High-Efficiency Window Upgrades and Replacement
Even if your current windows look satisfactory, energy‑efficient replacements can decrease heat loss, lower 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 lower 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 suggest insulated fiberglass, vinyl, 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, safeguarding both structure and occupants. You'll receive clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties matching manufacturer specifications.
Personalized Shower Enclosures and Glass Elements
As you upgrade your home's glass, custom shower enclosures provide 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 reduce flex. You pick frameless enclosures for less hardware and effortless maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for distinct edges and budget control.
We calculate door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to accommodate tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron glass enhances visual clarity; protective coatings limit water spots. For style and privacy, we include patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with anti-mold silicone, establish even reveals, and regulate sweep compression to avoid water leakage. Your enclosure fits, functions, and lasts.
Quick Fix Services, Critical Board‑Ups, and Protection Standards
When glass is broken, you require a rapid, safe response 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 secure the premises. After containing the space, we clear loose pieces, assess conditions, and install rigid board‑ups or Temporary glazing 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, pet/child zones, and alarm sensors. You leave with a stabilized opening and a confirmed follow‑up plan.
Navigating Building Permits, Codes, and HOA Rules
Since code compliance ensures safety and resale value, we commence your project by outlining the exact approvals your address needs: 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 establish scope, assign responsibilities, and provide permit timelines so you know when work starts and inspections take place. We process submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design components with community standards to prevent delays.
You'll receive detailed Code updates impacting glass placement and opening sizes. Prior to installation, we conduct verification checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. Throughout work, we copyright jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. After approval, we maintain permits for your records and future resale.
Picking the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Prior to ordering any single pane, we align glass types and hardware to your home's exposures, safety zones, and performance goals. We select tempered or laminated safety glazing where code demands, then optimize 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 solutions. In wet zones, we specify corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then coordinate Hardware finishes with your fixtures for lasting durability and visual cohesion.
We log 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 record warranties, provide care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, safeguarding your investment and safety long‑term.
