High-Efficiency Window Replacement and Upgrades
While your current windows look satisfactory, energy‑efficient replacements can reduce heat loss, decrease utility bills, here and enhance comfort without compromising safety. You'll gain measurable performance by combining Low‑E upgrades with gas fills and warm‑edge spacers to minimize U‑factor and solar heat gain without compromising visible light. We evaluate orientation, local climate, and code requirements to specify glazing that satisfies ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.
Window framing enhancements matter as much as glass. We suggest insulated fiberglass, vinyl, or thermally broken aluminum frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to eliminate air leakage and condensation. Proper anchoring, shims, and flashing integrate units with your weather barrier, safeguarding structure and occupants. You'll receive clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties matching manufacturer specifications.
Custom Shower Enclosures and Glass Components
While you're upgrading your home's glass, custom shower enclosures offer precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance tailored to your space. We carefully measure openings, verify wall plumb, and designate tempered or laminated safety glass to comply with regulations and limit 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 glass improves clarity; protective treatments minimize spotting. For style and privacy, we include patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with anti-mold silicone, create even reveals, and calibrate sweep compression to stop leaks. Your enclosure fits perfectly, works flawlessly, and endures.
Prompt Repairs, Critical Board‑Ups, and Protection Standards
When glass is broken, you require a swift, protected response that reinforces the opening and safeguards occupants and assets. We come prepared with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and custom-sized panels to secure the site. After securing the zone, we clear loose pieces, assess conditions, and install rigid board‑ups or Temporary glazing to restore weather protection, security, and climate 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, protect 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.
Dealing with HOA Requirements, Permits, and Codes
Since code compliance ensures safety and resale value, we begin your project by mapping the exact approvals your address demands: city permits, energy codes (WA State Energy Code), safety glazing rules (tempered/laminated near doors, wet areas, and low sills), egress dimensions, and wind/seismic criteria. We confirm scope, assign responsibilities, and set permit timelines so you know when work starts and inspections take place. We handle submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design components with community standards to eliminate delays.
You'll get comprehensive Code updates related to glass placement and opening measurements. Before installation, we run Inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. While performing work, we copyright jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Following approval, we file permits for your records and future resale.
Picking the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Prior to ordering any single pane, we align glass types and hardware to your residence's exposures, safety zones, and performance objectives. We designate tempered or laminated safety glazing where code mandates, then calibrate U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and clear views, Low‑iron glass delivers true color; for privacy, we supply acid‑etched or switchable solutions. In wet zones, we choose corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then align Hardware finishes with your fixtures for lasting durability and visual cohesion.
We log spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to maintain warranty integrity. You'll be informed about what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We document warranties, deliver care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, securing your investment and safety for the long haul.
