High-Efficiency Window Replacement and Improvement
Even though your current windows appear adequate, energy‑efficient replacements can reduce heat loss, lower utility bills, and improve comfort without sacrificing safety. You'll obtain 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 assess 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 vinyl, fiberglass, or thermally broken aluminum frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to eliminate air leakage and condensation. Appropriate anchoring, shims, and flashing incorporate units with your weather barrier, protecting occupants and structure. You'll get clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties matching manufacturer specifications.
Tailored Shower Surrounds and Glass Accents
While you're upgrading 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, verify wall plumb, and specify tempered or laminated safety glass to comply with regulations and minimize flex. You select frameless enclosures for minimal hardware and easy maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for distinct edges and budget control.
We plan door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to suit tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron glass enhances visual clarity; protective finishes prevent spotting. For visual appeal and privacy, we include patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mildew-resistant silicone, set even reveals, and adjust sweep compression to stop leaks. Your enclosure performs, fits, and lasts.
Prompt Restoration Work, Emergency Board‑Ups, and Protection Standards
If glass breaks, you need a swift, protected response that reinforces the opening and protects individuals and property. We come prepared with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and fitted panels to secure the premises. After isolating the area, we remove loose shards, document the scene, and install rigid board‑ups 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, check here maintain 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.
Navigating Permits, Building Codes, and HOA Regulations
Because code compliance protects safety and resale value, we start your project by outlining the exact approvals your address requires: city permits, energy codes (WA State Energy Code), safety glazing requirements (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 oversee submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design details with community standards to prevent delays.
You'll receive detailed Code updates affecting glass placement and opening sizes. Before installation, we run verification checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. Throughout work, we maintain jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Upon approval, we file permits for your records and future resale.
Picking the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Before we order a single pane, we match glass types and hardware to your home's exposures, safety zones, and performance requirements. We specify tempered or laminated safety glazing where code requires, then fine-tune U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and clear views, Low‑iron glass offers true color; for privacy, we provide acid‑etched or switchable alternatives. In wet zones, we specify corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then coordinate Hardware finishes with your fixtures for lasting durability and visual cohesion.
We record 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 document warranties, offer care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, safeguarding your investment and safety for the long haul.
