High-Efficiency Window Replacement and Improvement
Even if website your current windows look satisfactory, energy‑efficient replacements can cut heat loss, lower utility bills, and enhance comfort without jeopardizing safety. You'll obtain measurable performance by combining Low‑E upgrades with gas fills and warm‑edge spacers to minimize U‑factor and solar heat gain without sacrificing 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 vinyl, thermally broken aluminum, or fiberglass 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, protecting both structure and occupants. You'll get clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties aligned with manufacturer specifications.
Bespoke Shower Installations and Glass Accents
While you're upgrading your home's glass, custom shower enclosures offer precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance tailored to your space. We field-measure openings, confirm wall plumb, and designate tempered or laminated safety glass to satisfy building codes and limit flex. You pick frameless enclosures for minimal hardware and effortless maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for clear edges and budget control.
We engineer door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to fit tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron panels enhance clarity; protective coatings reduce spotting. For aesthetics and privacy, we offer patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mildew-resistant silicone, establish even reveals, and regulate sweep compression to avoid water leakage. Your enclosure performs, fits, and lasts.
Fast Repairs, Immediate Board‑Ups, and Safety Standards
When glass is broken, you require a quick, secure response that stabilizes the gap and protects individuals and property. We show up equipped with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and measured panels to protect the location. After containing the space, we remove loose shards, document the scene, and install rigid boarding or temporary glazing to restore weather resistance, security, and thermal 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, preserve 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.
Handling Building Permits, Codes, and HOA Rules
Since code compliance ensures safety and resale value, we start your project by determining the exact approvals your address requires: city permits, energy codes (Washington State Energy Code), safety glazing rules (tempered/laminated near doors, wet areas, and low sills), egress dimensions, and wind/seismic standards. We establish scope, assign responsibilities, and provide permit timelines so you know when work begins and inspections occur. We oversee submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design details with community standards to eliminate delays.
We provide clear Code updates related to glass placement and opening measurements. Before installation, we conduct Inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. In the course of work, we copyright jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Upon approval, we maintain permits for your records and future resale.
Picking the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Before ordering a single pane, we match glass types and hardware to your residence's exposures, safety zones, and performance objectives. We select tempered or laminated safety glazing where code requires, then fine-tune 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 options. In wet zones, we specify corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then match Hardware finishes with your fixtures for durability and cohesion.
We record spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to protect warranty integrity. You'll understand what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We record warranties, offer care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, protecting your investment and safety for the long haul.
