Energy-Saving Window Replacement and Improvement
While your current windows seem fine, energy‑efficient replacements can cut heat loss, reduce utility bills, and improve comfort without jeopardizing safety. You'll achieve measurable performance by combining website Low‑E upgrades with gas fills and warm‑edge spacers to reduce U‑factor and solar heat gain without losing visible light. We evaluate orientation, local climate, and code requirements to specify glazing that meets ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.
Window framing enhancements matter as much as glass. We recommend insulated fiberglass, vinyl, or thermally broken aluminum frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to prevent air leakage and condensation. Appropriate anchoring, shims, and flashing connect units with your weather barrier, safeguarding structure and occupants. You'll get clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties aligned with manufacturer specifications.
Custom Shower Enclosures and Glass Elements
When you're enhancing your home's glass, custom shower enclosures offer precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance designed for your space. We field-measure openings, confirm wall plumb, and specify tempered or laminated safety glass to comply with regulations and limit flex. You choose frameless enclosures for minimal hardware and easy maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for clear edges and budget control.
We calculate door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to suit tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron panels increase transparency; protective coatings reduce 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 regulate sweep compression to stop leaks. Your enclosure performs, fits, and lasts.
Fast Fix Services, Emergency Board‑Ups, and Safety Standards
If glass breaks, you need a fast, safe solution that secures the breach and safeguards occupants and assets. We arrive outfitted with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and fitted panels to secure the premises. After securing the zone, we remove loose shards, assess conditions, and install rigid board‑ups or Temporary glazing to restore weather resistance, security, and thermal 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, pet/child zones, and alarm sensors. You leave with a stabilized opening and a confirmed follow‑up plan.
Handling Building Permits, Codes, and HOA Rules
Because code compliance protects safety and resale value, we commence your project by mapping the exact approvals your address demands: 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 requirements. We confirm scope, assign responsibilities, and publish Permit timelines so you know when work commences and inspections take place. We process submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design components with community standards to minimize delays.
You'll receive detailed Code updates affecting glass placement and opening measurements. Before installation, we run Inspection 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 maintain permits for your records and future resale.
Choosing the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Prior to ordering any single pane, we match glass types and hardware to your residence's exposures, safety zones, and performance objectives. We designate 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 provides true color; for privacy, we supply acid‑etched or switchable solutions. In wet zones, we choose corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then coordinate Hardware finishes with your fixtures for durability and cohesion.
We log 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, safeguarding your investment and safety for the long haul.
