High-Efficiency Window Upgrades and Replacement

While your current windows look satisfactory, energy‑efficient replacements can decrease heat loss, reduce utility bills, and enhance comfort without sacrificing safety. You'll obtain 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 evaluate orientation, local climate, and code requirements to specify glazing that meets ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.

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

Bespoke Shower Installations and Glass Features

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

We engineer door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to accommodate tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron panels increase transparency; protective coatings reduce spotting. For style and privacy, we include patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mildew-resistant silicone, set even reveals, and calibrate sweep compression to avoid water leakage. Your enclosure fits, functions, and lasts.

Fast Restoration Work, Emergency Board‑Ups, and Protection Standards

If glass breaks, you need a rapid, safe response that reinforces the opening and shields people and belongings. We arrive equipped with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and pre-cut panels to protect the location. After containing the space, we extract loose fragments, document conditions, and install solid board-ups or temporary glass to restore weatherproofing, safety, and energy efficiency.

You receive 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, preserve 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.

Managing Codes, Permits, and HOA Requirements

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

We deliver clear Code updates affecting glass placement and opening sizes. Ahead of installation, we run Inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. While performing work, we ensure jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Once we receive approval, we archive permits for your records and future resale.

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

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