High-Efficiency Window Replacement and Improvement
While your current windows appear adequate, energy‑efficient replacements can decrease heat loss, decrease utility bills, and enhance comfort without compromising 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 assess 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 suggest insulated vinyl, fiberglass, or thermally broken aluminum 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, protecting occupants and structure. We provide clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties aligned with manufacturer specifications.
Custom Shower Surrounds and Glass Elements
When you're enhancing your home's glass, custom shower enclosures offer 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 meet code and limit flex. You pick frameless enclosures for minimal hardware and easy maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for distinct edges and budget control.
We calculate door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to match tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron panels enhance clarity; protective coatings limit water spots. For style and privacy, we provide patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with anti-mold silicone, ensure even reveals, and adjust sweep compression to avoid water leakage. Your enclosure fits perfectly, works flawlessly, and endures.
Quick Restoration Work, Emergency Board‑Ups, and Protection Standards
If glass breaks, you need a swift, protected response that stabilizes the gap and shields people and belongings. We arrive outfitted with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and measured panels to protect the location. After securing the zone, we clear loose pieces, record the situation, and install rigid board‑ups or Temporary glazing to restore weather, security, and energy 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 more info 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.
Handling Permits, Codes, and HOA Requirements
Since code compliance ensures safety and resale value, we commence your project by identifying the exact approvals your address needs: 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 requirements. We confirm scope, assign responsibilities, and provide permit timelines so you know when work starts and inspections happen. We oversee submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design specifications with community standards to avoid delays.
We provide clear Code updates impacting glass placement and opening measurements. Before installation, we conduct inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. In the course of work, we preserve jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Upon approval, we archive permits for your records and future resale.
Choosing the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Before we order a single pane, we pair glass types and hardware to your home's exposures, safety zones, and performance requirements. We select tempered or laminated safety glazing where code mandates, then calibrate U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and clear views, Low‑iron glass delivers true color; for privacy, we offer acid‑etched or switchable solutions. In wet zones, we select corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then match Hardware finishes with your fixtures for durability and cohesion.
We document 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 file warranties, provide care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, preserving your investment and safety in the long run.
