Energy-Saving Window Upgrades and Replacement

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

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

Custom Shower Surrounds and Glass Features

While upgrading your home's glass, custom shower enclosures deliver precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance designed for your space. We carefully measure openings, confirm wall plumb, and select tempered or laminated safety glass to comply with regulations and reduce flex. You select frameless enclosures for less hardware and simple maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for distinct edges and budget control.

We plan door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to accommodate tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron glass improves clarity; protective coatings reduce spotting. For aesthetics and privacy, we offer patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mildew-resistant silicone, create even reveals, and adjust sweep compression to prevent leaks. Your enclosure fits perfectly, works flawlessly, and endures.

Prompt Repairs, Critical Board‑Ups, and Protection Standards

If glass breaks, you need a quick, secure response that secures the breach and shields people and belongings. We come prepared with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and measured panels to secure the site. After cordoning off the area, we extract loose fragments, document conditions, and install solid board-ups or temporary glass to restore weather protection, security, and climate 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 tempered, laminated, 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.

Navigating Building Permits, Codes, and HOA Rules

Because code compliance protects safety and resale value, we commence your project by determining the exact approvals your address demands: city permits, energy codes (WA State Energy Code), safety glazing rules (tempered/laminated near doors, wet areas, and low sills), egress dimensions, and wind/seismic criteria. We verify scope, assign responsibilities, and provide Permit timelines so you know when work begins and inspections happen. We process submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design components with community standards to eliminate delays.

We deliver clear Code updates related to glass placement and opening sizes. Ahead of installation, we perform verification checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. Throughout work, we copyright jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Once we receive approval, we maintain permits for your records and future resale.

Picking the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties

Prior to ordering any single pane, we align glass types and hardware to your residence's exposures, safety zones, and performance requirements. We select tempered or laminated safety glazing where code demands, then calibrate U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and here sharp views, Low‑iron glass offers true color; for privacy, we offer acid‑etched or switchable solutions. In wet zones, we specify 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 guarantee warranty integrity. You'll know what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We record warranties, deliver care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, preserving your investment and safety over the long term.
