High-Efficiency Window Upgrades and Replacement
Even if your current windows appear adequate, energy‑efficient replacements can cut heat loss, reduce utility bills, and enhance comfort without compromising 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 losing visible light. We evaluate orientation, local climate, and code requirements to specify glazing that meets ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.
Glass is only part of the equation—window framing enhancements are equally important. We suggest insulated vinyl, fiberglass, or thermally broken aluminum frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to stop air leakage and condensation. Appropriate anchoring, shims, and flashing connect units with your weather barrier, preserving both structure and occupants. We provide clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties consistent with manufacturer specifications.
Custom Shower Surrounds and Glass Elements
As you upgrade your home's glass, custom shower enclosures offer precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance tailored to your space. We carefully measure openings, verify wall plumb, and specify tempered or laminated safety glass to meet code and reduce flex. You choose frameless enclosures for reduced hardware and simple maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for clear edges and budget control.
We calculate 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 privacy and style, we feature patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mold-inhibiting silicone, ensure even reveals, and calibrate sweep compression to avoid water leakage. Your enclosure performs, fits, and lasts.
Fast Restoration Work, Urgent Board‑Ups, and Protection Standards
When glass shatters, you require a quick, secure response that reinforces the opening and shields people and belongings. We show up equipped with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and pre-cut panels to secure the premises. After cordoning off the area, we clear loose pieces, document conditions, website and install solid board-ups or temporary glass 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 tempered, laminated, 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 HOA Requirements, Permits, and Codes
As code compliance ensures safety and resale value, we start your project by outlining the exact approvals your address requires: city permits, energy codes (WA State Energy Code), safety glazing standards (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 manage submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design details with community standards to avoid delays.
You'll receive clear Code updates affecting glass placement and opening dimensions. Prior to installation, we perform Inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. In the course of work, we copyright jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. After approval, we archive permits for your records and future resale.
Picking the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Before ordering a single pane, we pair glass types and hardware to your property's exposures, safety zones, and performance objectives. We specify tempered or laminated safety glazing where code requires, then fine-tune U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and clear 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 coordinate Hardware finishes with your fixtures for durability and cohesion.
We document spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to ensure warranty integrity. You'll understand what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We file warranties, supply care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, protecting your investment and safety over the long term.
