High-Efficiency Window Replacement and Upgrades

Even if your current windows seem fine, energy‑efficient replacements can reduce heat loss, reduce utility bills, and improve comfort without sacrificing safety. You'll gain 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.

The framing around your windows is just as critical as the glass itself. We recommend insulated vinyl, fiberglass, or thermally broken aluminum frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to prevent air leakage and condensation. Correct anchoring, shims, and flashing incorporate units with your weather barrier, preserving structure and occupants. You'll get clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties consistent with manufacturer specifications.

Custom Shower Installations and Glass Components

While upgrading your home's glass, custom shower enclosures provide precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance customized for your space. We take precise measurements of openings, confirm wall plumb, and specify tempered or laminated safety glass to satisfy building codes and minimize flex. You select frameless enclosures for reduced hardware and easy maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for clear edges and budget control.

We plan door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to match tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron panels increase transparency; protective treatments minimize spotting. For visual appeal and privacy, we provide patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with anti-mold silicone, ensure even reveals, and calibrate sweep compression to eliminate leaks. Your enclosure functions, fits, and endures.

Swift Restoration Work, Critical Board‑Ups, and Security Standards

When glass is broken, you require a quick, secure response that stabilizes the opening and protects individuals and property. We arrive outfitted with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and fitted panels to safeguard the area. After securing the zone, we remove loose shards, document the scene, and install rigid board‑ups or Temporary glazing 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, 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 Building Permits, Codes, and HOA Rules

Since code compliance protects safety and resale value, we commence your project by outlining the exact approvals your address requires: city permits, energy codes (WA State Energy Code), safety glazing standards (tempered/laminated near doors, wet areas, and low sills), egress dimensions, and wind/seismic standards. We establish scope, assign responsibilities, and establish permit timelines so you know when work starts and inspections happen. We oversee submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design elements with community standards to avoid delays.

We provide clear Code updates affecting glass placement and opening sizes. Prior to installation, we perform inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. In the course of work, we maintain jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Following approval, we file permits for your records and future resale.

Choosing the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties

Before ordering a single pane, we match glass types and hardware to your residence'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 clear views, Low‑iron glass provides true color; for privacy, we supply acid‑etched or switchable alternatives. In wet zones, we select corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then coordinate Hardware finishes with your fixtures for lasting durability and visual cohesion.

We document spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to guarantee 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 long‑term.
