High-Efficiency Window Upgrades and Replacement
While your current windows appear adequate, energy‑efficient replacements can decrease heat loss, reduce utility bills, and boost comfort without compromising 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 compromising visible light. We evaluate orientation, local climate, and code requirements to specify glazing that satisfies ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.
Glass is only part of the equation—window framing enhancements are equally important. We advise insulated vinyl, thermally broken aluminum, or fiberglass frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to prevent air leakage and condensation. Proper anchoring, shims, and flashing incorporate units with your weather barrier, safeguarding occupants and structure. We provide clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties consistent with manufacturer specifications.
Custom Shower Surrounds and Glass Elements
When you're enhancing your home's glass, custom shower enclosures offer precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance tailored to your space. We take precise measurements of openings, confirm wall plumb, and select tempered or laminated safety glass to satisfy building codes and limit flex. You pick frameless enclosures for reduced hardware and effortless maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for defined edges and budget control.
We calculate door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to accommodate tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron glass enhances visual clarity; protective coatings reduce spotting. For style and privacy, we include patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mold-inhibiting silicone, establish even reveals, and calibrate sweep compression to eliminate leaks. Your enclosure functions, fits, and endures.
Quick Repair Services, Immediate Board‑Ups, and Protection Standards
When glass is broken, you require a fast, safe solution that stabilizes the gap and protects individuals and property. We show up equipped with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and custom-sized panels to safeguard the area. After securing the zone, we clear loose pieces, assess conditions, and install sturdy board-ups or interim glazing to restore weather protection, security, and climate 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 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.
Handling Permits, Codes, and HOA Requirements
Since code compliance protects safety and resale value, we start your project by identifying the exact approvals your address requires: 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 requirements. We confirm scope, assign responsibilities, and establish permit timelines so you know when work begins and inspections happen. We process submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design specifications with community standards to avoid delays.
You'll receive clear Code updates concerning glass placement and opening sizes. Prior to installation, we execute verification checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. Throughout work, we maintain jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Following 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 check here goals. We designate 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 provides true color; for privacy, we supply acid‑etched or switchable solutions. In wet zones, we choose corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then match Hardware finishes with your fixtures for durability and cohesion.
We catalog spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to guarantee warranty integrity. You'll know what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We record warranties, provide care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, securing your investment and safety over the long term.
