Energy-Saving Window Replacement and Improvement
While your current windows appear adequate, energy‑efficient replacements can cut heat loss, reduce utility bills, and boost comfort without compromising 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 compromising visible light. We evaluate orientation, local climate, and code requirements to specify glazing that meets ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.
Glass is only part of here the equation—window framing enhancements are equally important. We advise insulated fiberglass, vinyl, or thermally broken aluminum frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to eliminate air leakage and condensation. Proper anchoring, shims, and flashing connect units with your weather barrier, safeguarding both structure and occupants. We provide clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties aligned with manufacturer specifications.
Bespoke Shower Installations and Glass Features
When you're enhancing 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 specify tempered or laminated safety glass to satisfy building codes and limit flex. You pick frameless enclosures for less hardware and simple maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for clear edges and budget control.
We plan door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to match tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron glass enhances visual clarity; protective coatings reduce spotting. For visual appeal and privacy, we offer patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mold-resistant silicone, set even reveals, and fine-tune sweep compression to eliminate leaks. Your enclosure performs, fits, and lasts.
Fast Repairs, Emergency Board‑Ups, and Protection Standards
If glass breaks, you need a quick, secure response that reinforces the opening and protects people and property. We arrive outfitted with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and custom-sized panels to secure the premises. After cordoning off the area, we clear loose pieces, document conditions, and install sturdy board-ups or interim 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 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 with a stabilized opening and a confirmed follow‑up plan.
Handling Permits, Codes, and HOA Requirements
Because code compliance ensures safety and resale value, we commence your project by mapping the exact approvals your address requires: city permits, energy codes (WA State Energy Code), safety glazing standards (tempered/laminated near doors, wet areas, and low sills), egress dimensions, and wind/seismic standards. We establish scope, assign responsibilities, and establish Permit timelines so you know when work begins and inspections happen. We manage submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design details with community standards to prevent delays.
We provide detailed Code updates concerning glass placement and opening dimensions. Before installation, we run Inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. While performing work, we ensure jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Once we receive approval, we store permits for your records and future resale.
Choosing the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Before ordering a single pane, we pair glass types and hardware to your residence'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 crisp views, Low‑iron glass offers true color; for privacy, we provide acid‑etched or switchable alternatives. In wet zones, we specify corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then match Hardware finishes with your fixtures for lasting durability and visual cohesion.
We document spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to ensure warranty integrity. You will know exactly what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We file warranties, provide care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, safeguarding your investment and safety long‑term.
