High-Efficiency Window Replacement and Upgrades
Even though your current windows seem fine, energy‑efficient replacements can cut heat loss, lower utility bills, and boost 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 sacrificing visible light. We assess orientation, local climate, and code requirements to specify glazing that fulfills ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.
Window framing enhancements matter as much as glass. We recommend insulated vinyl, thermally broken aluminum, or fiberglass 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.
Tailored Shower Installations and Glass Accents
As you upgrade 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 designate tempered or laminated safety glass to satisfy building codes and minimize flex. You pick frameless enclosures for minimal 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 fit tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron panels increase transparency; protective treatments minimize spotting. For privacy and style, we feature patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mildew-resistant silicone, set even reveals, and regulate sweep compression to prevent leaks. Your enclosure performs, fits, and lasts.
Fast Repair Services, Immediate Board‑Ups, and Safety Standards
If glass breaks, you need a swift, protected response that stabilizes the opening and protects individuals and property. We come prepared with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and measured panels to protect the location. After cordoning off the area, we eliminate loose shards, document the scene, and install sturdy board-ups or interim glazing to restore weatherproofing, safety, and energy efficiency.
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 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.
Dealing with Building Permits, Codes, and HOA Rules
Since code compliance protects safety and resale value, we begin your project by identifying the exact approvals your address requires: 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 criteria. We validate scope, assign responsibilities, and establish Permit timelines so you know when work commences and inspections take place. We oversee submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design specifications with community standards to eliminate delays.
You'll receive comprehensive Code updates impacting glass placement and opening sizes. Before installation, we perform Inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. While performing work, we copyright 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 align glass types and hardware to your residence's exposures, safety zones, and performance objectives. We select tempered or laminated safety glazing where code requires, then calibrate U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and sharp views, Low‑iron glass provides true color; for privacy, we offer acid‑etched or switchable solutions. In wet zones, we specify corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then coordinate Hardware finishes with your fixtures for cohesion and durability.
We record 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 register warranties, deliver care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, preserving your investment and safety over the long term.
