Energy-Saving Window Replacement and Upgrades
Even though your current windows seem fine, energy‑efficient replacements can decrease heat loss, lower utility bills, and improve comfort without sacrificing safety. You'll gain 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 evaluate orientation, local climate, and code requirements to specify glazing that fulfills ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.
The framing around your windows is just as critical as the glass itself. We recommend insulated vinyl, thermally broken aluminum, or fiberglass frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to eliminate air leakage and condensation. Appropriate anchoring, shims, and flashing incorporate units with your weather barrier, protecting occupants and structure. You'll receive clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties aligned with manufacturer specifications.
Personalized Shower Enclosures and Glass Elements
While upgrading your home's glass, custom shower enclosures offer precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance tailored to your space. We carefully measure openings, confirm wall plumb, and designate tempered or laminated safety glass to comply with regulations and minimize flex. You choose frameless enclosures for reduced hardware and effortless maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for clear edges and budget control.
We calculate door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to suit tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron panels increase transparency; protective finishes prevent spotting. For privacy and style, we feature patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with anti-mold silicone, ensure even reveals, and calibrate sweep compression to stop leaks. Your enclosure performs, fits, and lasts.
Quick Repairs, Emergency Board‑Ups, and Security Standards
When glass shatters, you require a quick, secure response that secures the breach and protects individuals and property. We show up equipped with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and custom-sized panels to protect the location. After containing the space, we clear loose pieces, document conditions, read more and install sturdy board-ups or interim glazing to 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 insulated, tempered, or laminated 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 Codes, Permits, and HOA Requirements
Because code compliance ensures safety and resale value, we initiate your project by outlining the exact approvals your address needs: 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 requirements. We confirm scope, assign responsibilities, and set Permit timelines so you know when work begins and inspections happen. We handle submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design elements with community standards to eliminate delays.
You'll get transparent Code updates impacting glass placement and opening measurements. Prior to installation, we execute verification checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. During work, we copyright jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Upon approval, we file permits for your records and future resale.
Choosing the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Before ordering a single pane, we align glass types and hardware to your residence's exposures, safety zones, and performance goals. We designate tempered or laminated safety glazing where code mandates, then fine-tune U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and sharp views, Low‑iron glass provides true color; for privacy, we provide 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 catalog spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to protect 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, safeguarding your investment and safety long‑term.
