High-Efficiency Window Upgrades and Replacement
Even though your current windows seem fine, energy‑efficient replacements can decrease heat loss, decrease utility bills, and boost comfort without jeopardizing safety. You'll achieve measurable performance by combining Low‑E upgrades with gas fills and warm‑edge spacers to reduce U‑factor and solar heat gain without compromising visible light. We assess orientation, local climate, and code requirements to specify glazing that satisfies ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.
Window framing enhancements matter as much as glass. 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 incorporate units with your weather barrier, preserving structure and occupants. You'll receive clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties consistent with manufacturer specifications.
Bespoke Shower Systems and Glass Elements
As you upgrade your home's glass, custom shower enclosures provide precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance designed for your space. We field-measure openings, verify wall plumb, and designate tempered or laminated safety glass to meet code and minimize flex. You choose frameless enclosures for minimal 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 panels increase transparency; protective coatings reduce spotting. For aesthetics and privacy, we include patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with anti-mold silicone, create even reveals, and fine-tune sweep compression to stop leaks. Your enclosure fits perfectly, works flawlessly, and endures.
Quick Restoration Work, Critical Board‑Ups, and Safety Standards
When glass shatters, you require a fast, safe solution that stabilizes the gap and safeguards occupants and assets. We arrive equipped with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and fitted panels to secure the site. After containing the space, we clear loose pieces, document conditions, and install rigid board‑ups or Temporary glazing to restore weather, security, and energy 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 laminated, tempered, 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.
Understanding Permits, Building Codes, and HOA Regulations
As code compliance protects safety and resale value, we start your project by outlining the exact approvals your address needs: 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 standards. We confirm scope, assign responsibilities, and set Permit timelines so you know when work starts and inspections happen. We process submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design specifications with community standards to eliminate delays.
You'll get detailed Code updates impacting glass placement and opening measurements. Ahead of installation, we perform inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. During work, we maintain jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. After approval, we store permits for your records and future resale.
Selecting the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Before we order a single pane, we pair glass types and hardware to your home's exposures, safety zones, and performance objectives. We specify tempered or laminated safety glazing where code mandates, 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 solutions. In wet zones, we specify corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then align Hardware finishes with your fixtures for lasting durability and visual cohesion.
We record spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to protect warranty integrity. You'll know what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We register warranties, supply care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, securing your investment and safety long‑term.
