High-Efficiency Window Replacement and Improvement
Even if your current windows seem fine, energy‑efficient replacements can reduce heat loss, reduce utility bills, and enhance comfort without compromising safety. You'll gain 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.
The framing around your windows is just as critical as the glass itself. We suggest insulated vinyl, thermally broken aluminum, or fiberglass frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam website to stop air leakage and condensation. Proper anchoring, shims, and flashing connect units with your weather barrier, preserving occupants and structure. We provide clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties matching manufacturer specifications.
Custom Shower Systems and Glass Components
As you upgrade your home's glass, custom shower enclosures deliver precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance designed for your space. We field-measure openings, verify wall plumb, and select 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 design door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to match tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron panels enhance clarity; protective finishes prevent spotting. For style and privacy, we include patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mold-inhibiting silicone, create even reveals, and calibrate sweep compression to prevent leaks. Your enclosure performs, fits, and lasts.
Quick Restoration Work, Immediate Board‑Ups, and Security Standards
When glass is broken, you require a rapid, safe response that secures the breach and protects people and property. We arrive equipped with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and measured panels to protect the location. After isolating the area, we remove loose shards, assess conditions, and install rigid boarding or temporary glazing to restore weather protection, security, and climate 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 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 Codes, Permits, and HOA Requirements
As code compliance safeguards safety and resale value, we initiate your project by identifying the exact approvals your address needs: city permits, energy codes (Washington State Energy Code), safety glazing requirements (tempered/laminated near doors, wet areas, and low sills), egress dimensions, and wind/seismic criteria. We confirm 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 elements with community standards to prevent delays.
We provide clear Code updates concerning glass placement and opening measurements. Ahead of installation, we perform inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. Throughout work, we copyright jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. After approval, we store permits for your records and future resale.
Picking 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 requirements. We specify tempered or laminated safety glazing where code requires, then fine-tune U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and crisp views, Low‑iron glass offers true color; for privacy, we offer acid‑etched or switchable options. In wet zones, we select 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 protect warranty integrity. You'll be informed about what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We file warranties, supply care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, securing your investment and safety for the long haul.
