Energy-Efficient Window Upgrades and Replacement
Even if your current windows seem fine, energy‑efficient replacements can reduce heat loss, reduce utility bills, and enhance comfort without jeopardizing safety. You'll gain 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 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 advise insulated fiberglass, vinyl, or thermally broken aluminum 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, preserving both structure and occupants. You'll get clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties aligned with manufacturer specifications.
Bespoke Shower Surrounds and Glass Accents
As you upgrade your home's glass, custom shower enclosures offer precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance customized for your space. We take precise measurements of openings, confirm wall plumb, and designate tempered or laminated safety glass to meet code and reduce flex. You select frameless enclosures for reduced 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 accommodate tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron panels increase transparency; protective treatments minimize spotting. For visual appeal and privacy, we offer here patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with anti-mold silicone, ensure even reveals, and adjust sweep compression to prevent leaks. Your enclosure fits, functions, and lasts.
Quick Fix Services, Emergency Board‑Ups, and Security Standards
When glass breaks, you need a fast, safe solution that stabilizes the gap and safeguards occupants and assets. We arrive outfitted with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and measured panels to protect the location. After cordoning off the area, we eliminate loose shards, document the scene, and install rigid boarding or temporary glazing to restore weather protection, security, and climate 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, pet/child zones, and alarm sensors. You leave with a stabilized opening and a confirmed follow‑up plan.
Dealing with Permits, Codes, and HOA Requirements
As code compliance ensures safety and resale value, we start your project by determining the exact approvals your address needs: city permits, energy codes (Washington State Energy Code), safety glazing regulations (tempered/laminated near doors, wet areas, and low sills), egress dimensions, and wind/seismic criteria. We confirm scope, assign responsibilities, and establish Permit timelines so you know when work begins and inspections take place. We process submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design details with community standards to eliminate delays.
We deliver comprehensive Code updates affecting glass placement and opening sizes. Ahead of installation, we execute verification checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. While performing work, we maintain jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Once we receive approval, we maintain permits for your records and future resale.
Picking the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Prior to ordering any single pane, we match glass types and hardware to your property's exposures, safety zones, and performance goals. We designate tempered or laminated safety glazing where code demands, then calibrate U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and clear views, Low‑iron glass offers true color; for privacy, we supply acid‑etched or switchable options. In wet zones, we select 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 will know exactly what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We document warranties, provide care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, preserving your investment and safety in the long run.
