Energy-Efficient Window Replacement and Upgrades
Even if your current windows seem fine, energy‑efficient replacements can cut heat loss, reduce utility bills, and boost comfort without compromising 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 evaluate orientation, local climate, and code requirements to specify glazing that fulfills ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.
Window framing enhancements matter as much as glass. We recommend insulated fiberglass, vinyl, or thermally broken aluminum frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to eliminate air leakage and condensation. Correct anchoring, shims, and flashing connect units with your weather barrier, safeguarding occupants and structure. We provide clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties consistent with manufacturer specifications.
Bespoke Shower Systems and Glass Features
While you're upgrading your home's glass, custom shower enclosures offer precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance tailored to your space. We take precise measurements of openings, check wall plumb, and select tempered or laminated safety glass to comply with regulations and limit flex. You choose frameless enclosures for minimal hardware and effortless maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for distinct edges and budget control.
We plan 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 privacy and style, we include patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with anti-mold silicone, set even reveals, and fine-tune sweep compression to stop leaks. Your enclosure fits, functions, and lasts.
Rapid Restoration Work, Urgent Board‑Ups, and Protection Standards
When glass breaks, you need a swift, protected response that reinforces the opening and protects people and property. We come prepared with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and measured panels to protect the location. After containing the space, we extract loose fragments, document conditions, and install rigid boarding or temporary 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 insulated, tempered, or laminated glass matched to performance specs. We anchor boards to structural members only, protect 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, Building Codes, and HOA Regulations
Since code compliance ensures safety and resale value, we commence your project by mapping the exact approvals your address requires: city permits, energy codes (Washington State Energy Code), safety glazing standards (tempered/laminated near doors, wet areas, and low sills), egress dimensions, and wind/seismic requirements. We confirm scope, assign responsibilities, and set permit timelines so you know when work commences and inspections take place. We process submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design specifications with community standards to prevent delays.
You'll receive comprehensive Code updates concerning glass placement and opening dimensions. Ahead of installation, we conduct verification checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. Throughout work, we preserve jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Upon approval, we maintain 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 objectives. We specify 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 provides true website color; for privacy, we offer acid‑etched or switchable alternatives. In wet zones, we select corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then coordinate Hardware finishes with your fixtures for durability and cohesion.
We document spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to protect 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, protecting your investment and safety over the long term.
