High-Efficiency Window Replacement and Upgrades
While your current windows look satisfactory, energy‑efficient replacements can reduce heat loss, reduce utility bills, and boost comfort without sacrificing safety. You'll obtain 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 evaluate 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 recommend insulated vinyl, fiberglass, 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, protecting occupants and structure. We provide clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties consistent with manufacturer specifications.
Personalized Shower Surrounds and Glass Features
As you upgrade 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, check wall plumb, and designate tempered or laminated safety glass to meet code and limit flex. You pick frameless enclosures for reduced hardware and easy maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for defined edges and budget control.
We engineer door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to accommodate tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron glass improves clarity; 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, ensure even reveals, and adjust sweep compression to stop leaks. Your enclosure performs, fits, and lasts.
Swift Restoration Work, Critical Board‑Ups, and Safety Standards
When glass breaks, you need a rapid, safe response that reinforces the opening and safeguards occupants and assets. We come prepared with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and custom-sized panels to secure the premises. After isolating the area, we clear loose pieces, record the situation, and install rigid boarding or temporary glazing to restore weather resistance, security, and thermal control.
You get 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 insulated, tempered, or laminated 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.
Understanding HOA Requirements, Permits, and Codes
Since code compliance protects safety and resale value, we initiate your project by mapping the exact approvals your address requires: city permits, energy codes (Washington State Energy Code), safety glazing requirements (tempered/laminated near doors, wet areas, and low sills), egress dimensions, and wind/seismic criteria. We confirm scope, assign responsibilities, and set Permit timelines so you know when work starts and inspections occur. We manage submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design details with community standards to minimize delays.
We deliver detailed Code updates related to glass placement and opening sizes. Before installation, we execute inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. In the course of work, we copyright jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Following approval, we maintain permits for your records and future resale.
Selecting the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Before ordering a single pane, we match glass types and hardware to your property's exposures, safety zones, and performance requirements. We specify tempered or laminated safety glazing where code mandates, then calibrate U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and clear views, Low‑iron glass provides true color; for privacy, we offer acid‑etched or switchable alternatives. In wet zones, we select corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then coordinate Hardware finishes with your fixtures for cohesion and durability.
We document spacer type, gas fill, read more 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 record warranties, deliver care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, protecting your investment and safety long‑term.
