High-Efficiency Window Replacement and Improvement
While your current windows look satisfactory, energy‑efficient replacements can reduce heat loss, lower utility bills, and boost comfort without jeopardizing safety. You'll achieve measurable performance by combining Low‑E upgrades with gas fills and warm‑edge spacers to minimize U‑factor and solar heat gain without sacrificing visible light. We analyze orientation, local climate, and code requirements to specify glazing that satisfies ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.
The framing around your windows is just as critical as the glass itself. We advise insulated fiberglass, vinyl, or thermally broken aluminum 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, preserving structure and occupants. You'll get clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties aligned with manufacturer specifications.
Bespoke Shower Surrounds and Glass Elements
While upgrading your home's glass, custom shower enclosures offer precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance customized for your space. We carefully measure openings, confirm wall plumb, and designate tempered or laminated safety glass to satisfy building codes and reduce flex. You choose frameless enclosures for reduced hardware and simple maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for distinct edges and budget control.
We design door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to match tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron glass enhances visual clarity; protective finishes prevent spotting. For style and privacy, we offer patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mold-inhibiting silicone, establish even reveals, and adjust sweep compression to eliminate leaks. Your enclosure fits, functions, and lasts.
Swift Repair Services, Immediate Board‑Ups, and Protection Standards
When glass is broken, you require a fast, safe solution that stabilizes the gap and protects people and property. We arrive equipped with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and fitted panels to protect the location. After securing the zone, we remove loose shards, document conditions, and install rigid boarding or temporary glazing 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 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.
Managing Permits, Codes, and HOA Requirements
As code compliance ensures safety and resale value, we initiate your project by outlining 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 criteria. We confirm scope, assign responsibilities, and publish Permit timelines so you know when work commences and inspections occur. We oversee submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design specifications with community standards to eliminate delays.
You'll receive clear Code updates affecting glass placement and opening sizes. Ahead of installation, we execute inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. While performing work, we copyright jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Following approval, we archive permits for your records and future resale.
Selecting the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Before we order a single pane, we pair glass types and hardware to your home's exposures, safety zones, and performance objectives. We designate 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 provides true color; for privacy, we provide acid‑etched or switchable alternatives. In wet zones, we choose corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then coordinate Hardware finishes with your fixtures for cohesion and durability.
We record spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to guarantee warranty integrity. You'll understand 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.
