High-Efficiency Window Replacement and Upgrades
While your current windows seem fine, energy‑efficient replacements can cut heat loss, lower utility bills, and enhance comfort without jeopardizing safety. You'll achieve measurable performance by combining Low‑E upgrades with gas fills and warm‑edge spacers to lower U‑factor and solar heat gain without sacrificing visible light. We evaluate 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 eliminate air leakage and condensation. Appropriate anchoring, shims, and flashing connect units with your weather barrier, protecting structure and occupants. We provide clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties matching manufacturer specifications.
Personalized Shower Installations and Glass Accents
While you're upgrading your home's glass, custom shower enclosures provide precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance tailored to your space. We take precise measurements of openings, check wall plumb, and designate tempered or laminated safety glass to comply with regulations and minimize flex. You select frameless enclosures for less hardware and easy maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for defined edges and budget control.
We calculate door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to fit tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron glass enhances visual clarity; protective finishes prevent spotting. For aesthetics and privacy, we provide 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 prevent leaks. Your enclosure functions, fits, and endures.
Swift Repairs, Immediate Board‑Ups, and Safety Standards
When glass shatters, you require a fast, safe solution that stabilizes the gap and safeguards occupants and assets. We arrive equipped with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and measured panels to secure the premises. After securing the zone, we eliminate loose shards, assess conditions, and install rigid boarding 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, child/pet zones, and alarm sensors. You leave with a stabilized opening and a confirmed follow‑up plan.
Dealing with Permits, Building Codes, and HOA Regulations
Because code compliance protects safety and resale value, we begin your project by outlining the exact approvals your address needs: city permits, energy codes (WA State Energy Code), safety glazing requirements (tempered/laminated near doors, wet areas, and low sills), egress dimensions, and wind/seismic criteria. We verify scope, assign responsibilities, and set Permit timelines so you know when work commences and inspections occur. We manage submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design elements with community standards to avoid delays.
We deliver transparent Code updates impacting glass placement and opening dimensions. Prior to installation, we execute Inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. In the course of work, we preserve jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Once we receive approval, we store permits for your records and future resale.
Selecting the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Before we order a 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 fine-tune U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and clear views, Low‑iron glass delivers true color; for privacy, we offer acid‑etched or switchable alternatives. In wet zones, we choose corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then align Hardware finishes with your fixtures for cohesion and durability.
We catalog spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to protect warranty integrity. You'll be informed about what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We record check here warranties, offer care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, preserving your investment and safety in the long run.
Frequently Asked Questions
