High-Efficiency Window Upgrades and Replacement
While your current windows appear adequate, energy‑efficient replacements can decrease heat loss, lower utility bills, and boost comfort without compromising safety. You'll achieve measurable performance by combining Low‑E upgrades with gas fills and warm‑edge spacers to minimize U‑factor and solar heat gain without sacrificing 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 recommend insulated vinyl, thermally broken aluminum, or fiberglass frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to eliminate air leakage and condensation. Correct anchoring, shims, and flashing integrate units with your weather barrier, protecting both structure and occupants. You'll receive clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties aligned with manufacturer specifications.
Bespoke Shower Enclosures and Glass Components
When you're enhancing your home's glass, custom shower enclosures offer precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance customized for your space. We field-measure openings, check wall plumb, and designate tempered or laminated safety glass to comply with regulations and minimize 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 fit tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron panels increase transparency; protective coatings limit water spots. For style and privacy, we offer patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mold-inhibiting silicone, create even reveals, and fine-tune sweep compression to eliminate leaks. Your enclosure performs, fits, and lasts.
Prompt Repairs, Immediate Board‑Ups, and Safety Standards
When glass breaks, you need a quick, secure response that secures the breach and safeguards occupants and assets. We show up equipped with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and custom-sized panels to secure the premises. After containing the space, we remove loose shards, record the situation, and install rigid boarding or temporary 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 Permits, Building Codes, and HOA Regulations
Because code compliance protects safety and resale value, we commence your project by determining the exact approvals your address demands: 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 standards. We verify scope, assign responsibilities, and provide permit timelines so you know when work starts and inspections occur. We handle submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design specifications with community standards to minimize delays.
You'll get comprehensive Code updates affecting glass placement and opening measurements. Before installation, we conduct verification checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. In the course of work, we maintain jobsite compliance here and schedule inspections. After approval, we archive permits for your records and future resale.
Selecting 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 requirements. We designate tempered or laminated safety glazing where code requires, then calibrate U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and sharp views, Low‑iron glass delivers true color; for privacy, we supply acid‑etched or switchable alternatives. In wet zones, we select corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then coordinate Hardware finishes with your fixtures for lasting durability and visual cohesion.
We record spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to ensure warranty integrity. You'll be informed about what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We file warranties, offer care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, protecting your investment and safety for the long haul.
