- High-quality materials and comprehensive warranties: insulated frames, rust-resistant hardware, documented specifications, registered warranty coverage, and scheduled maintenance follow-ups.
High-Efficiency Window Upgrades and Replacement
Even if your current windows seem fine, energy‑efficient replacements can reduce heat loss, reduce utility bills, and enhance comfort without jeopardizing safety. You'll achieve 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 analyze orientation, local climate, and code requirements to specify glazing that fulfills ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.
Glass is only part of the equation—window framing enhancements are equally important. We advise insulated vinyl, thermally broken aluminum, or fiberglass frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to eliminate air leakage and condensation. Proper anchoring, shims, and flashing connect units with your weather barrier, safeguarding both structure and occupants. You'll get clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties matching manufacturer specifications.
Tailored Shower Systems and Glass Features
When you're enhancing your home's glass, custom shower enclosures provide precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance designed for your space. We take precise measurements of openings, verify wall plumb, and specify tempered or laminated safety glass to comply with regulations and reduce flex. You choose frameless enclosures for less hardware and effortless maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for defined edges and budget control.
We calculate door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to accommodate tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron panels increase transparency; protective treatments minimize spotting. For visual appeal and privacy, we offer patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with anti-mold silicone, create even reveals, and fine-tune sweep compression to prevent leaks. Your enclosure performs, fits, and lasts.
Swift Repairs, Immediate Board‑Ups, and Security Standards
When glass shatters, you require a swift, protected response that reinforces the opening and shields people and belongings. We come prepared with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and fitted panels to safeguard the area. After containing the space, we remove loose shards, document conditions, and install rigid board‑ups or Temporary glazing to restore weather, security, and energy 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, preserve 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.
Dealing with Permits, Codes, and HOA Requirements
Since code compliance ensures safety and resale value, we start your project by determining the exact approvals your address needs: city permits, energy codes (WA State Energy Code), safety glazing requirements (tempered/laminated near doors, wet areas, and low sills), egress dimensions, and wind/seismic criteria. We confirm scope, assign responsibilities, and provide permit timelines so you know when work begins and inspections take place. We process submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design details with community standards to minimize delays.
We provide transparent Code updates affecting glass placement and opening sizes. Ahead of installation, we run Inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. During work, we maintain jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Upon approval, we file permits for your records and future resale.
Selecting the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Before we order a single pane, we match glass types and hardware to your residence's exposures, safety zones, and performance requirements. We select tempered or laminated safety glazing where code mandates, then calibrate U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and crisp views, Low‑iron glass offers true color; for privacy, we supply acid‑etched or switchable options. In wet zones, we select corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then match Hardware finishes with your fixtures for cohesion and durability.
We log spacer type, gas fill, here and sealant system to protect warranty integrity. You'll be informed about what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We record warranties, supply care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, securing your investment and safety over the long term.
