High-Efficiency Window Replacement and Upgrades
While your current windows look satisfactory, energy‑efficient replacements can decrease heat loss, lower utility bills, and boost comfort without sacrificing 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 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 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, protecting occupants and structure. We provide clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties aligned with manufacturer specifications.
Bespoke Shower Enclosures and Glass Elements
While upgrading your home's glass, custom shower enclosures provide precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance tailored to your space. We carefully measure openings, check wall plumb, and designate tempered or laminated safety glass to comply with regulations and reduce flex. You pick frameless enclosures for less hardware and effortless maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for defined edges and budget control.
We design door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to suit tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron glass website improves clarity; protective coatings limit water spots. For privacy and style, we include patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with anti-mold silicone, establish even reveals, and adjust sweep compression to eliminate leaks. Your enclosure performs, fits, and lasts.
Quick Repairs, Urgent Board‑Ups, and Security Standards
When glass shatters, you require a rapid, safe response that secures the breach and shields people and belongings. We arrive outfitted with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and custom-sized panels to secure the site. After securing the zone, we extract loose fragments, document the scene, and install solid board-ups or temporary glass to restore weather, security, and energy control.
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 laminated, tempered, 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.
Handling Building Permits, Codes, and HOA Rules
Since code compliance ensures 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 requirements (tempered/laminated near doors, wet areas, and low sills), egress dimensions, and wind/seismic criteria. We validate scope, assign responsibilities, and set permit timelines so you know when work begins and inspections happen. We manage submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design details with community standards to eliminate delays.
You'll receive clear Code updates concerning glass placement and opening sizes. Ahead of installation, we conduct 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 file permits for your records and future resale.
Choosing the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Before ordering a single pane, we pair glass types and hardware to your residence's exposures, safety zones, and performance goals. We specify tempered or laminated safety glazing where code demands, then optimize U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and crisp views, Low‑iron glass delivers true color; for privacy, we offer acid‑etched or switchable alternatives. In wet zones, we choose corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then align Hardware finishes with your fixtures for cohesion and durability.
We record 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 document warranties, deliver care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, protecting your investment and safety over the long term.
