Energy-Efficient Window Replacement and Upgrades
While your current windows seem fine, energy‑efficient replacements can cut heat loss, reduce 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 satisfies ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.
Window framing enhancements matter as much as glass. We advise insulated vinyl, thermally broken aluminum, or fiberglass frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to prevent air leakage and condensation. Appropriate anchoring, shims, and flashing integrate units with your weather barrier, preserving occupants and structure. We provide clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties matching manufacturer specifications.
Tailored Shower Systems and Glass Elements
While you're upgrading your home's glass, custom shower enclosures deliver precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance tailored to your space. We field-measure openings, verify wall plumb, and designate tempered or laminated safety glass to satisfy building codes and reduce flex. You pick frameless enclosures for less hardware and simple maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for defined edges and budget control.
We plan door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to match tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron panels increase transparency; protective finishes prevent spotting. For visual appeal and privacy, we offer patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with anti-mold silicone, set even reveals, and fine-tune sweep compression to eliminate leaks. Your enclosure fits, functions, and lasts.
Swift Restoration Work, Urgent Board‑Ups, and Safety Standards
If glass breaks, you need a quick, secure response that stabilizes the opening and shields people and belongings. We arrive equipped with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and measured panels to safeguard the area. After containing the space, we eliminate loose shards, assess conditions, and install solid board-ups or temporary glass to restore weather, security, and energy control.
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 insulated, tempered, or laminated glass matched to performance specs. We anchor boards to structural members only, protect 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 Permits, Building Codes, and HOA Regulations
Since code compliance ensures safety and resale value, we begin your project by determining the exact approvals your address demands: 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 verify scope, assign responsibilities, and set permit timelines so you know when work starts and inspections take place. We manage submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design specifications with community standards to avoid delays.
You'll get clear Code updates impacting glass placement and opening dimensions. Before installation, we conduct verification checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. While performing work, we copyright jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Upon approval, we file permits for your records and future resale.
Picking 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 designate tempered or laminated here safety glazing where code requires, then fine-tune U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and sharp views, Low‑iron glass delivers true color; for privacy, we provide acid‑etched or switchable options. In wet zones, we choose corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then coordinate Hardware finishes with your fixtures for lasting durability and visual cohesion.
We catalog 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, offer care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, protecting your investment and safety for the long haul.
