Energy-Saving Window Replacement and Upgrades
Even if your current windows look satisfactory, energy‑efficient replacements can cut heat loss, decrease utility bills, and enhance comfort without jeopardizing 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 sacrificing visible light. We evaluate orientation, local climate, and code requirements to specify glazing that satisfies ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.
The framing around your windows is just as critical as the glass itself. We recommend insulated vinyl, thermally broken aluminum, or fiberglass frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to prevent air leakage and condensation. Correct anchoring, shims, and flashing integrate units with your weather barrier, protecting occupants and structure. You'll receive clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties aligned with manufacturer specifications.
Custom Shower Installations and Glass Accents
While upgrading your home's glass, custom shower enclosures offer precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance designed for your space. We carefully measure openings, confirm wall plumb, and specify tempered or laminated safety glass to comply with regulations and reduce flex. You select frameless enclosures for reduced hardware and easy maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for distinct edges and budget control.
We calculate door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to accommodate tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron glass enhances visual clarity; protective treatments minimize spotting. For style and privacy, we feature patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mildew-resistant silicone, ensure even reveals, and fine-tune sweep compression to eliminate leaks. Your enclosure functions, fits, and endures.
Quick Repair Services, Emergency Board‑Ups, and Protection Standards
When glass shatters, you require a swift, protected response that stabilizes the opening and protects individuals and property. We show up equipped with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and custom-sized panels to secure the site. After isolating the area, we remove loose shards, record the situation, and install rigid board‑ups or Temporary glazing to restore weather protection, security, and climate 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 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, child/pet zones, and alarm sensors. You leave with a stabilized opening and a confirmed follow‑up plan.
Understanding HOA Requirements, Permits, and Codes
As code compliance safeguards safety and resale value, we start your project by determining the exact approvals your address needs: 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 establish scope, assign responsibilities, and provide Permit timelines so you know when work starts and inspections occur. We manage submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design components with community standards to avoid delays.
You'll get comprehensive Code updates related to glass placement and opening dimensions. Prior to installation, we perform inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. In the course of work, we ensure jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Following approval, we store permits for your records and future resale.
Choosing 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 objectives. We select tempered or laminated safety glazing where code mandates, then calibrate 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 options. In wet zones, we specify corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then align Hardware finishes with your fixtures for lasting durability and visual cohesion.
We log spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to maintain warranty integrity. You will know exactly what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We record warranties, provide care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, protecting your investment and safety long‑term.
