Energy-Efficient Window Upgrades and Replacement
Even if your current windows look satisfactory, energy‑efficient replacements can reduce heat loss, reduce utility bills, and boost comfort without compromising safety. You'll gain measurable performance by combining Low‑E upgrades with gas fills and warm‑edge spacers to reduce U‑factor and solar heat gain without losing visible light. We assess orientation, local climate, and code requirements to specify glazing that meets ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.
The framing around your windows is just as critical as the glass itself. We suggest insulated vinyl, thermally broken aluminum, or fiberglass frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to stop air leakage and condensation. Proper anchoring, shims, and flashing integrate units with your weather barrier, safeguarding occupants and structure. We provide clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties aligned with manufacturer specifications.
Tailored Shower Systems and Glass Accents
When you're enhancing your home's glass, custom shower enclosures offer precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance tailored to your space. We take precise measurements check here of openings, confirm wall plumb, and specify tempered or laminated safety glass to satisfy building codes and limit flex. You select frameless enclosures for minimal hardware and simple maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for defined edges and budget control.
We engineer 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 privacy and style, we provide patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mold-resistant silicone, create even reveals, and fine-tune sweep compression to avoid water leakage. Your enclosure fits, functions, and lasts.
Prompt Repairs, Urgent Board‑Ups, and Protection Standards
When glass shatters, you require a rapid, safe response that stabilizes the opening and shields people and belongings. We arrive equipped with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and fitted panels to protect the location. After cordoning off the area, we extract loose fragments, document conditions, and install rigid boarding or temporary glazing to restore weather, security, and energy 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 laminated, tempered, 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, child/pet zones, and alarm sensors. You leave with a stabilized opening and a confirmed follow‑up plan.
Managing Permits, Building Codes, and HOA Regulations
As code compliance protects safety and resale value, we begin your project by determining the exact approvals your address requires: 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 requirements. We verify scope, assign responsibilities, and establish Permit timelines so you know when work commences and inspections happen. We oversee submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design details with community standards to eliminate delays.
You'll receive comprehensive Code updates concerning glass placement and opening sizes. Ahead of installation, we execute inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. In the course of work, we preserve jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. After approval, we maintain permits for your records and future resale.
Selecting the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Before ordering a single pane, we align glass types and hardware to your residence's exposures, safety zones, and performance goals. We specify tempered or laminated safety glazing where code mandates, then fine-tune U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and crisp views, Low‑iron glass offers true color; for privacy, we provide acid‑etched or switchable options. In wet zones, we specify 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 protect warranty integrity. You'll understand what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We record warranties, deliver care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, preserving your investment and safety long‑term.
