- Quality materials and warranties: insulated frames, rust-resistant hardware, documented specifications, registered warranty coverage, and scheduled maintenance follow-ups.
High-Efficiency Window Replacement and Improvement
Even if your current windows seem fine, energy‑efficient replacements can cut heat loss, decrease utility bills, and boost comfort without sacrificing 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 losing visible light. We analyze orientation, local climate, and code requirements to specify glazing that fulfills ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.
The framing around your windows is just as critical as the glass itself. We suggest insulated vinyl, thermally broken aluminum, or fiberglass frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to prevent air leakage and condensation. Proper anchoring, shims, and flashing connect units with your weather barrier, protecting both structure and occupants. You'll get clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties consistent with manufacturer specifications.
Personalized Shower Systems and Glass Features
As you upgrade your home's glass, custom shower enclosures offer precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance designed for your space. We carefully measure openings, check wall plumb, and select tempered or laminated safety glass to meet code and reduce 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 enhance clarity; protective treatments minimize spotting. For style and privacy, we include patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with anti-mold silicone, create even reveals, and adjust sweep compression to stop leaks. Your enclosure functions, fits, and endures.
Quick Restoration Work, Emergency Board‑Ups, and Protection Standards
When glass breaks, you need a fast, safe solution that stabilizes the gap and safeguards occupants and assets. We come prepared with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and custom-sized panels to secure the site. After securing the zone, we remove loose shards, document the scene, 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 insulated, tempered, or laminated glass matched to performance specs. We anchor boards to structural members only, protect 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 HOA Requirements, Permits, and Codes
Because code compliance protects safety and resale value, we commence your project by determining 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 criteria. We validate scope, assign responsibilities, and provide Permit timelines so you know when work commences and inspections occur. We handle submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design specifications with community standards to eliminate delays.
We provide clear Code updates impacting glass placement and opening dimensions. Prior to installation, we perform verification checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. In the course of work, we maintain jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. After approval, we file permits for your records and future resale.
Picking the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Before ordering a single pane, we pair glass types and hardware to your residence's exposures, safety zones, and performance requirements. We select tempered or laminated safety glazing where code demands, then calibrate 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 options. In wet zones, we specify corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then align Hardware finishes with your fixtures for lasting durability and visual cohesion.
We record spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to ensure warranty integrity. You'll understand what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We record warranties, supply care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, protecting your investment and safety long‑term.
