Energy-Saving Window Replacement and Upgrades
Even if your current windows appear adequate, energy‑efficient replacements can decrease heat loss, decrease utility bills, and boost comfort without compromising safety. You'll obtain 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 evaluate orientation, local climate, and code requirements to specify glazing that meets ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.
Window framing enhancements matter as much as glass. We suggest insulated vinyl, thermally broken aluminum, or fiberglass frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to prevent air leakage and condensation. Proper anchoring, shims, and flashing incorporate units with your weather barrier, safeguarding both structure and occupants. We provide clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties matching manufacturer specifications.
Personalized Shower Enclosures and Glass Accents
As you upgrade your home's glass, custom shower enclosures offer precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance tailored to your space. We carefully measure openings, confirm wall plumb, and specify tempered or laminated safety glass to satisfy building codes and limit flex. You choose frameless enclosures for less hardware and easy maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for defined 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 treatments minimize spotting. For visual appeal and privacy, we include patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mildew-resistant silicone, ensure even reveals, and adjust sweep compression to avoid water leakage. Your enclosure functions, fits, and endures.
Quick Restoration Work, Immediate Board‑Ups, and Security Standards
If glass breaks, you need a quick, secure response that stabilizes the opening and protects people and property. We show up equipped with cut‑resistant gloves, eye more info protection, shatter‑collection tools, and measured panels to secure the site. After isolating the area, we clear loose pieces, assess 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 insulated, tempered, or laminated 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.
Navigating HOA Requirements, Permits, and Codes
Since code compliance protects safety and resale value, we initiate your project by identifying the exact approvals your address demands: 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 requirements. We confirm scope, assign responsibilities, and publish permit timelines so you know when work commences and inspections happen. We process submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design specifications with community standards to minimize delays.
You'll receive comprehensive Code updates related to glass placement and opening measurements. 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. 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 home's exposures, safety zones, and performance requirements. We select tempered or laminated safety glazing where code demands, then fine-tune U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and crisp views, Low‑iron glass provides true color; for privacy, we supply acid‑etched or switchable options. In wet zones, we specify corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then match Hardware finishes with your fixtures for durability and cohesion.
We log spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to guarantee warranty integrity. You'll be informed about what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We record warranties, provide care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, securing your investment and safety in the long run.
