Energy-Efficient Window Replacement and Improvement

Even if your current windows appear adequate, energy‑efficient replacements can cut heat loss, lower utility bills, and boost comfort without compromising safety. You'll gain 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 assess orientation, local climate, and code requirements to specify glazing that satisfies ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.

Glass is only part of the equation—window framing enhancements are equally important. We advise insulated vinyl, thermally broken aluminum, or fiberglass frames, check here sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to stop air leakage and condensation. Proper anchoring, shims, and flashing connect units with your weather barrier, preserving both structure and occupants. You'll get clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties aligned with manufacturer specifications.

Tailored Shower Systems and Glass Accents

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, check wall plumb, and specify tempered or laminated safety glass to satisfy building codes and minimize flex. You pick frameless enclosures for less hardware and simple maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for clear edges and budget control.

We engineer door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to suit tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron glass improves clarity; protective coatings reduce spotting. For privacy and style, we feature patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mold-resistant silicone, create even reveals, and adjust sweep compression to avoid water leakage. Your enclosure fits perfectly, works flawlessly, and endures.

Quick Repair Services, Emergency Board‑Ups, and Safety Standards

If glass breaks, you need a swift, protected response that secures the breach 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, assess conditions, and install solid board-ups or temporary glass to restore weather resistance, security, and thermal control.

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 laminated, tempered, or insulated 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.

Dealing with Permits, Codes, and HOA Requirements

As code compliance safeguards safety and resale value, we initiate your project by mapping the exact approvals your address needs: 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 establish scope, assign responsibilities, and set permit timelines so you know when work starts and inspections take place. We manage submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design components with community standards to minimize delays.

We provide clear Code updates related to glass placement and opening measurements. Before installation, we conduct Inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. During work, we preserve jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Following approval, we store 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 property's exposures, safety zones, and performance goals. We select tempered or laminated safety glazing where code demands, then fine-tune U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and crisp views, Low‑iron glass delivers true color; for privacy, we provide acid‑etched or switchable alternatives. In wet zones, we select corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then coordinate Hardware finishes with your fixtures for durability and cohesion.

We catalog spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to maintain warranty integrity. You'll know what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We document warranties, deliver care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, preserving your investment and safety for the long haul.
