Energy-Saving Window Replacement and Improvement
While your current windows seem fine, energy‑efficient replacements can decrease heat loss, decrease utility bills, and boost comfort without jeopardizing 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 compromising visible light. We assess orientation, local climate, and code requirements to specify glazing that meets ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.
Window framing enhancements matter as much as glass. We recommend insulated vinyl, fiberglass, or thermally broken aluminum frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to stop website air leakage and condensation. Correct anchoring, shims, and flashing integrate units with your weather barrier, protecting both structure and occupants. You'll get clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties aligned with manufacturer specifications.
Custom Shower Systems and Glass Components
While you're upgrading your home's glass, custom shower enclosures deliver precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance designed for your space. We carefully measure openings, verify wall plumb, and select tempered or laminated safety glass to satisfy building codes and reduce flex. You choose frameless enclosures for reduced hardware and easy maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for defined edges and budget control.
We engineer door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to fit tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron glass enhances visual clarity; protective coatings reduce spotting. For privacy and style, we include patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mold-inhibiting silicone, establish even reveals, and regulate sweep compression to stop leaks. Your enclosure functions, fits, and endures.
Rapid Restoration Work, Urgent Board‑Ups, and Security Standards
When glass is broken, you require a quick, secure response that reinforces the opening and protects people and property. We arrive outfitted with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and pre-cut panels to secure the premises. After containing the space, we remove loose shards, record the situation, and install rigid boarding or temporary glazing to restore weather, security, and energy control.
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 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 Permits, Codes, and HOA Requirements
Since code compliance protects safety and resale value, we initiate your project by outlining 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 criteria. We establish scope, assign responsibilities, and provide permit timelines so you know when work commences and inspections occur. We process submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design specifications with community standards to eliminate delays.
We deliver detailed Code updates affecting glass placement and opening measurements. Ahead of installation, we run Inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. During work, we copyright jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Following approval, we maintain permits for your records and future resale.
Picking the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Prior to ordering any single pane, we pair glass types and hardware to your home's exposures, safety zones, and performance goals. We specify tempered or laminated safety glazing where code demands, then calibrate U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and sharp views, Low‑iron glass provides true color; for privacy, we offer acid‑etched or switchable solutions. In wet zones, we choose corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then coordinate Hardware finishes with your fixtures for lasting durability and visual cohesion.
We log spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to ensure warranty integrity. You'll be informed about what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We file warranties, offer care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, preserving your investment and safety long‑term.
