Energy-Saving Window Replacement and Upgrades
While your current windows seem fine, energy‑efficient replacements can decrease heat loss, decrease utility bills, and boost comfort without compromising 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 assess orientation, local climate, and code requirements to specify glazing that meets ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.
The framing around your windows is just as critical as the glass itself. We suggest insulated vinyl, thermally broken aluminum, or fiberglass frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to prevent 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 consistent with manufacturer specifications.
Custom Shower Surrounds and Glass Components
While you're upgrading your home's glass, custom shower enclosures provide precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance tailored to your space. We field-measure openings, confirm wall plumb, and specify tempered or laminated safety glass to comply with regulations and reduce flex. You choose frameless enclosures for reduced 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 match tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron panels enhance clarity; protective coatings reduce spotting. For privacy and style, we provide patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mold-resistant silicone, create even reveals, and adjust sweep compression to eliminate leaks. Your enclosure performs, fits, and lasts.
Swift Restoration Work, Immediate Board‑Ups, and Protection Standards
When glass is broken, you require a quick, secure response that stabilizes the gap and shields people and belongings. We arrive outfitted with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and measured panels to safeguard the area. After securing the zone, we extract loose fragments, document conditions, 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 laminated, tempered, or insulated glass matched to performance specs. We anchor boards to structural members only, maintain 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.
Managing Building Permits, Codes, and HOA Rules
As code compliance ensures safety and resale value, we start your project by determining the exact approvals your address requires: 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 criteria. We verify scope, assign responsibilities, and publish Permit timelines so you know when work begins and inspections occur. We handle submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design details with community standards to avoid delays.
You'll get transparent Code updates concerning glass placement and opening measurements. Ahead of installation, we conduct verification checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. During work, we ensure jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Following approval, we maintain permits for your records and future resale.
Choosing the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Before we order a single pane, we match glass types and hardware to your home's exposures, safety zones, and performance objectives. We specify tempered or laminated safety glazing where code demands, then optimize U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and crisp views, Low‑iron glass offers true color; for privacy, we offer acid‑etched or switchable solutions. In wet zones, we specify corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then match Hardware finishes with your fixtures for durability and cohesion.
We catalog spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to guarantee warranty integrity. You'll be informed about what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We register warranties, supply care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, securing your investment and safety for the long haul.
