Energy-Efficient Window Replacement and Upgrades
While your current windows appear adequate, energy‑efficient replacements can reduce heat loss, reduce utility bills, and enhance comfort without jeopardizing 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 compromising visible light. We analyze orientation, local climate, and code requirements to specify glazing that satisfies ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.
Glass is only part of the equation—window framing enhancements are equally important. We advise insulated vinyl, thermally broken aluminum, or fiberglass 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. You'll get clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties matching manufacturer specifications.
Bespoke Shower Surrounds and Glass Components
As you upgrade your home's glass, custom shower enclosures offer precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance designed for your space. We field-measure openings, confirm wall plumb, and select tempered or laminated safety glass to comply with regulations and reduce flex. You select frameless enclosures for reduced hardware and simple maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for defined edges and budget control.
We design door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to fit tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron panels enhance clarity; protective treatments minimize spotting. For aesthetics and privacy, we offer patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mold-resistant silicone, establish even reveals, and calibrate sweep compression to prevent leaks. Your enclosure performs, fits, and lasts.
Fast Restoration Work, Urgent Board‑Ups, and Safety Standards
When glass is broken, you require a swift, protected response that reinforces the opening and shields people and belongings. We come prepared with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and pre-cut panels to secure website the site. After cordoning off the area, we clear loose pieces, document the scene, and install rigid board‑ups 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, maintain drainage paths, and label hazards. Our technicians verify safe egress, child/pet zones, and alarm sensors. You leave with a stabilized opening and a confirmed follow‑up plan.
Navigating Permits, Codes, and HOA Requirements
Because code compliance safeguards safety and resale value, we begin your project by outlining the exact approvals your address needs: city permits, energy codes (Washington State Energy Code), safety glazing requirements (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 eliminate delays.
You'll receive comprehensive Code updates impacting glass placement and opening measurements. Ahead of installation, we execute verification checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. While performing work, we ensure jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Once we receive approval, we maintain permits for your records and future resale.
Choosing 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 designate tempered or laminated safety glazing where code requires, then optimize U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and clear views, Low‑iron glass provides true color; for privacy, we offer acid‑etched or switchable options. In wet zones, we choose 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 maintain warranty integrity. You will know exactly what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We record warranties, deliver care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, safeguarding your investment and safety long‑term.
