Energy-Efficient Window Upgrades and Replacement
Even if your current windows look satisfactory, energy‑efficient replacements can reduce heat loss, decrease utility bills, and enhance comfort without sacrificing 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 losing visible light. We analyze orientation, local climate, and code requirements to specify glazing that meets ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.
Glass is only part of the equation—window framing enhancements are equally important. We recommend 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 integrate units with your weather barrier, safeguarding both structure and occupants. We provide clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties aligned with manufacturer specifications.
Tailored Shower Systems and Glass Components
While you're upgrading your home's glass, custom shower enclosures offer precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance customized for your space. We take precise measurements of openings, check wall plumb, and designate tempered or laminated safety glass to comply with regulations and reduce flex. You select frameless enclosures for minimal hardware and easy 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 increase transparency; protective coatings reduce spotting. For aesthetics and privacy, we feature patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mold-inhibiting silicone, set even reveals, and fine-tune sweep compression to eliminate leaks. Your enclosure fits, functions, and lasts.
Quick Fix Services, Emergency Board‑Ups, and Safety Standards
If glass breaks, you need a swift, protected response that reinforces the opening and safeguards occupants and assets. We show up equipped with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and custom-sized panels to secure the site. After containing the space, we eliminate loose shards, record the situation, and install solid board-ups or temporary glass to restore weather, security, and energy 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 insulated, tempered, or laminated glass matched to performance specs. We anchor boards to structural members only, maintain 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 Permits, Building Codes, and HOA Regulations
Since code compliance ensures safety and resale value, we begin your project by mapping the exact approvals your address requires: 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 requirements. We confirm scope, assign responsibilities, and publish permit timelines so you know when work starts and inspections take place. We handle submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design elements with community standards to avoid delays.
You'll get clear Code updates affecting glass placement and opening sizes. Ahead of installation, we conduct Inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. During work, we ensure jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Once we receive approval, we store permits for your records and future resale.
Choosing the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Prior to ordering any single pane, we pair glass types and hardware to your residence's exposures, safety zones, and performance objectives. We select tempered or laminated safety glazing where code demands, 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 options. In wet zones, we specify corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then coordinate Hardware finishes with your fixtures for durability and cohesion.
We log spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to maintain warranty integrity. You'll know what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We register warranties, deliver care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, protecting your investment and safety for the long haul.
