane, we match glass types and hardware to your property's exposures, safety zones, and performance goals. We designate tempered or laminated safety glazing where code mandates, then calibrate U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and crisp views, Low‑iron glass provides true color; for privacy, we offer acid‑etched or switchable options. In wet zones, we specify corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then coordinate Hardware finishes with your fixtures for cohesion and durability.
We record 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, supply care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, securing your investment and safety in the long run.
