Energy-Efficient Window Upgrades and Replacement

Even if your current windows appear adequate, energy‑efficient replacements can reduce heat loss, decrease utility bills, and improve comfort without sacrificing safety. You'll achieve measurable performance by combining Low‑E upgrades with gas fills and warm‑edge spacers to minimize U‑factor and solar heat gain without sacrificing visible light. We evaluate orientation, local climate, and code requirements to specify glazing that fulfills 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 prevent air leakage and condensation. Appropriate anchoring, shims, and flashing connect units with your weather barrier, safeguarding both structure and occupants. We provide clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties aligned with manufacturer specifications.

Tailored Shower Enclosures and Glass Components

While upgrading your home's glass, custom shower enclosures provide precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance designed for your space. We carefully measure openings, check wall plumb, and designate tempered or laminated safety glass to comply with regulations and limit flex. You pick frameless enclosures for less hardware and effortless maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for defined edges and budget control.

We plan door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to accommodate tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron panels increase transparency; protective coatings limit water spots. For aesthetics and privacy, we provide patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mold-inhibiting silicone, set even reveals, and calibrate sweep compression to avoid water leakage. Your enclosure functions, fits, and endures.

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

When glass breaks, you need a fast, safe solution that stabilizes the gap and protects individuals and property. We come prepared with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and pre-cut panels to secure the premises. After cordoning off the area, we remove loose shards, document conditions, and install solid board-ups or temporary glass to restore weatherproofing, safety, and energy efficiency.

We provide you with 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, pet/child zones, and alarm sensors. You leave with a stabilized opening and a confirmed follow‑up plan.

Understanding Codes, Permits, and HOA Requirements

Because code compliance protects 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 standards (tempered/laminated near doors, wet areas, and low sills), egress dimensions, and wind/seismic criteria. We validate scope, assign responsibilities, and establish permit timelines so you know when work starts and inspections happen. We process submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design details with community standards to eliminate delays.

You'll receive clear Code updates affecting glass placement and opening sizes. Before installation, we execute inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. While performing work, we preserve jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Upon approval, we maintain permits for your records and future resale.

Selecting the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties

Before ordering a single pane, we align glass types and hardware to your home's exposures, safety zones, and performance objectives. 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 provides true color; for privacy, we supply acid‑etched or switchable options. In wet zones, we choose corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then align Hardware finishes with your fixtures for lasting durability and visual cohesion.

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