High-Efficiency Window Replacement and Upgrades
While your current windows appear adequate, energy‑efficient replacements can reduce heat loss, lower utility bills, and boost comfort without jeopardizing safety. You'll achieve measurable performance by combining Low‑E upgrades with gas fills and warm‑edge spacers to reduce U‑factor and solar heat gain without losing visible light. We assess orientation, local climate, and code requirements to specify glazing that satisfies ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.
The framing around your windows is just as critical as the glass itself. We advise insulated vinyl, thermally broken aluminum, or fiberglass 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, protecting both structure and occupants. You'll receive clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties aligned with manufacturer specifications.
Tailored Shower Installations and Glass Accents
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, check wall plumb, and select tempered or laminated safety glass to meet code and minimize flex. You select frameless enclosures for minimal 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 match tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron panels enhance clarity; protective treatments minimize spotting. For visual appeal and privacy, we provide patterned interlayers and decorative etching more info with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mold-inhibiting silicone, ensure even reveals, and fine-tune sweep compression to eliminate leaks. Your enclosure performs, fits, and lasts.
Prompt Repair Services, Immediate Board‑Ups, and Protection Standards
When glass breaks, you need a quick, secure response that reinforces the opening and shields people and belongings. We arrive equipped with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and fitted panels to secure the premises. After cordoning off the area, we extract loose fragments, assess conditions, and install rigid board‑ups or Temporary glazing to restore weather resistance, security, and thermal 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 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, pet/child zones, and alarm sensors. You leave with a stabilized opening and a confirmed follow‑up plan.
Managing Building Permits, Codes, and HOA Rules
Since code compliance safeguards safety and resale value, we start your project by outlining the exact approvals your address requires: city permits, energy codes (Washington State Energy Code), safety glazing standards (tempered/laminated near doors, wet areas, and low sills), egress dimensions, and wind/seismic requirements. We verify scope, assign responsibilities, and publish Permit timelines so you know when work commences and inspections occur. We oversee submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design elements with community standards to minimize delays.
We provide detailed Code updates affecting glass placement and opening dimensions. Ahead of installation, we perform inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. During work, we preserve jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. After approval, we store permits for your records and future resale.
Selecting the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Prior to ordering any single pane, we align glass types and hardware to your residence's exposures, safety zones, and performance objectives. We select tempered or laminated safety glazing where code requires, then calibrate U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and crisp views, Low‑iron glass offers true color; for privacy, we supply acid‑etched or switchable options. In wet zones, we select corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then align Hardware finishes with your fixtures for lasting durability and visual cohesion.
We log spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to maintain warranty integrity. You will know exactly what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We register warranties, supply care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, protecting your investment and safety for the long haul.
