High-Efficiency Window Replacement and Upgrades
While your current windows appear adequate, energy‑efficient replacements can reduce heat loss, decrease utility bills, and boost comfort without sacrificing safety. You'll gain 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.
The framing around your windows is just as critical as the glass itself. We advise insulated fiberglass, vinyl, 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 structure and occupants. You'll get clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties consistent with manufacturer specifications.
Bespoke Shower Systems and Glass Features
As you upgrade your home's glass, custom shower enclosures provide precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance designed for your space. We take precise measurements of openings, verify wall plumb, and select tempered or laminated safety glass to satisfy building codes and minimize flex. You pick frameless enclosures for minimal hardware and simple maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for clear edges and budget control.
We calculate door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to fit tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron panels enhance clarity; protective coatings limit water spots. For visual appeal and privacy, we include patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mold-resistant silicone, ensure even reveals, and fine-tune sweep compression to avoid water leakage. Your enclosure functions, fits, and endures.
Prompt Repair Services, Critical Board‑Ups, and Security Standards
When glass breaks, you need a swift, protected response that stabilizes the opening and protects individuals and property. We arrive equipped with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and fitted panels to secure the site. After securing the zone, we remove loose shards, document conditions, and install rigid boarding or temporary glazing to restore weather protection, security, and climate control.
You get clear timelines: triage within hours, followed by precise read more measurements for replacement. For storm damage, we 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.
Navigating HOA Requirements, Permits, and Codes
As code compliance ensures 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 standards (tempered/laminated near doors, wet areas, and low sills), egress dimensions, and wind/seismic requirements. We verify scope, assign responsibilities, and publish permit timelines so you know when work begins and inspections happen. We handle submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design specifications with community standards to avoid delays.
We deliver comprehensive Code updates concerning glass placement and opening dimensions. Prior to installation, we perform Inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. During work, we copyright jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. After approval, we maintain permits for your records and future resale.
Picking the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Before we order a single pane, we align glass types and hardware to your property's exposures, safety zones, and performance objectives. We select tempered or laminated safety glazing where code requires, then optimize U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and clear views, Low‑iron glass offers 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 catalog spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to maintain warranty integrity. You'll know what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We file warranties, deliver care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, protecting your investment and safety for the long haul.
