Energy-Saving Window Replacement and Improvement
While your current windows appear adequate, energy‑efficient replacements can reduce heat loss, lower utility bills, and enhance comfort without compromising 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 evaluate 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 recommend insulated vinyl, thermally broken aluminum, or fiberglass frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to prevent air leakage and condensation. Proper anchoring, shims, and flashing connect units with your weather barrier, protecting structure and occupants. We provide clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties aligned with manufacturer specifications.
Bespoke Shower Installations and Glass Accents
When you're enhancing your home's glass, custom shower enclosures deliver precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance designed for your space. We field-measure openings, check wall plumb, and specify tempered or laminated safety glass to meet code and reduce flex. You select frameless enclosures for reduced hardware and effortless maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for clear edges and budget control.
We calculate door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to match tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron glass enhances visual clarity; protective coatings limit water spots. For aesthetics and privacy, we feature patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with anti-mold silicone, set even reveals, and calibrate sweep compression to stop leaks. Your enclosure fits perfectly, works flawlessly, and endures.
Quick Fix Services, Urgent Board‑Ups, and Protection Standards
When glass is broken, you require a fast, safe solution that stabilizes the opening and protects individuals and property. We arrive outfitted with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and fitted panels to secure the premises. After containing the space, we remove loose shards, assess conditions, and install solid board-ups or temporary glass 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.
Understanding Codes, Permits, and HOA Requirements
Because code compliance ensures safety and resale value, we start your project by determining the exact approvals your address needs: city permits, energy codes (Washington State Energy Code), safety glazing rules (tempered/laminated near doors, wet areas, and low sills), egress dimensions, and wind/seismic requirements. We verify scope, assign responsibilities, and publish Permit timelines so you know when work starts and inspections take place. We manage submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design elements with community standards to prevent delays.
You'll receive comprehensive Code updates concerning glass placement and opening sizes. Prior to installation, we perform Inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. Throughout work, we maintain jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Once we receive 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 goals. We select tempered or laminated safety glazing where code requires, then calibrate U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and clear views, Low‑iron glass delivers true color; for privacy, we supply acid‑etched or switchable options. In wet zones, we choose corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then align Hardware finishes with your fixtures for cohesion and durability.
We catalog 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 file warranties, offer care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, safeguarding your investment and safety over the long term.
