Energy-Saving Window Replacement and Improvement
While your current windows appear adequate, energy‑efficient replacements can reduce heat loss, decrease utility bills, and improve comfort without compromising safety. You'll achieve measurable performance by combining Low‑E upgrades with gas fills and warm‑edge spacers to reduce U‑factor and solar heat gain without sacrificing visible light. We evaluate orientation, local climate, and code requirements to specify glazing that satisfies ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.
Glass is only part of the equation—window framing enhancements are equally important. We recommend insulated vinyl, fiberglass, or thermally broken aluminum frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to stop air leakage and condensation. Proper anchoring, shims, and flashing incorporate units with your weather barrier, protecting occupants and structure. We provide clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties matching manufacturer specifications.
Personalized Shower Enclosures and Glass Components
While you're upgrading your home's glass, custom shower enclosures provide precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance designed for your space. We take precise measurements of openings, confirm wall plumb, and select tempered or laminated safety glass to comply with regulations and minimize flex. You select frameless enclosures for less hardware and effortless maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for distinct edges and budget control.
We engineer door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to fit tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron panels enhance clarity; protective coatings limit water spots. For visual appeal and privacy, we offer patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mildew-resistant silicone, create even reveals, and adjust sweep compression to stop leaks. Your enclosure fits perfectly, works flawlessly, and endures.
Prompt Repair Services, Critical Board‑Ups, and Security Standards
If glass breaks, you need a fast, safe solution that stabilizes the opening and shields people and belongings. We show up equipped with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and fitted 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 weatherproofing, safety, and energy efficiency.
You get 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, maintain 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 Permits, Codes, and HOA Requirements
Because code compliance protects safety and resale value, we initiate your project by outlining the exact approvals your address needs: 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 standards. We confirm scope, assign responsibilities, and provide permit timelines so you know when work begins and inspections take place. We oversee submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design elements with community standards to avoid delays.
You'll get clear Code updates impacting glass placement and opening sizes. Ahead of installation, we conduct inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. While performing work, we maintain jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Following approval, we archive permits for your records and future resale.
Picking the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Before ordering a single pane, we align glass types and hardware to your home's exposures, safety zones, and performance objectives. We select tempered or laminated safety glazing where code demands, then optimize U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and sharp views, Low‑iron glass offers true color; for privacy, we supply acid‑etched or switchable solutions. In wet zones, we select corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then match Hardware finishes with your fixtures for durability and cohesion.
We document spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to maintain warranty integrity. You will know exactly what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We document warranties, offer care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, securing your investment and safety in the long run.
