Energy-Saving Window Replacement and Improvement
Even though your current windows look satisfactory, energy‑efficient replacements can reduce 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 reduce U‑factor and solar heat gain without compromising visible light. We evaluate orientation, local climate, and code requirements to specify glazing that fulfills ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.
Glass is only part of the equation—window framing enhancements are equally important. We suggest insulated fiberglass, vinyl, or thermally broken aluminum frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to stop air leakage and condensation. Appropriate 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 consistent with manufacturer specifications.
Custom Shower Enclosures and Glass Elements
While upgrading your home's glass, custom shower enclosures deliver precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance designed for your space. We field-measure openings, confirm wall plumb, and designate tempered or laminated safety glass to comply with regulations and limit flex. You select frameless enclosures for minimal hardware and effortless maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for clear edges and budget control.
We calculate door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to suit tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron panels increase transparency; protective treatments minimize spotting. For visual appeal and privacy, we feature patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mildew-resistant silicone, establish even reveals, and fine-tune sweep compression to prevent leaks. Your enclosure fits, functions, and lasts.
Swift Restoration Work, Immediate Board‑Ups, and Protection Standards
When glass breaks, you need a quick, secure response that reinforces the opening and safeguards occupants and assets. We arrive equipped with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and custom-sized panels to secure the site. After isolating the area, we remove loose shards, document conditions, and install solid board-ups or temporary glass 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, maintain 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.
Navigating HOA Requirements, Permits, and Codes
Because code compliance protects safety and resale value, we initiate your project by mapping the exact approvals your address demands: city permits, energy codes (WA State Energy Code), safety glazing regulations (tempered/laminated near doors, wet areas, and low sills), egress dimensions, and wind/seismic criteria. We validate scope, assign responsibilities, and publish Permit timelines so you know when work commences 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 receive transparent Code updates affecting glass placement and opening measurements. Ahead of installation, we conduct verification checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. During work, we ensure jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Following approval, we archive permits for your records and future resale.
Picking the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Before ordering a single pane, we align glass types and hardware to your property's exposures, safety zones, and performance requirements. We select tempered or laminated safety glazing where code mandates, then optimize U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and clear views, Low‑iron glass provides true color; for privacy, we offer acid‑etched or switchable solutions. In wet zones, we choose corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then coordinate Hardware finishes with your fixtures for durability and cohesion.
We record spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to ensure warranty integrity. You'll be informed about what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We document warranties, deliver care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, preserving your investment and safety over the long term.
