High-Efficiency Window Replacement and Upgrades

While your current windows seem fine, energy‑efficient replacements can decrease heat loss, reduce utility bills, and enhance comfort without compromising safety. You'll achieve 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 evaluate 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 fiberglass, vinyl, or thermally broken aluminum frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to prevent air leakage and condensation. Correct anchoring, shims, and flashing integrate units with your weather barrier, protecting structure and occupants. We provide clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties matching manufacturer specifications.

Bespoke Shower Installations and Glass Accents

While you're upgrading your home's glass, custom shower enclosures deliver precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance designed for your space. We carefully measure openings, confirm wall plumb, and designate tempered or laminated safety glass to satisfy building codes and reduce flex. You choose frameless enclosures for minimal hardware and effortless maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for distinct edges and budget control.

We calculate door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to accommodate tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron glass improves clarity; protective coatings reduce spotting. For style and privacy, we offer 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 eliminate leaks. Your enclosure functions, fits, and endures.

Rapid Repairs, Critical Board‑Ups, and Protection Standards

When glass is broken, you require a fast, safe solution that reinforces the opening and protects individuals and property. We come prepared with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and custom-sized panels to protect the location. After securing the zone, we eliminate loose shards, assess conditions, and install rigid boarding or temporary glazing to restore weatherproofing, safety, and energy efficiency.

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

Managing Codes, Permits, and HOA Requirements

As code compliance protects safety and resale value, we begin your project by determining the exact approvals your address requires: 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 confirm scope, assign responsibilities, and set Permit timelines so you know when work begins and inspections occur. We manage submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design details with community standards to prevent delays.

We deliver clear Code updates impacting glass placement and opening sizes. Before installation, we run verification checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. Throughout work, we preserve jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Upon approval, we file permits for your records and future resale.

Picking the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties

Before we order a single pane, we align glass types and hardware to your property'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 provides true color; for privacy, we supply acid‑etched or switchable solutions. In wet zones, we specify corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then match Hardware finishes with your fixtures for durability and cohesion.

We document 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 register warranties, provide care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, protecting your investment and safety long‑term.
