Energy-Efficient Window Replacement and Improvement

Even if your current windows seem fine, energy‑efficient replacements can reduce 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 minimize U‑factor and solar heat gain without sacrificing visible light. We analyze orientation, local climate, and code requirements to specify glazing that fulfills ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.

Glass is only part of the equation—window framing enhancements are equally important. We recommend insulated fiberglass, vinyl, or thermally broken aluminum frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to prevent air leakage and condensation. Correct anchoring, shims, and flashing incorporate units with your weather barrier, safeguarding structure and occupants. We provide clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties aligned with manufacturer specifications.

Bespoke Shower Installations and Glass Features

When you're enhancing your home's glass, custom shower enclosures provide precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance designed for your space. We carefully measure openings, verify wall plumb, and specify tempered or laminated safety glass to satisfy building codes and limit flex. You pick frameless enclosures for minimal hardware and simple maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for distinct edges and budget control.

We design door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to accommodate tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron panels enhance clarity; protective finishes prevent spotting. For style and privacy, we include patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mold-resistant silicone, ensure even reveals, and fine-tune sweep compression to prevent leaks. Your enclosure functions, fits, and endures.

Quick Restoration Work, Immediate Board‑Ups, and Safety Standards

If glass breaks, you need a rapid, safe response that stabilizes the opening and safeguards occupants and assets. We arrive outfitted with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and custom-sized panels to protect the location. After cordoning off the area, we extract loose fragments, assess conditions, and install sturdy board-ups or interim glazing to restore weather protection, security, and climate control.

You get 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, maintain 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.

Managing Codes, Permits, and HOA Requirements

As code compliance ensures safety and resale value, we commence your project by mapping the exact approvals your address requires: city permits, energy codes (WA State Energy Code), safety glazing rules (tempered/laminated near doors, wet areas, and low sills), egress dimensions, and wind/seismic criteria. We verify scope, assign responsibilities, and establish Permit timelines so you know when work begins and inspections take place. We process submittals, drawings, and here calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design elements with community standards to minimize delays.

You'll receive clear Code updates affecting glass placement and opening dimensions. Prior to installation, we execute inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. In the course of work, we copyright jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Following approval, we file permits for your records and future resale.

Choosing the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties

Before ordering a single pane, we pair glass types and hardware to your residence'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 crisp views, Low‑iron glass offers true color; for privacy, we provide acid‑etched or switchable solutions. In wet zones, we choose 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 be informed about what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We file warranties, supply care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, securing your investment and safety for the long haul.
