Energy-Saving Window Upgrades and Replacement
Even though your current windows appear adequate, energy‑efficient replacements can cut heat loss, lower utility bills, and boost comfort without compromising safety. You'll achieve measurable performance by combining Low‑E upgrades with gas fills and warm‑edge spacers to reduce 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 fiberglass, vinyl, or thermally broken aluminum frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to stop air leakage and condensation. Correct anchoring, shims, and flashing connect units with your weather barrier, preserving structure and occupants. You'll receive clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties consistent with manufacturer specifications.
Bespoke Shower Installations 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, check wall plumb, and select tempered or laminated safety glass to comply with regulations and limit flex. You choose frameless enclosures for reduced hardware and simple maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for defined edges and budget control.
We plan door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to accommodate tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron panels increase transparency; protective treatments minimize spotting. For aesthetics and privacy, we include patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mold-resistant silicone, set even reveals, and adjust sweep compression to stop leaks. Your enclosure fits perfectly, works flawlessly, and endures.
Fast Fix Services, Immediate Board‑Ups, and Safety Standards
If glass breaks, you need a fast, safe solution that reinforces the opening and shields people and belongings. We show up equipped with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and pre-cut panels to safeguard the area. After securing the zone, we clear loose pieces, record the situation, and install rigid board‑ups or Temporary glazing to restore weather resistance, security, and thermal 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 insulated, tempered, or laminated 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.
Managing HOA Requirements, Permits, and Codes
As code compliance safeguards safety and resale value, we start your project by identifying the exact approvals your address demands: 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 criteria. We validate scope, assign responsibilities, and establish Permit timelines so you know when work starts and inspections happen. We manage submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design elements with community standards to avoid delays.
We provide clear Code updates related to glass placement and opening sizes. Before installation, we perform Inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. While performing work, we ensure jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Upon approval, we archive permits for your records and future resale.
Picking the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Before we order a single pane, we align glass types and hardware to your property's exposures, safety zones, and performance objectives. We select tempered or laminated safety glazing where code requires, then calibrate 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 alternatives. In wet zones, we choose corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then match Hardware finishes read more with your fixtures for lasting durability and visual cohesion.
We catalog spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to ensure warranty integrity. You will know exactly what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We record warranties, provide care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, preserving your investment and safety over the long term.
