High-Efficiency Window Replacement and Upgrades
Even though your current windows look satisfactory, energy‑efficient replacements can decrease heat loss, reduce utility bills, and enhance 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 losing visible light. We assess orientation, local climate, and code requirements to specify glazing that meets ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.
The framing around your windows is just as critical as the glass itself. We suggest insulated vinyl, fiberglass, or thermally broken aluminum frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to eliminate air leakage and condensation. Appropriate anchoring, shims, and flashing incorporate units with your weather barrier, protecting both structure and occupants. You'll get clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties consistent with manufacturer specifications.
Personalized Shower Surrounds and Glass Accents
While 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 specify tempered or laminated safety glass to satisfy building codes and reduce flex. You choose frameless enclosures for minimal hardware and effortless maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for clear edges and budget control.
We design door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to fit tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron panels increase transparency; protective coatings reduce spotting. For style and privacy, we provide 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.
Fast Fix Services, Immediate Board‑Ups, and Safety Standards
If glass breaks, you need a fast, safe solution that reinforces the opening and shields people and belongings. We arrive equipped with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and measured panels to secure the site. After isolating the area, we clear loose pieces, document conditions, and install rigid board‑ups 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 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, pet/child zones, and alarm sensors. You leave with a stabilized opening and a confirmed follow‑up plan.
Handling Building Permits, Codes, and HOA Rules
As code compliance ensures safety and resale value, we initiate your project by outlining the exact approvals your address demands: 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 validate scope, assign responsibilities, and publish Permit timelines so you know when work starts and inspections occur. We oversee submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design components with community standards to avoid delays.
We deliver transparent Code updates related to glass placement and opening measurements. Before installation, we execute inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. In the course of check here work, we ensure jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Upon approval, we archive permits for your records and future resale.
Selecting the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Before we order a single pane, we match 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 optimize U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and crisp views, Low‑iron glass offers true color; for privacy, we supply acid‑etched or switchable options. In wet zones, we specify corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then match Hardware finishes with your fixtures for lasting durability and visual cohesion.
We catalog spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to ensure warranty integrity. You will know exactly what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We record warranties, provide care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, preserving your investment and safety over the long term.
