Energy-Efficient Window Upgrades and Replacement
Even though your current windows seem fine, energy‑efficient replacements can cut heat loss, lower 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 lower U‑factor and solar heat gain without sacrificing visible light. We evaluate orientation, local climate, and code requirements to specify glazing that fulfills ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.
The framing around your windows is just as critical as the glass itself. We suggest insulated vinyl, fiberglass, or thermally broken aluminum frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to stop air leakage and condensation. Proper anchoring, shims, and flashing incorporate units with your weather barrier, preserving structure and occupants. You'll get clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties matching manufacturer specifications.
Custom Shower Systems and Glass Components
When you're enhancing your home's glass, custom shower enclosures offer precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance customized for your space. We field-measure openings, verify wall plumb, and designate tempered or laminated safety glass to meet code and reduce flex. You select frameless enclosures for less hardware and effortless maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for distinct edges and budget control.
We plan door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to suit tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron glass enhances visual clarity; protective coatings limit water spots. For aesthetics 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 adjust sweep compression to stop leaks. Your enclosure performs, fits, and lasts.
Rapid Fix Services, Immediate Board‑Ups, and Security Standards
If glass breaks, you need a rapid, safe response that reinforces the opening and protects individuals and property. We come prepared with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and custom-sized panels to secure the premises. After securing the zone, we clear loose pieces, document the scene, and install sturdy board-ups or interim glazing to restore weather resistance, security, and thermal 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, preserve 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, Building Codes, and HOA Regulations
Since code compliance safeguards safety and resale value, we start your project by identifying the exact approvals your address requires: city permits, energy codes (Washington State Energy Code), safety glazing rules (tempered/laminated near doors, wet areas, and low sills), egress dimensions, and wind/seismic requirements. We validate scope, assign responsibilities, and publish Permit timelines so you know when work commences and inspections happen. We handle submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design components with community standards to prevent delays.
We provide transparent Code updates affecting glass placement and opening dimensions. Before installation, we run verification checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. In the course of work, we preserve jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. After approval, we store permits for your records and future resale.
Picking the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Prior to ordering any single pane, we align glass types and hardware to your property's exposures, safety zones, and performance requirements. We select tempered or laminated safety glazing where code requires, then fine-tune U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and clear views, Low‑iron glass provides true color; for privacy, we offer acid‑etched or switchable alternatives. In wet zones, we select corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then coordinate Hardware here finishes with your fixtures for durability and cohesion.
We log spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to protect warranty integrity. You'll understand what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We file warranties, provide care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, preserving your investment and safety for the long haul.
