High-Efficiency Window Replacement and Upgrades
While your current windows look satisfactory, energy‑efficient replacements can reduce heat loss, reduce utility bills, and improve comfort without sacrificing safety. You'll achieve measurable performance by combining Low‑E upgrades with gas fills and warm‑edge spacers to lower U‑factor and solar heat gain without compromising visible light. We assess orientation, local climate, and code requirements to specify glazing that meets ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.
Window framing enhancements matter as much as glass. We recommend insulated vinyl, thermally broken aluminum, or fiberglass frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to stop air leakage and condensation. Appropriate anchoring, shims, and flashing incorporate units with your weather barrier, safeguarding both structure and occupants. We provide clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties matching manufacturer specifications.
Bespoke Shower Surrounds 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 carefully measure openings, check wall plumb, and select tempered or laminated safety glass to meet code and reduce flex. You choose frameless enclosures for less 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 panels enhance clarity; protective finishes prevent spotting. For visual appeal 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 fine-tune sweep compression to prevent leaks. Your enclosure functions, fits, and endures.
Prompt Restoration Work, Immediate Board‑Ups, and Safety Standards
If glass breaks, you need a swift, protected response that reinforces the opening and safeguards occupants and assets. We show up equipped 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 boarding or temporary glazing to here restore weather, security, and energy 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, pet/child zones, and alarm sensors. You leave with a stabilized opening and a confirmed follow‑up plan.
Navigating Permits, Building Codes, and HOA Regulations
Since code compliance ensures safety and resale value, we commence your project by identifying the exact approvals your address demands: 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 standards. We verify scope, assign responsibilities, and establish Permit timelines so you know when work starts and inspections take place. We manage submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design components with community standards to avoid delays.
We deliver detailed Code updates related to glass placement and opening sizes. Prior to installation, we run Inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. During work, we preserve jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. After approval, we store 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 residence's exposures, safety zones, and performance requirements. We designate tempered or laminated safety glazing where code requires, then optimize U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and sharp views, Low‑iron glass offers true color; for privacy, we provide acid‑etched or switchable solutions. In wet zones, we specify corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then align Hardware finishes with your fixtures for durability and cohesion.
We record spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to maintain warranty integrity. You'll understand what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We file warranties, deliver care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, securing your investment and safety long‑term.
