Energy-Efficient Window Replacement and Upgrades
Even if your current windows look satisfactory, energy‑efficient replacements can reduce heat loss, decrease utility bills, and boost comfort without jeopardizing safety. You'll achieve measurable performance by combining Low‑E upgrades with gas fills and warm‑edge spacers to reduce U‑factor and solar heat gain without sacrificing visible light. We evaluate orientation, local climate, and code requirements to specify glazing that satisfies ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.
The framing around your windows is just as critical as the glass itself. We advise insulated vinyl, thermally broken aluminum, or fiberglass 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 both structure and occupants. We provide clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties consistent with manufacturer specifications.
Custom Shower Surrounds and Glass Accents
When you're enhancing your home's glass, custom shower enclosures deliver precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance designed for your space. We carefully measure openings, verify wall plumb, and designate tempered or laminated safety glass to meet code and limit flex. You select frameless enclosures for less hardware and easy maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for distinct edges and budget control.
We engineer door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to accommodate tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron glass improves clarity; protective coatings limit water spots. For style and privacy, we provide 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 prevent leaks. Your enclosure functions, fits, and endures.
Swift Fix Services, Immediate Board‑Ups, and Protection Standards
When glass is broken, you require a quick, secure response that stabilizes the gap and safeguards occupants and assets. We arrive outfitted with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and pre-cut panels to safeguard the area. After containing the space, we extract loose fragments, document conditions, and install sturdy board-ups or interim glazing 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, child/pet zones, and alarm sensors. You leave with a stabilized opening and a confirmed follow‑up plan.
Dealing with Permits, Codes, and HOA Requirements
Since code compliance safeguards safety and resale value, we begin your project by mapping the exact approvals your address requires: city permits, energy codes (WA 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 establish permit timelines so you know when work begins and inspections happen. We handle submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design components with community standards to minimize delays.
You'll receive transparent Code updates impacting glass placement and opening dimensions. Before installation, we conduct Inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. Throughout work, we preserve jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. After approval, we file permits for your records and future resale.
Choosing the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Prior to ordering any single pane, we pair glass types and hardware to your home's exposures, safety zones, and performance objectives. We specify tempered or laminated safety glazing where code mandates, then fine-tune 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 alternatives. In wet zones, we specify corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then match Hardware finishes with your fixtures for cohesion and here durability.
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 register warranties, deliver care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, securing your investment and safety in the long run.
