High-Efficiency Window Replacement and Upgrades
While your current windows look satisfactory, energy‑efficient replacements can decrease heat loss, lower utility check here bills, and boost comfort without jeopardizing 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 losing visible light. We analyze orientation, local climate, and code requirements to specify glazing that meets ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.
The framing around your windows is just as critical as the glass itself. We recommend insulated fiberglass, vinyl, or thermally broken aluminum frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to stop 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 matching manufacturer specifications.
Bespoke Shower Surrounds and Glass Accents
While upgrading your home's glass, custom shower enclosures deliver precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance customized for your space. We take precise measurements of openings, verify wall plumb, and specify tempered or laminated safety glass to meet code and minimize flex. You pick frameless enclosures for less hardware and simple maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for clear edges and budget control.
We design door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to suit tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron panels enhance clarity; protective finishes prevent spotting. For privacy and style, we include patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mold-resistant silicone, ensure even reveals, and regulate sweep compression to prevent leaks. Your enclosure performs, fits, and lasts.
Rapid Repair Services, Urgent Board‑Ups, and Safety Standards
If glass breaks, you need a fast, safe solution that stabilizes the gap and shields people and belongings. We arrive equipped with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and fitted panels to safeguard the area. After cordoning off the area, we remove loose shards, record the situation, and install rigid boarding or temporary glazing to restore weather protection, security, and climate 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, protect 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.
Handling Permits, Codes, and HOA Requirements
Since code compliance safeguards safety and resale value, we start your project by determining the exact approvals your address needs: city permits, energy codes (Washington State Energy Code), safety glazing rules (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 commences and inspections occur. We handle submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design components with community standards to minimize delays.
We deliver transparent Code updates impacting glass placement and opening dimensions. Before installation, we run verification checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. During work, we maintain jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. After approval, we file permits for your records and future resale.
Selecting the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Prior to ordering any single pane, we pair glass types and hardware to your residence's exposures, safety zones, and performance objectives. We select 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 offers true color; for privacy, we supply acid‑etched or switchable alternatives. In wet zones, we select corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then coordinate Hardware finishes with your fixtures for cohesion and durability.
We catalog spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to guarantee warranty integrity. You will know exactly what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We document warranties, deliver care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, securing your investment and safety over the long term.
