Energy-Saving Window Replacement and Improvement
Even if your current windows seem fine, energy‑efficient replacements can decrease heat loss, decrease utility bills, and enhance comfort without sacrificing safety. You'll gain measurable performance by combining Low‑E upgrades with gas fills and warm‑edge spacers to reduce U‑factor and solar heat gain without losing visible light. We analyze orientation, local climate, and code requirements to specify glazing that satisfies ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.
Window framing enhancements matter as much as glass. We advise insulated vinyl, fiberglass, or thermally broken aluminum frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to eliminate air leakage and condensation. Appropriate anchoring, shims, and flashing connect units with your weather barrier, preserving structure and occupants. You'll get clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties matching manufacturer specifications.
Custom Shower Surrounds and Glass Elements
While upgrading your home's glass, custom shower enclosures provide precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance tailored to your space. We field-measure openings, confirm wall plumb, and specify tempered or laminated safety glass to satisfy building codes and minimize flex. You select frameless enclosures for reduced hardware and effortless maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for defined 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 finishes prevent spotting. For privacy and style, we feature patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mold-inhibiting silicone, create even reveals, and calibrate sweep compression to prevent leaks. Your enclosure fits perfectly, works flawlessly, and endures.
Swift Restoration Work, Emergency Board‑Ups, and Protection Standards
When glass breaks, you need a fast, safe solution that stabilizes the opening and protects individuals and property. We come prepared with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and custom-sized panels to secure the site. After containing the space, we remove loose shards, assess conditions, and install sturdy board-ups or interim 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, 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.
Understanding Codes, Permits, and HOA Requirements
Because code compliance protects safety and resale value, we start your project by identifying the exact approvals your address needs: 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 requirements. We validate scope, assign responsibilities, and provide permit timelines so you know when work begins and inspections take place. We process submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design elements with community standards to prevent delays.
You'll get detailed Code updates concerning glass placement and opening measurements. Prior to installation, we conduct Inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. During work, we copyright jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Once we receive approval, we archive permits for your records and future resale.
Selecting the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Before we order a single pane, we pair glass types and hardware to your home's exposures, safety zones, and performance requirements. We specify tempered or laminated safety glazing where code demands, then calibrate U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and clear views, Low‑iron glass delivers true color; for privacy, we offer acid‑etched or switchable solutions. In wet zones, we specify corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then align Hardware finishes with your fixtures for cohesion and durability.
We log spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to protect warranty integrity. You'll understand what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We file warranties, deliver care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, preserving your investment and safety over the long term.
