Energy-Saving Window Replacement and Improvement
Even if your current windows look satisfactory, energy‑efficient replacements can decrease heat loss, lower utility bills, and improve 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 sacrificing visible light. We analyze 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 vinyl, thermally broken aluminum, or fiberglass frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to prevent air leakage and condensation. Appropriate 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 Enclosures and Glass Components
While upgrading your home's glass, custom shower enclosures provide precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance customized for your space. We carefully measure openings, check wall plumb, and select tempered or laminated safety glass to satisfy building codes and minimize flex. You select frameless enclosures for minimal hardware and simple maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for defined edges and budget control.
We calculate door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to fit tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron glass 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 mold-inhibiting silicone, establish even reveals, and fine-tune sweep compression to eliminate leaks. Your enclosure fits perfectly, works flawlessly, and endures.
Rapid Repair Services, Emergency Board‑Ups, and Safety Standards
If glass breaks, you need a swift, protected response that secures the breach and shields people and belongings. We arrive equipped with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and fitted panels to safeguard the area. After isolating the area, we eliminate loose shards, record the situation, and install rigid board‑ups 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, protect 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
Because code compliance protects safety and resale value, we start your project by outlining the exact approvals your address needs: city permits, energy codes (WA State Energy Code), safety glazing standards (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 read more when work starts and inspections occur. We process submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design components with community standards to prevent delays.
We provide clear Code updates impacting glass placement and opening dimensions. Before installation, we perform Inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. Throughout work, we maintain jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Upon 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 home's exposures, safety zones, and performance goals. We specify tempered or laminated safety glazing where code requires, then fine-tune U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and sharp views, Low‑iron glass offers true color; for privacy, we supply acid‑etched or switchable solutions. In wet zones, we specify corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then coordinate Hardware finishes with your fixtures for durability and cohesion.
We catalog spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to maintain warranty integrity. You'll know what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We register warranties, supply care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, safeguarding your investment and safety for the long haul.
