Energy-Saving Window Replacement and Improvement

While your current windows appear adequate, energy‑efficient replacements can reduce heat loss, decrease utility bills, and boost comfort without compromising safety. You'll gain measurable performance by combining Low‑E upgrades with gas fills read more and warm‑edge spacers to reduce U‑factor and solar heat gain without sacrificing visible light. We assess 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 eliminate 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 aligned with manufacturer specifications.

Tailored Shower Installations and Glass Elements

As you upgrade your home's glass, custom shower enclosures offer precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance tailored to your space. We take precise measurements of openings, confirm wall plumb, and specify tempered or laminated safety glass to meet code and reduce flex. You choose frameless enclosures for less hardware and easy maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for distinct edges and budget control.

We engineer door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to suit tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron glass improves clarity; protective coatings reduce spotting. For privacy and style, we provide 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 stop leaks. Your enclosure performs, fits, and lasts.

Fast Fix Services, Immediate Board‑Ups, and Protection Standards

If glass breaks, you need a quick, secure response that reinforces the opening and shields people and belongings. We show up equipped with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and measured panels to safeguard the area. After cordoning off the area, we extract loose fragments, document the scene, and install sturdy board-ups or interim glazing to restore weather, security, and energy control.

We provide you with 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

As code compliance safeguards safety and resale value, we begin your project by identifying the exact approvals your address requires: city permits, energy codes (Washington 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 provide Permit timelines so you know when work starts and inspections happen. We oversee submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design details with community standards to minimize delays.

You'll receive comprehensive Code updates related to glass placement and opening measurements. Prior to installation, we perform verification checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. While performing work, we ensure jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. After approval, we file 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 property's exposures, safety zones, and performance requirements. We designate tempered or laminated safety glazing where code demands, then calibrate U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and crisp views, Low‑iron glass delivers true color; for privacy, we offer acid‑etched or switchable solutions. In wet zones, we select corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then coordinate Hardware finishes with your fixtures for lasting durability and visual cohesion.

We document spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to guarantee warranty integrity. You'll understand what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We document warranties, supply care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, safeguarding your investment and safety for the long haul.
