Energy-Efficient Window Upgrades and Replacement
Even though your current windows appear adequate, energy‑efficient replacements can cut heat loss, reduce utility bills, and boost comfort without sacrificing 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 sacrificing visible light. We assess orientation, local climate, and code requirements to specify glazing that meets ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.
Glass is only part of the equation—window framing enhancements are equally important. We suggest insulated fiberglass, vinyl, or thermally broken aluminum frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to prevent air leakage and condensation. Proper anchoring, shims, and flashing integrate units with your weather barrier, safeguarding occupants and structure. We provide clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties matching manufacturer specifications.
Personalized Shower Enclosures and Glass Accents
While you're upgrading your home's glass, custom shower enclosures offer precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance designed for your space. We field-measure openings, verify wall plumb, and specify tempered or laminated safety glass to comply with regulations and limit flex. You choose frameless enclosures for less 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 fit tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron glass improves clarity; protective finishes prevent spotting. For aesthetics and privacy, we include patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mold-resistant silicone, create even reveals, and adjust sweep compression to prevent leaks. Your enclosure performs, fits, and lasts.
Fast Repairs, Urgent Board‑Ups, and Safety Standards
When glass breaks, you need a quick, secure response that secures the breach and safeguards occupants and assets. We come prepared with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and pre-cut panels to secure the site. After containing the space, we eliminate loose shards, assess conditions, and install solid board-ups or temporary glass to restore weather, security, and energy 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 tempered, laminated, 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.
Navigating Permits, Building Codes, and HOA Regulations
Since code compliance safeguards safety and resale value, we begin your project by mapping the exact approvals your address requires: 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 requirements. We verify scope, assign responsibilities, and set Permit timelines so you know when work starts and inspections happen. We handle submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design specifications with community standards to eliminate delays.
We provide detailed Code updates impacting glass placement and opening dimensions. Prior to installation, we perform inspection checklists: click here tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. Throughout work, we ensure jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. After approval, we maintain permits for your records and future resale.
Picking the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Before we order a single pane, we align glass types and hardware to your home's exposures, safety zones, and performance requirements. We select tempered or laminated safety glazing where code demands, then calibrate U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and sharp views, Low‑iron glass delivers true color; for privacy, we supply acid‑etched or switchable options. In wet zones, we select corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then match Hardware finishes with your fixtures for cohesion and durability.
We document spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to protect warranty integrity. You'll be informed about what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We register warranties, provide care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, securing your investment and safety for the long haul.
