Energy-Efficient Window Replacement and Upgrades
Even though your current windows seem fine, energy‑efficient replacements can cut 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 sacrificing visible light. We analyze 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 advise insulated vinyl, fiberglass, or thermally broken aluminum frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to prevent air leakage and condensation. Proper anchoring, shims, and flashing integrate units with your weather barrier, safeguarding structure and occupants. We provide clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties consistent with manufacturer specifications.
Personalized Shower Enclosures and Glass Components
While upgrading your home's glass, custom shower enclosures provide precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance customized for your space. We carefully measure openings, verify wall plumb, and designate tempered or laminated safety glass to satisfy building codes and reduce flex. You pick frameless enclosures for reduced hardware and simple maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for distinct edges and budget control.
We calculate door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to fit tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron glass enhances visual clarity; protective finishes prevent 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, create even reveals, and regulate sweep compression to prevent leaks. Your enclosure performs, fits, and lasts.
Fast Repairs, Immediate Board‑Ups, and Security Standards
When 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 custom-sized panels to protect the location. After cordoning off the area, we extract loose fragments, record the situation, and install sturdy board-ups or interim glazing to restore weatherproofing, safety, and energy efficiency.
You get 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, 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.
Managing Permits, Codes, and HOA Requirements
As code compliance safeguards safety and resale value, we begin your project by identifying the exact approvals your address demands: city permits, energy codes (WA State Energy Code), safety glazing rules (tempered/laminated near doors, wet areas, and low sills), egress dimensions, and wind/seismic standards. We validate scope, assign responsibilities, and set Permit timelines so you know when work begins and inspections happen. We manage submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design details with community standards to minimize delays.
We deliver comprehensive Code updates impacting glass placement and opening sizes. Before installation, we perform Inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. Throughout work, we preserve jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Upon approval, we store permits for your records and future resale.
Choosing the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Before ordering a single pane, we align glass types and hardware to your home's exposures, safety zones, and performance goals. We designate tempered or laminated safety glazing where code demands, then optimize U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and sharp views, Low‑iron glass offers true color; for privacy, we provide acid‑etched or switchable alternatives. In wet zones, we choose 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, deliver care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, safeguarding your investment and safety over the long term.
