Energy-Saving Window Replacement and Upgrades
Even though your current windows look satisfactory, energy‑efficient replacements can reduce heat loss, reduce utility bills, and enhance comfort without jeopardizing safety. You'll obtain measurable performance by combining Low‑E upgrades with gas fills and warm‑edge spacers to lower U‑factor and solar heat gain without losing 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 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, preserving structure and occupants. You'll receive clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties aligned with manufacturer specifications.
Tailored Shower Installations and Glass Features
While you're upgrading your home's glass, custom shower enclosures provide precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance customized for your space. We carefully measure openings, confirm wall plumb, and designate tempered or laminated safety glass to satisfy building codes and minimize flex. You select frameless enclosures for reduced 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 suit tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron panels enhance 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 mold-inhibiting silicone, set even reveals, and regulate sweep compression to stop leaks. Your enclosure fits, functions, and lasts.
Rapid Restoration Work, Urgent Board‑Ups, and Security Standards
If glass breaks, you need a swift, protected response that stabilizes the gap and protects individuals and property. 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 eliminate loose shards, document the scene, and install solid board-ups or temporary glass to restore weather resistance, security, and thermal 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, 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.
Handling Permits, Codes, and HOA Requirements
Since code compliance safeguards safety and resale value, we start your project by outlining the exact approvals your address requires: city permits, energy codes (Washington State Energy Code), safety glazing regulations (tempered/laminated near doors, wet areas, and low sills), egress dimensions, and wind/seismic criteria. We establish scope, assign responsibilities, and establish permit timelines so you know when work begins and inspections take place. We oversee submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design elements with community standards to avoid delays.
You'll receive clear Code updates related to glass placement and opening dimensions. Before installation, we run Inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. In the course of work, we maintain jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Following approval, we maintain permits for your records and future resale.
Picking the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Before we order a single pane, we pair glass types and hardware to your property's exposures, safety zones, and performance requirements. We select 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 provides true color; for privacy, we provide 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 maintain warranty integrity. You will know exactly what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We document warranties, supply care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, safeguarding your investment and safety for the long haul.
