Energy-Saving Window Upgrades and Replacement
While your current windows seem fine, energy‑efficient replacements can cut 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 losing visible light. We evaluate 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 advise insulated vinyl, fiberglass, or thermally broken aluminum frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to eliminate air leakage and condensation. Proper anchoring, shims, and flashing connect units with your weather barrier, safeguarding structure and occupants. You'll get clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties consistent with manufacturer specifications.
Custom Shower Surrounds and Glass Components
As you upgrade your home's glass, custom shower enclosures offer precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance designed for your space. We carefully measure openings, confirm wall plumb, and specify tempered or laminated safety glass to meet code and minimize flex. You select frameless enclosures for less 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 accommodate tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron panels increase transparency; protective treatments minimize spotting. For aesthetics and privacy, we offer patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mold-resistant silicone, ensure even reveals, and adjust sweep compression to prevent leaks. Your enclosure fits, functions, and lasts.
Prompt Repair Services, Immediate Board‑Ups, and Security Standards
When glass shatters, you require a quick, secure response that reinforces the opening and safeguards occupants and assets. We arrive outfitted with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and fitted panels to secure the premises. After cordoning off the area, we eliminate loose shards, document the scene, and install solid board-ups or temporary glass to restore weather resistance, security, and thermal 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 laminated, tempered, 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.
Dealing with Codes, Permits, and HOA Requirements
As code compliance ensures safety and resale value, we initiate your project by outlining the exact approvals your address needs: city permits, energy codes (WA State Energy Code), safety glazing regulations (tempered/laminated near doors, wet areas, and low sills), egress dimensions, and wind/seismic criteria. We establish scope, assign responsibilities, and publish Permit timelines so you know when work begins and inspections occur. We process submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design details with community standards to eliminate delays.
You'll receive comprehensive Code updates impacting glass placement and opening measurements. Ahead of installation, we conduct inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. During work, we ensure jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Once we receive approval, we maintain permits for your records and future resale.
Choosing the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Before ordering a single pane, we match glass types and hardware to your property's exposures, safety zones, and performance goals. We designate tempered or laminated safety glazing where code demands, then calibrate U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and clear views, Low‑iron glass delivers true color; for privacy, we provide acid‑etched or switchable alternatives. In wet zones, we specify corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then align Hardware finishes with your fixtures for cohesion and durability.
We record spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to maintain warranty integrity. You'll understand what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We document warranties, offer care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, safeguarding your investment and safety for the long haul.
