Energy-Saving Window Replacement and Improvement
While your current windows seem fine, energy‑efficient replacements can decrease heat loss, reduce utility bills, and improve comfort without compromising safety. You'll achieve 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 meets ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.
The framing around your windows is just as critical as the glass itself. We suggest insulated vinyl, thermally broken aluminum, or fiberglass frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to eliminate air leakage and condensation. Correct anchoring, shims, and flashing integrate units with your weather barrier, safeguarding structure and occupants. You'll get clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties consistent with manufacturer specifications.
Bespoke Shower Surrounds and Glass Accents
While you're upgrading your home's glass, custom shower enclosures deliver precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance customized for your space. We take precise measurements of openings, verify wall plumb, and designate tempered or laminated safety glass to satisfy building codes and reduce flex. You select frameless enclosures for less 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 fit tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron glass enhances visual clarity; protective coatings limit water spots. For aesthetics and privacy, we provide patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with anti-mold silicone, establish even reveals, and adjust sweep compression to stop leaks. Your enclosure fits perfectly, works flawlessly, and endures.
Prompt Restoration Work, Emergency Board‑Ups, and Security Standards
If glass breaks, you need a rapid, safe response that stabilizes the opening and protects people and property. We come prepared with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and measured panels to protect the location. After securing the zone, we eliminate loose shards, document conditions, and install solid board-ups or temporary glass 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 laminated, tempered, 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 Building Permits, Codes, and HOA Rules
As code compliance ensures safety and resale value, we start your project by determining the exact approvals your address requires: city permits, energy codes (WA State Energy Code), safety glazing standards (tempered/laminated near doors, wet areas, and low sills), egress dimensions, and wind/seismic standards. We validate scope, assign responsibilities, and set Permit timelines so you know when work starts and inspections happen. We manage submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design elements with community standards to eliminate delays.
You'll receive detailed Code updates related to glass placement and opening dimensions. Ahead of installation, we run inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. While performing work, we maintain jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Following approval, we archive 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 mandates, then optimize U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and sharp views, Low‑iron glass provides 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 cohesion and durability.
We catalog 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, offer care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, securing your investment and safety in the long run.
