Energy-Efficient Window Upgrades and Replacement
Even though your current windows look satisfactory, energy‑efficient replacements can reduce heat loss, decrease utility bills, and boost comfort without sacrificing safety. You'll obtain measurable performance by combining Low‑E upgrades with gas fills and warm‑edge spacers to reduce 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.
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 stop air leakage and condensation. Correct anchoring, shims, and flashing incorporate units with your weather barrier, protecting both structure and occupants. We provide clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties matching manufacturer specifications.
Custom Shower Enclosures and Glass Features
While you're upgrading your home's glass, custom shower enclosures offer precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance designed for your space. We field-measure openings, verify wall plumb, and designate tempered or laminated safety glass to comply with regulations and limit flex. You choose frameless enclosures for less hardware and simple maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for clear 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 finishes prevent spotting. For visual appeal and privacy, we provide patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures get more info on thresholds. We seal with mold-resistant silicone, establish even reveals, and calibrate sweep compression to stop leaks. Your enclosure functions, fits, and endures.
Quick Repair Services, Urgent Board‑Ups, and Security Standards
If glass breaks, you need a rapid, safe response that secures the breach and protects individuals and property. We come prepared with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and measured panels to secure the premises. After securing the zone, we clear loose pieces, assess conditions, and install solid board-ups or temporary glass 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, preserve 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.
Navigating Building Permits, Codes, and HOA Rules
As code compliance protects safety and resale value, we begin your project by determining the exact approvals your address needs: 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 establish scope, assign responsibilities, and provide Permit timelines so you know when work begins and inspections happen. We handle submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design elements with community standards to prevent delays.
We provide transparent Code updates affecting glass placement and opening measurements. Before installation, we conduct verification checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. Throughout work, we copyright jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Once we receive approval, we store permits for your records and future resale.
Selecting the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Before ordering a single pane, we match glass types and hardware to your home's exposures, safety zones, and performance requirements. We specify tempered or laminated safety glazing where code demands, then calibrate U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and crisp views, Low‑iron glass delivers true color; for privacy, we offer acid‑etched or switchable solutions. In wet zones, we specify corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then match Hardware finishes with your fixtures for durability and cohesion.
We record 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 register warranties, offer care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, preserving your investment and safety in the long run.
