- Quality materials and warranties: thermally insulated frames, corrosion-proof hardware, detailed specifications, registered protection plans, and scheduled service check-ins.
High-Efficiency Window Replacement and Upgrades
Even though your current windows appear adequate, energy‑efficient replacements can decrease heat loss, lower utility bills, and enhance comfort without jeopardizing safety. You'll gain measurable performance by combining Low‑E upgrades with gas fills and warm‑edge spacers to reduce 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. Proper anchoring, shims, and flashing incorporate units with your weather barrier, protecting both structure and occupants. We provide clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties aligned with manufacturer specifications.
Bespoke Shower Systems and Glass Components
While upgrading your home's glass, custom shower enclosures offer precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance designed for your space. We carefully measure openings, verify wall plumb, and designate tempered more info or laminated safety glass to meet code and minimize flex. You choose frameless enclosures for less hardware and simple maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for distinct edges and budget control.
We engineer door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to match tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron glass improves clarity; protective coatings reduce spotting. For visual appeal and privacy, we include patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with anti-mold silicone, ensure even reveals, and fine-tune sweep compression to stop leaks. Your enclosure performs, fits, and lasts.
Rapid Fix Services, Critical Board‑Ups, and Security Standards
When glass shatters, you require a quick, secure response that reinforces the opening and shields people and belongings. We arrive equipped with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and fitted panels to safeguard the area. After securing the zone, we eliminate loose shards, record the situation, and install solid board-ups or temporary glass to restore weather protection, security, and climate 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 laminated, tempered, or insulated glass matched to performance specs. We anchor boards to structural members only, protect 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.
Managing Permits, Building Codes, and HOA Regulations
Since code compliance protects 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 criteria. We validate scope, assign responsibilities, and set Permit timelines so you know when work commences and inspections occur. We process submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design components with community standards to minimize delays.
You'll receive detailed Code updates impacting glass placement and opening sizes. Prior to installation, we execute Inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. Throughout work, we copyright jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. After approval, we archive permits for your records and future resale.
Picking the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Prior to ordering any single pane, we match glass types and hardware to your property's exposures, safety zones, and performance requirements. We select tempered or laminated safety glazing where code requires, then calibrate 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 alternatives. In wet zones, we choose corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then align Hardware finishes with your fixtures for cohesion and durability.
We record spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to ensure 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 over the long term.
