High-Efficiency Window Replacement and Improvement
While your current windows look satisfactory, energy‑efficient replacements can cut heat loss, reduce utility bills, and boost comfort without compromising safety. You'll gain measurable performance by combining Low‑E upgrades with gas fills and warm‑edge spacers to minimize U‑factor and solar heat gain without compromising visible light. We evaluate orientation, local climate, and code requirements to specify glazing that meets ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.
The framing around your windows is just as critical as the glass itself. We recommend insulated vinyl, thermally broken aluminum, or fiberglass frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to eliminate air leakage and condensation. Correct anchoring, shims, and flashing incorporate units with your weather barrier, preserving both structure and occupants. You'll receive clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties aligned with manufacturer specifications.
Bespoke Shower Systems and Glass Accents
As you upgrade your home's glass, custom shower enclosures offer precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance tailored to your space. We carefully measure openings, confirm wall plumb, and specify tempered or laminated safety glass to meet code and limit flex. You select frameless enclosures for reduced hardware and easy maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for clear edges and budget control.
We engineer door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to fit tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron panels increase transparency; protective treatments minimize spotting. For privacy and style, we provide patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with anti-mold silicone, set even reveals, and regulate sweep compression to eliminate leaks. Your enclosure fits perfectly, works flawlessly, and endures.
Prompt Restoration Work, Critical Board‑Ups, and Protection Standards
When glass breaks, you need a swift, protected response that reinforces the opening and protects people and property. We show up equipped with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and pre-cut panels to protect the location. After cordoning off the area, we clear loose pieces, document conditions, and install rigid boarding 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 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, 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.
Dealing with Building Permits, Codes, and HOA Rules
As code compliance protects safety and resale value, we initiate your project by outlining the exact approvals your address needs: city permits, energy codes (WA State Energy Code), safety glazing rules (tempered/laminated near doors, wet areas, and low sills), egress dimensions, and click here wind/seismic criteria. We establish scope, assign responsibilities, and set Permit timelines so you know when work commences and inspections occur. We handle submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design elements with community standards to minimize delays.
We provide detailed Code updates related to glass placement and opening dimensions. Before installation, we run inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. Throughout work, we preserve jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Following approval, we archive permits for your records and future resale.
Picking the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Prior to ordering any single pane, we match glass types and hardware to your property's exposures, safety zones, and performance goals. We select 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 offers true color; for privacy, we offer acid‑etched or switchable alternatives. In wet zones, we choose corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then coordinate Hardware finishes with your fixtures for durability and cohesion.
We catalog spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to protect warranty integrity. You'll know what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We register warranties, supply care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, protecting your investment and safety long‑term.
