Energy-Saving Window Replacement and Improvement
While your current windows look satisfactory, energy‑efficient replacements can cut heat loss, decrease utility bills, and boost comfort without jeopardizing 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 assess 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 suggest insulated vinyl, fiberglass, or thermally broken aluminum frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to stop air leakage and condensation. Proper anchoring, shims, and flashing integrate units with your weather barrier, safeguarding structure and occupants. You'll receive clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties matching manufacturer specifications.
Personalized Shower Enclosures and Glass Components
While upgrading your home's glass, custom shower enclosures offer precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance designed for your space. We take precise measurements of openings, confirm wall plumb, and specify tempered or laminated safety glass to comply with regulations and minimize flex. You choose frameless enclosures for minimal hardware and simple maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for distinct edges and budget control.
We engineer door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to fit tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron glass improves clarity; protective coatings limit water spots. For visual appeal and privacy, we provide patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mildew-resistant silicone, create even reveals, and calibrate sweep compression to eliminate leaks. Your enclosure functions, fits, and endures.
Quick Restoration Work, Immediate Board‑Ups, and Safety Standards
When glass shatters, you require a fast, safe solution that reinforces the opening and safeguards occupants and assets. We arrive equipped with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and custom-sized panels to safeguard the area. After cordoning off the area, we extract loose fragments, assess conditions, and install sturdy board-ups or interim glazing to restore weatherproofing, safety, and energy efficiency.
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 insulated, tempered, or laminated glass matched to performance specs. We anchor boards to structural members only, maintain 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 Permits, Codes, and HOA Requirements
Because code compliance safeguards safety and resale value, we initiate your project by identifying the exact approvals your address demands: 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 criteria. We verify scope, assign responsibilities, and provide Permit timelines so you know when work starts and inspections happen. We manage submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design components with community standards to eliminate delays.
You'll receive detailed Code updates related to glass placement and opening dimensions. Prior to installation, we run verification checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. In the course of work, we copyright jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. After approval, we maintain permits for your records and future resale.
Selecting the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Before ordering a single pane, we pair glass types and hardware to your property's exposures, safety zones, and performance goals. We designate 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 supply acid‑etched or switchable solutions. 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 ensure warranty integrity. You will know exactly what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We record warranties, supply care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, protecting your investment and safety in the long run.
