Energy-Efficient Window Replacement and Improvement
While your current windows appear adequate, energy‑efficient replacements can reduce heat loss, lower utility bills, and boost comfort without sacrificing 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 losing visible light. We evaluate orientation, local climate, and code requirements to specify glazing that fulfills ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.
Glass is only part of the equation—window framing enhancements are equally important. We suggest insulated fiberglass, vinyl, or thermally broken aluminum frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to stop air leakage and condensation. Appropriate anchoring, shims, and flashing incorporate units with your weather barrier, protecting structure and occupants. We provide clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties consistent with manufacturer specifications.
Bespoke Shower Enclosures and Glass Elements
While 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, confirm wall plumb, and specify tempered or laminated safety glass to meet code and limit flex. You pick frameless enclosures for less hardware and effortless maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for distinct edges and budget control.
We engineer door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to accommodate tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron glass improves clarity; protective finishes prevent spotting. For visual appeal and privacy, we feature patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mildew-resistant silicone, set even reveals, and adjust sweep compression to stop leaks. Your enclosure functions, fits, and endures.
Rapid Restoration Work, Emergency Board‑Ups, and Security Standards
When glass is broken, you require a swift, protected response that reinforces the opening and protects individuals and property. We arrive outfitted with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and pre-cut panels to secure the site. After securing the zone, we extract loose fragments, record the situation, and install solid board-ups or temporary glass to restore weather protection, security, and climate control.
We provide you with 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, 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.
Dealing with Building Permits, Codes, and HOA Rules
As code compliance safeguards safety and resale value, we begin your project by outlining 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 establish scope, assign responsibilities, and publish Permit timelines so you know when work commences and inspections take place. We oversee submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design elements with community standards to eliminate delays.
You'll receive detailed Code updates concerning glass placement and opening dimensions. Prior to installation, we conduct Inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. In the course of work, we copyright jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Upon approval, we store permits for your records and future resale.
Choosing 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 requirements. We designate tempered or laminated safety glazing where code mandates, then calibrate U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and sharp views, Low‑iron glass provides true color; for privacy, we provide acid‑etched or switchable options. In wet zones, we specify corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then match Hardware finishes with your fixtures for durability and cohesion.
We catalog 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, securing your investment and safety in the long run.
