High-Efficiency Window Replacement and Upgrades

Even if your current windows seem fine, energy‑efficient replacements can decrease heat loss, decrease utility bills, and improve comfort without compromising 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 satisfies ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.

Glass is only part of the equation—window framing enhancements are equally important. We suggest insulated vinyl, thermally broken aluminum, or fiberglass frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to eliminate air leakage and condensation. Appropriate anchoring, shims, and flashing incorporate units with your weather barrier, safeguarding occupants and structure. We provide clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties aligned with manufacturer specifications.

Tailored Shower Systems and Glass Features

While upgrading your home's glass, custom shower enclosures deliver precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance customized for your space. We field-measure openings, check wall plumb, and specify tempered or laminated safety glass to meet code and reduce flex. You choose frameless enclosures for less hardware and effortless maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for distinct edges and budget control.

We design door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to suit tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron glass improves clarity; protective treatments minimize spotting. For style and privacy, we offer patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mildew-resistant silicone, establish even reveals, and regulate sweep compression to eliminate leaks. Your enclosure fits perfectly, works flawlessly, and endures.

Rapid Restoration Work, Urgent Board‑Ups, and Security Standards

When glass is broken, you require a swift, protected response that reinforces the opening and protects individuals and property. We arrive equipped with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and measured panels to secure the premises. After securing the zone, we remove loose shards, document the scene, and install rigid board‑ups or Temporary glazing to restore weather protection, security, and climate control.

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, 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.

Navigating Permits, Codes, and HOA Requirements

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

We provide transparent Code updates concerning glass placement and opening sizes. Ahead of 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. Once we receive approval, we file permits for your records and future resale.

Selecting the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties

Prior to ordering any single pane, we pair glass types and hardware to your property's exposures, safety zones, and performance requirements. We designate tempered or laminated safety glazing where code mandates, then calibrate U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and clear views, Low‑iron glass offers true color; for privacy, we provide acid‑etched or switchable solutions. In wet zones, we specify corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then coordinate 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 will know exactly what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We register warranties, offer care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, protecting your investment and safety in the long run.
