High-Efficiency Window Replacement and Upgrades
While your current windows seem fine, energy‑efficient replacements can cut heat loss, reduce utility bills, and improve comfort without sacrificing 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 losing visible light. We analyze 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 stop air leakage and condensation. Proper anchoring, shims, and flashing connect units with your weather barrier, safeguarding both structure and occupants. You'll get clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties aligned with manufacturer specifications.
Personalized Shower Surrounds and Glass Elements
While upgrading your home's glass, custom shower enclosures deliver precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance customized for your space. We take precise measurements of openings, check wall plumb, and designate tempered or laminated safety glass to satisfy building codes and reduce flex. You choose frameless enclosures for less hardware and simple maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for defined edges and budget control.
We engineer door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to match tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron glass enhances visual clarity; protective coatings limit water spots. For privacy and style, we offer patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mildew-resistant silicone, establish even reveals, and regulate sweep compression to avoid water leakage. Your enclosure performs, fits, and lasts.
Fast Fix Services, Critical Board‑Ups, and Security Standards
When glass breaks, you need a fast, safe solution that stabilizes the opening and protects individuals and property. We show up equipped with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and measured panels to secure the premises. After isolating the area, we clear loose pieces, record the situation, and install sturdy board-ups or interim glazing to restore weather protection, security, and climate control.
You get 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, protect 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.
Handling Permits, Codes, and HOA Requirements
As code compliance protects safety and resale value, we commence your project by determining the exact approvals your address needs: city permits, energy codes (Washington State Energy Code), safety glazing rules (tempered/laminated near doors, wet areas, and low sills), egress dimensions, and wind/seismic criteria. We confirm scope, assign responsibilities, and set Permit timelines so click here you know when work begins and inspections occur. We handle submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design elements with community standards to eliminate delays.
We deliver clear Code updates affecting glass placement and opening sizes. Prior to installation, we execute verification checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. In the course of 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
Before we order a single pane, we align glass types and hardware to your residence's exposures, safety zones, and performance objectives. We select tempered or laminated safety glazing where code demands, then optimize U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and sharp views, Low‑iron glass delivers true color; for privacy, we provide acid‑etched or switchable alternatives. In wet zones, we choose corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then coordinate Hardware finishes with your fixtures for cohesion and durability.
We catalog spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to guarantee warranty integrity. You'll understand what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We record warranties, offer care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, safeguarding your investment and safety for the long haul.
