High-Efficiency Window Replacement and Improvement
While your current windows look satisfactory, energy‑efficient replacements can decrease heat loss, reduce utility bills, and improve comfort without jeopardizing safety. You'll achieve measurable performance by combining Low‑E upgrades with gas fills and warm‑edge spacers to minimize U‑factor and solar heat gain without compromising 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 suggest insulated fiberglass, vinyl, or thermally broken aluminum frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to stop air leakage and condensation. Appropriate anchoring, shims, and flashing connect units with your weather barrier, safeguarding both structure and occupants. We provide clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties matching manufacturer specifications.
Bespoke Shower Systems 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 field-measure openings, confirm wall plumb, and designate tempered or laminated safety glass to meet code and limit flex. You choose frameless enclosures for reduced hardware and effortless maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for clear edges and budget control.
We calculate door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to match tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron glass improves clarity; protective finishes prevent spotting. For aesthetics and privacy, we include patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mildew-resistant silicone, create even reveals, and calibrate sweep compression to stop leaks. Your enclosure fits perfectly, works flawlessly, and endures.
Prompt Fix Services, Emergency Board‑Ups, and Safety Standards
When glass shatters, you require a quick, secure response that secures the breach and shields people and belongings. We come prepared with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and fitted panels to secure the site. After securing the zone, we remove loose shards, document the scene, and install rigid boarding or temporary glazing 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.
Understanding HOA Requirements, Permits, and Codes
Since code compliance safeguards safety and resale value, we initiate your project by outlining 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 criteria. We confirm scope, assign responsibilities, and set Permit timelines so you know when work commences and inspections happen. We oversee submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design elements with community standards to avoid delays.
You'll receive comprehensive Code updates affecting glass placement and opening dimensions. Before installation, we run inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. During work, we ensure jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Upon approval, we store permits for your records and future resale.
Choosing 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 specify 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 offers true color; for privacy, we supply acid‑etched or switchable options. In wet zones, we select 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'll be informed about what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We record warranties, offer care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, safeguarding your investment and safety for the long haul.
