High-Efficiency Window Replacement and Upgrades
Even if your current windows seem fine, energy‑efficient replacements can decrease heat loss, reduce 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 lower U‑factor and solar heat gain without sacrificing visible light. We assess orientation, local climate, and code requirements to specify glazing that fulfills ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.
The framing around your windows is just as critical as the glass itself. We suggest insulated vinyl, fiberglass, or thermally broken aluminum frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to prevent air leakage and condensation. Correct anchoring, shims, and flashing integrate units with your weather barrier, protecting both structure and occupants. We provide clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties consistent with manufacturer specifications.
Tailored Shower Enclosures and Glass Components
While you're upgrading your home's glass, custom shower enclosures deliver precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance tailored to your space. We take precise measurements of openings, confirm wall plumb, and specify tempered or laminated safety glass to satisfy building codes and reduce flex. You pick frameless enclosures for less hardware and effortless maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for distinct edges and budget control.
We design door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to suit tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron glass enhances visual clarity; protective coatings limit water spots. For privacy and style, we include patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mildew-resistant silicone, establish even reveals, and fine-tune sweep compression to prevent leaks. Your enclosure performs, fits, and lasts.
Rapid Restoration Work, Emergency Board‑Ups, and Protection Standards
When glass shatters, you require a rapid, safe response that secures the breach and protects individuals and property. We arrive equipped with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and fitted panels to secure the site. After securing the zone, we extract loose fragments, assess conditions, and install solid board-ups or temporary glass 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 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, pet/child zones, and alarm sensors. You leave with a stabilized opening and a confirmed follow‑up plan.
Managing Permits, Building Codes, and HOA Regulations
As code compliance ensures safety and resale value, we commence your project by outlining the exact approvals your address demands: city permits, energy codes (WA State Energy Code), safety glazing regulations more info (tempered/laminated near doors, wet areas, and low sills), egress dimensions, and wind/seismic criteria. We establish scope, assign responsibilities, and publish permit timelines so you know when work commences and inspections take place. We oversee submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design specifications with community standards to prevent delays.
We deliver clear Code updates concerning glass placement and opening dimensions. Ahead of installation, we perform Inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. While performing work, we copyright 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 align glass types and hardware to your home's exposures, safety zones, and performance goals. We specify tempered or laminated safety glazing where code requires, then fine-tune U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and crisp views, Low‑iron glass delivers true color; for privacy, we provide acid‑etched or switchable options. In wet zones, we select corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then align Hardware finishes with your fixtures for lasting durability and visual cohesion.
We catalog 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 register warranties, provide care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, safeguarding your investment and safety over the long term.
