Energy-Saving Window Upgrades and Replacement
While your current windows seem fine, energy‑efficient replacements can decrease heat loss, decrease utility bills, and enhance comfort without compromising safety. You'll achieve 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 evaluate 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 recommend insulated vinyl, thermally broken aluminum, or fiberglass frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to prevent air leakage and condensation. Correct anchoring, shims, and flashing incorporate units with your weather barrier, protecting occupants and structure. We provide clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties consistent with manufacturer specifications.
Tailored Shower Surrounds and Glass Features
While upgrading your home's glass, custom shower enclosures provide precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance tailored to your space. We carefully measure openings, check wall plumb, and designate tempered or laminated safety glass to satisfy building codes and limit flex. You select frameless enclosures for minimal hardware and easy maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for distinct edges and budget control.
We engineer door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to suit tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron panels enhance clarity; protective finishes prevent spotting. For privacy and style, we offer patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mold-resistant silicone, create even reveals, and regulate sweep compression to eliminate leaks. Your enclosure fits, functions, and lasts.
Prompt Fix Services, Urgent Board‑Ups, and Protection Standards
If glass breaks, you need a quick, secure response that secures the breach and protects individuals and property. We show up equipped with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and custom-sized panels to secure the premises. After securing the zone, we eliminate loose shards, document the scene, and install rigid board‑ups or Temporary glazing to restore weather resistance, security, and thermal control.
We provide you with clear timelines: triage within hours, followed by precise measurements for replacement. For Storm damage, we click here 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, 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.
Managing HOA Requirements, Permits, and Codes
Because code compliance safeguards safety and resale value, we start your project by mapping the exact approvals your address requires: 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 standards. We confirm scope, assign responsibilities, and establish permit timelines so you know when work begins and inspections take place. We process submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design specifications with community standards to avoid delays.
You'll get comprehensive Code updates impacting glass placement and opening sizes. Prior to installation, we execute inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. Throughout work, we maintain jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Once we receive approval, we archive permits for your records and future resale.
Choosing 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 objectives. We specify tempered or laminated safety glazing where code mandates, then fine-tune U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and clear 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 align Hardware finishes with your fixtures for lasting durability and visual cohesion.
We document spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to maintain warranty integrity. You will know exactly what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We record warranties, deliver care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, securing your investment and safety long‑term.
