Energy-Saving Window Replacement and Upgrades

While your current windows appear adequate, energy‑efficient replacements can reduce heat loss, reduce utility bills, and enhance comfort without compromising safety. You'll gain measurable performance by combining Low‑E upgrades with gas fills and warm‑edge spacers to lower U‑factor and solar heat gain without compromising visible light. We evaluate orientation, local climate, and code requirements to specify glazing that satisfies ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.

The framing around your windows is just as critical as the glass itself. We advise insulated vinyl, fiberglass, or thermally broken aluminum frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to stop air leakage and condensation. Proper anchoring, shims, and flashing connect units with your weather barrier, safeguarding occupants and structure. We provide clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties matching manufacturer specifications.

Bespoke Shower Surrounds and Glass Features

While you're upgrading your home's glass, custom shower enclosures deliver precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance customized for your space. We field-measure openings, confirm wall plumb, and select tempered or laminated safety glass to meet code and minimize flex. You choose frameless enclosures for less hardware and simple maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for clear edges and budget control.

We plan door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to match tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron glass improves clarity; protective treatments minimize spotting. For privacy and style, we feature patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mold-resistant silicone, establish even reveals, and fine-tune sweep compression to eliminate leaks. Your enclosure fits, functions, and lasts.

Swift Repairs, Urgent Board‑Ups, and Protection Standards

If glass breaks, you need a quick, secure response that reinforces the opening and protects people and property. We arrive equipped with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and custom-sized panels to safeguard the area. After cordoning off the area, we eliminate loose shards, document conditions, and install rigid board‑ups or Temporary glazing 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.

Understanding Permits, Codes, and HOA Requirements

As code compliance safeguards safety and resale value, we initiate your project by outlining 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 validate 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 elements with community standards to eliminate delays.

We deliver detailed Code updates related to glass placement and opening dimensions. Before installation, we conduct inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. In the course of work, we ensure jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. After approval, we archive permits for your records and future resale.

Choosing the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties

Prior to ordering any single pane, we pair glass types and hardware to your residence's exposures, safety zones, and performance objectives. We designate 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 delivers true color; for privacy, we provide acid‑etched or switchable solutions. In wet zones, we select corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then match Hardware finishes with your fixtures for lasting durability and visual cohesion.

We catalog 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 file warranties, supply care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, protecting your investment and safety in the long run.
