Energy-Efficient Window Replacement and Improvement
Even though your current windows appear adequate, energy‑efficient replacements can reduce 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 lower U‑factor and solar heat gain without losing visible light. We evaluate orientation, local climate, and code requirements to specify glazing that fulfills 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 eliminate air leakage and condensation. Proper anchoring, shims, and flashing integrate units with your weather barrier, preserving structure and occupants. You'll receive clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties aligned with manufacturer specifications.
Custom Shower Installations and Glass Elements
While you're upgrading your home's glass, custom shower enclosures deliver precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance tailored to your space. We field-measure openings, verify wall plumb, and designate tempered or laminated safety glass to meet code and reduce flex. You select frameless enclosures for reduced hardware and easy maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for clear edges and budget control.
We plan door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to suit tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron panels increase transparency; protective treatments minimize spotting. For aesthetics and privacy, we feature 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 performs, fits, and lasts.
Rapid Restoration Work, Critical Board‑Ups, and Security Standards
When glass is broken, you require a quick, secure response that stabilizes the opening and protects people and property. We arrive outfitted with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and pre-cut panels to protect the location. After securing the zone, we eliminate loose shards, record the situation, and install solid board-ups or temporary glass to restore weatherproofing, safety, and energy efficiency.
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 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 Codes, Permits, and HOA Requirements
As code compliance protects safety and resale value, we start your project by determining the exact approvals your address demands: 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 verify scope, assign responsibilities, and provide permit timelines so you know when work commences and inspections take place. We handle submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design specifications with community standards to minimize delays.
You'll receive transparent Code updates impacting glass placement and opening sizes. Before installation, we execute verification checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. In the course of work, we ensure jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Upon 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 requirements. We specify tempered or laminated safety glazing where code mandates, then optimize U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and crisp views, Low‑iron glass offers true color; for privacy, we supply acid‑etched or switchable alternatives. In wet zones, we specify corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then coordinate Hardware finishes with your fixtures for cohesion and durability.
We document spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to protect warranty integrity. You'll know what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We record warranties, deliver care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, safeguarding your investment and safety in the long run.
