High-Efficiency Window Replacement and Upgrades
While your current windows seem fine, energy‑efficient replacements can reduce heat loss, decrease utility bills, and boost comfort without sacrificing 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 compromising visible light. We assess orientation, local climate, and code requirements to specify glazing that meets ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.
Glass is only part of the equation—window framing enhancements are equally important. We suggest insulated vinyl, fiberglass, or thermally broken aluminum frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to stop air leakage and condensation. Appropriate anchoring, shims, and flashing incorporate units with your weather barrier, preserving both structure and occupants. We provide clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties consistent with manufacturer specifications.
Bespoke Shower Installations and Glass Components
While upgrading your home's glass, custom shower enclosures offer precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance customized for your space. We field-measure openings, check wall plumb, and designate tempered or laminated safety glass to comply with regulations and minimize flex. You pick frameless enclosures for less hardware and easy maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for distinct edges and budget control.
We design door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to match tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron glass enhances visual clarity; protective coatings reduce spotting. For privacy and style, we include patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with anti-mold silicone, establish even reveals, and regulate sweep compression to eliminate leaks. Your enclosure functions, fits, and endures.
Swift Repair Services, Urgent Board‑Ups, and Security Standards
When glass is broken, you require a fast, safe solution that secures the breach and safeguards occupants and assets. We arrive equipped with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and measured panels to secure the site. After cordoning off the area, we remove loose shards, record the situation, and install rigid boarding 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, 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.
Handling Building Permits, Codes, and HOA Rules
Since code compliance protects safety and resale value, we begin your project by determining the exact approvals your address needs: city permits, energy codes (Washington State Energy Code), safety glazing regulations (tempered/laminated near doors, wet areas, and low sills), egress dimensions, and wind/seismic standards. We confirm scope, assign responsibilities, and set permit timelines so you know when work begins and inspections happen. We process submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design elements with community standards to prevent delays.
You'll receive comprehensive Code updates affecting glass placement and opening measurements. Ahead of installation, we conduct Inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. During work, we maintain jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Once we receive approval, we store 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 goals. We designate tempered or laminated safety glazing where code requires, then calibrate 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 alternatives. In wet zones, we specify corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then align Hardware finishes with your fixtures for durability and cohesion.
We log spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to guarantee warranty integrity. You'll be informed about what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We record warranties, offer care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, preserving your investment and safety in the long run.
