High-Efficiency Window Replacement and Upgrades
While your current windows seem fine, energy‑efficient replacements can cut heat loss, reduce utility bills, and improve comfort without sacrificing 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 sacrificing visible light. We assess 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, fiberglass, or thermally broken aluminum frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to stop air leakage and condensation. Correct anchoring, shims, and flashing connect units with your weather barrier, protecting structure and occupants. We provide clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties matching manufacturer specifications.
Personalized Shower Systems and Glass Features
While upgrading your home's glass, custom shower enclosures deliver precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance tailored to your space. We carefully measure openings, check wall plumb, and select tempered or laminated safety glass to satisfy building codes and limit flex. You choose frameless enclosures for less hardware and simple 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 panels enhance clarity; protective coatings reduce spotting. For aesthetics and privacy, we provide patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mildew-resistant silicone, establish even reveals, and adjust sweep compression to avoid water leakage. Your enclosure performs, fits, and lasts.
Prompt Repairs, Immediate Board‑Ups, and Protection Standards
When glass is broken, you require a rapid, safe response that stabilizes the gap and safeguards occupants and assets. We arrive equipped with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and pre-cut 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, security, and energy control.
We provide you with 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
Because code compliance protects safety and resale value, we initiate your project by mapping the exact approvals your address needs: city permits, energy codes (Washington State Energy Code), safety glazing standards (tempered/laminated near doors, wet areas, and low sills), egress dimensions, and wind/seismic requirements. We establish scope, assign responsibilities, and establish Permit timelines so you know when work begins and inspections take place. We process submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design elements with community standards to eliminate delays.
You'll receive transparent Code updates impacting glass placement and opening sizes. Prior to installation, we execute verification checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. During work, we copyright jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Once we receive approval, we file permits for your records and future resale.
Choosing the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Prior to ordering any single pane, we pair glass types and hardware to your residence's exposures, safety zones, and performance requirements. We select 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 delivers true color; for privacy, we supply acid‑etched or switchable options. In wet zones, we select corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then align Hardware finishes with your fixtures for lasting durability and visual cohesion.
We catalog spacer type, gas fill, 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 file warranties, supply care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, securing your investment and safety long‑term.
