Energy-Efficient Window Replacement and Improvement
While your current windows look satisfactory, energy‑efficient replacements can decrease heat loss, lower 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 compromising visible light. We assess 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 suggest insulated fiberglass, vinyl, or thermally broken aluminum 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, safeguarding occupants and structure. You'll receive clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties matching manufacturer specifications.
Bespoke Shower Installations and Glass Accents
While you're upgrading your home's glass, custom shower enclosures deliver precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance read more customized for your space. We field-measure openings, check wall plumb, and designate tempered or laminated safety glass to satisfy building codes and limit flex. You choose frameless enclosures for minimal hardware and easy 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 panels increase transparency; protective treatments minimize spotting. For visual appeal and privacy, we offer patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mildew-resistant silicone, establish even reveals, and adjust sweep compression to stop leaks. Your enclosure fits perfectly, works flawlessly, and endures.
Swift Repair Services, Critical Board‑Ups, and Security Standards
When glass breaks, you need a fast, safe solution that stabilizes the gap and shields people and belongings. We arrive equipped with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and fitted panels to secure the premises. After containing the space, we remove loose shards, document conditions, and install rigid board‑ups or Temporary glazing to restore weatherproofing, safety, and energy efficiency.
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 insulated, tempered, or laminated 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.
Understanding Codes, Permits, and HOA Requirements
Since code compliance safeguards safety and resale value, we begin your project by identifying 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 confirm scope, assign responsibilities, and provide Permit timelines so you know when work begins and inspections happen. We handle submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design details with community standards to prevent delays.
We provide detailed Code updates concerning glass placement and opening sizes. Before installation, we run inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. During work, we maintain jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Once we receive approval, we archive permits for your records and future resale.
Picking the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Before we order 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 demands, then calibrate U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and sharp views, Low‑iron glass provides true color; for privacy, we provide acid‑etched or switchable options. In wet zones, we specify corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then align Hardware finishes with your fixtures for durability and cohesion.
We record spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to guarantee warranty integrity. You'll know what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We file warranties, offer care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, preserving your investment and safety long‑term.
