Energy-Efficient Window Replacement and Improvement

Even though 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 lower U‑factor and solar heat gain without losing visible light. We assess orientation, local climate, and code requirements to specify glazing that meets ENERGY STAR targets here 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 stop air leakage and condensation. Appropriate anchoring, shims, and flashing connect units with your weather barrier, safeguarding occupants and structure. We provide clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties matching manufacturer specifications.

Personalized Shower Enclosures and Glass Accents

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, verify wall plumb, and specify tempered or laminated safety glass to meet code and limit flex. You pick frameless enclosures for reduced hardware and easy maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for clear edges and budget control.

We engineer door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to fit tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron panels increase transparency; protective finishes prevent spotting. For visual appeal and privacy, we offer patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mildew-resistant silicone, establish even reveals, and fine-tune sweep compression to prevent leaks. Your enclosure performs, fits, and lasts.

Fast Repairs, Emergency Board‑Ups, and Protection Standards

When glass shatters, you require a quick, secure response that stabilizes the gap and safeguards occupants and assets. We arrive equipped with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and custom-sized panels to secure the premises. After cordoning off the area, we eliminate loose shards, document the scene, and install rigid boarding or temporary glazing 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 laminated, tempered, or insulated glass matched to performance specs. We anchor boards to structural members only, maintain 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.

Navigating HOA Requirements, Permits, and Codes

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

You'll get transparent Code updates related to glass placement and opening dimensions. Before installation, we perform inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. Throughout work, we copyright 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

Before we order a single pane, we pair 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 optimize U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and sharp views, Low‑iron glass offers true color; for privacy, we offer acid‑etched or switchable alternatives. In wet zones, we select corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then coordinate Hardware finishes with your fixtures for cohesion and durability.

We record spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to protect warranty integrity. You will know exactly what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We record warranties, provide care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, preserving your investment and safety over the long term.
