Energy-Efficient Window Replacement and Upgrades
Even though your current windows seem fine, energy‑efficient replacements can cut heat loss, decrease utility bills, and improve comfort without compromising safety. You'll obtain 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 analyze 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 fiberglass, vinyl, or thermally broken aluminum frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to eliminate air leakage and condensation. Correct anchoring, shims, and flashing integrate units with your weather barrier, preserving both structure and occupants. You'll receive clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties aligned with manufacturer specifications.
Bespoke Shower Installations and Glass Features
While upgrading your home's glass, custom shower enclosures provide precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance tailored to your space. We field-measure openings, verify wall plumb, and select tempered or laminated safety glass to meet code and limit flex. You select frameless enclosures for minimal hardware and effortless maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for defined edges and budget control.
We design door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to accommodate tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron glass improves clarity; protective treatments minimize spotting. For visual appeal and privacy, we offer patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mildew-resistant silicone, set even reveals, and fine-tune sweep compression to stop leaks. Your enclosure functions, fits, and endures.
Fast Fix Services, Emergency Board‑Ups, and Safety Standards
When glass breaks, you need a rapid, safe response that reinforces the opening and shields people and belongings. We arrive outfitted with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and custom-sized panels to secure the site. After isolating the area, we remove loose shards, assess conditions, 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, preserve drainage paths, and label hazards. Our technicians verify safe egress, child/pet zones, and alarm sensors. You leave here with a stabilized opening and a confirmed follow‑up plan.
Dealing with Permits, Codes, and HOA Requirements
Since code compliance ensures safety and resale value, we begin your project by determining 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 verify scope, assign responsibilities, and establish Permit timelines so you know when work begins and inspections take place. We manage submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design elements with community standards to avoid 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. During work, we maintain jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. After approval, we store permits for your records and future resale.
Choosing the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Prior to ordering any single pane, we align 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 clear views, Low‑iron glass provides true color; for privacy, we provide acid‑etched or switchable options. In wet zones, we specify corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then coordinate Hardware finishes with your fixtures for durability and cohesion.
We catalog spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to protect 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, safeguarding your investment and safety over the long term.
