High-Efficiency Window Replacement and Upgrades

While your current windows look satisfactory, energy‑efficient replacements can reduce heat loss, decrease utility bills, and boost comfort without sacrificing 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 losing visible light. We evaluate orientation, local climate, and code requirements to specify glazing that meets ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.

Glass is only part of the equation—window framing enhancements are equally important. We suggest insulated vinyl, thermally broken aluminum, or fiberglass frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to prevent air leakage and condensation. Correct anchoring, shims, and flashing incorporate units with your weather barrier, safeguarding structure and occupants. We provide clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties aligned with manufacturer specifications.

Custom Shower Installations and Glass Elements

As you upgrade your home's glass, custom shower enclosures offer precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance designed for your space. We field-measure openings, confirm wall plumb, and designate tempered or laminated safety glass to comply with regulations and limit flex. You choose frameless enclosures for minimal hardware and effortless maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for distinct edges and budget control.

We plan door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to suit tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron panels increase transparency; protective treatments minimize spotting. For style and privacy, we include patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mold-inhibiting silicone, set even reveals, and regulate sweep compression to prevent leaks. Your enclosure performs, fits, and lasts.

Fast Repairs, Urgent Board‑Ups, and Safety Standards

When glass shatters, you require a rapid, safe response that reinforces the opening and protects individuals and property. We come prepared with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and fitted panels to secure the premises. After securing the zone, we eliminate loose shards, document conditions, and install rigid board‑ups or Temporary glazing 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 laminated, tempered, or insulated glass matched to performance specs. We anchor boards to structural members only, protect 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 Building Permits, Codes, and HOA Rules

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

You'll receive comprehensive Code updates affecting glass placement and opening measurements. Prior to installation, we conduct inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. While performing work, we maintain jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. After approval, we archive permits for your records and future resale.

Selecting 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 requirements. We specify tempered or laminated safety glazing where code demands, then optimize U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and sharp views, Low‑iron glass provides true color; for privacy, we provide acid‑etched or switchable options. In wet zones, we select corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then match Hardware finishes with your fixtures for durability and cohesion.

We record spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to guarantee warranty integrity. You will know exactly what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We document warranties, offer care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, safeguarding your investment and safety in the long run.
