Energy-Saving Window Replacement and Upgrades
Even if your current windows seem fine, energy‑efficient replacements can decrease heat loss, lower utility bills, and boost comfort without compromising 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 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 advise insulated vinyl, thermally broken aluminum, or fiberglass frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to eliminate 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 consistent with manufacturer specifications.
Bespoke Shower Surrounds and Glass Elements
As you upgrade your home's glass, custom shower enclosures deliver precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance designed for your space. We take precise measurements of openings, check wall plumb, and select tempered or laminated safety glass to satisfy building codes and limit flex. You pick frameless enclosures for reduced hardware and simple maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for clear edges and budget control.
We design door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to suit tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron panels increase transparency; protective treatments minimize spotting. For aesthetics and privacy, we feature patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mildew-resistant silicone, set even reveals, and fine-tune sweep compression to stop leaks. Your enclosure fits, functions, and lasts.
Prompt Fix Services, Critical Board‑Ups, and Security Standards
When glass breaks, you need a rapid, safe response that reinforces the opening and safeguards occupants and assets. We show up equipped with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and fitted panels to safeguard the area. After cordoning off the area, we remove loose shards, record the situation, and install rigid boarding or temporary glazing to restore weather protection, security, and climate control.
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.
Understanding Permits, Codes, and HOA Requirements
As code compliance ensures safety and resale value, we start your project by mapping 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 standards. We establish scope, assign responsibilities, and establish permit timelines so you know when work commences and inspections occur. We oversee submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design details with community standards to avoid delays.
You'll get comprehensive Code updates related to glass placement and opening dimensions. Ahead of installation, we conduct Inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. In the course of work, we preserve jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Once we receive approval, we archive permits for your records and future resale.
Picking 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 specify tempered or laminated safety glazing where code demands, then fine-tune 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 options. In wet zones, we select corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then coordinate Hardware finishes with your fixtures for lasting durability and visual cohesion.
We log 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 register warranties, offer care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, safeguarding your investment and safety in the long run.
