Energy-Efficient Window Replacement and Upgrades

While your current windows seem fine, energy‑efficient replacements can decrease heat loss, reduce utility bills, and improve 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 meets ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.

Window framing enhancements matter as much as glass. We advise insulated fiberglass, vinyl, or thermally broken aluminum frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to prevent air leakage and condensation. Proper anchoring, shims, and flashing integrate units with your weather barrier, protecting occupants and structure. You'll receive clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties matching manufacturer specifications.

Bespoke Shower Installations and Glass Elements

While upgrading your home's glass, custom shower enclosures offer precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance designed for your space. We carefully measure openings, verify wall plumb, and designate tempered or laminated safety glass to meet code and minimize flex. You pick frameless enclosures for minimal hardware and easy maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for defined edges and budget control.

We plan door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to fit tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron panels enhance clarity; protective treatments minimize spotting. For aesthetics 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 calibrate sweep compression to prevent leaks. Your enclosure fits perfectly, works flawlessly, and endures.

Quick Repair Services, Immediate Board‑Ups, and Safety Standards

When glass is broken, you require a swift, protected response that secures the breach and safeguards occupants and assets. We arrive outfitted with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and pre-cut panels to secure the site. After securing the zone, we eliminate loose shards, document the scene, and install rigid boarding or temporary glazing to restore weather resistance, security, and thermal 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 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, pet/child zones, and more info alarm sensors. You leave with a stabilized opening and a confirmed follow‑up plan.

Handling Codes, Permits, and HOA Requirements

Since code compliance ensures safety and resale value, we begin your project by identifying the exact approvals your address demands: city permits, energy codes (WA State Energy Code), safety glazing standards (tempered/laminated near doors, wet areas, and low sills), egress dimensions, and wind/seismic requirements. We establish scope, assign responsibilities, and provide permit timelines so you know when work starts and inspections occur. We manage submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design details with community standards to prevent delays.

We provide transparent Code updates related to glass placement and opening dimensions. Prior to installation, we run Inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. Throughout work, we ensure jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. After approval, we maintain 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 home's exposures, safety zones, and performance goals. We select tempered or laminated safety glazing where code requires, then calibrate U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and sharp views, Low‑iron glass delivers true color; for privacy, we supply acid‑etched or switchable solutions. In wet zones, we choose corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then align Hardware finishes with your fixtures for durability and cohesion.

We record spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to ensure warranty integrity. You'll know what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We document warranties, deliver care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, safeguarding your investment and safety long‑term.
