Key Takeaways

• Energy-efficient window replacements equipped with Low-E, gas fills, and warm-edge spacers complying with Burien ENERGY STAR and WA Energy Code standards.
• Custom frameless or semi-frameless shower enclosures, professionally measured, tempered/laminated, and crafted for water-tight, long-lasting performance.
• Quick repair services and emergency board-ups with proper shard cleanup, protected temporary glazing, and timely replacement scheduling.
• Complete permitting assistance: local permits, safety glazing, egress, seismic and wind criteria, HOA coordination, and inspection oversight.
• Superior materials with warranty coverage: insulated frame systems, corrosion-resistant components, documented specifications, registered warranty protection, and scheduled maintenance visits.

Energy-Saving Window Replacement and Improvement

While your current windows appear adequate, energy‑efficient replacements can cut heat loss, reduce utility bills, and boost comfort without jeopardizing safety. You'll obtain 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 evaluate orientation, local climate, and code requirements to specify glazing that satisfies ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.

Window framing enhancements matter as much as glass. We suggest insulated vinyl, thermally broken aluminum, or fiberglass 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, protecting both structure read more and occupants. You'll get clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties matching manufacturer specifications.

Personalized Shower Surrounds and Glass Accents

As you upgrade your home's glass, custom shower enclosures offer precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance designed for your space. We field-measure openings, confirm wall plumb, and specify tempered or laminated safety glass to satisfy building codes and reduce flex. You pick 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 accommodate tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron glass improves clarity; protective coatings reduce spotting. For aesthetics and privacy, we feature patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with anti-mold silicone, ensure even reveals, and regulate sweep compression to eliminate leaks. Your enclosure functions, fits, and endures.

Rapid Restoration Work, Immediate Board‑Ups, and Protection Standards

When glass is broken, you require a quick, secure response that secures the breach and protects individuals and property. We show up equipped with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and measured panels to secure the site. After cordoning off the area, we remove loose shards, document conditions, and install solid board-ups or temporary glass to restore weatherproofing, safety, and energy efficiency.

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, maintain 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 Permits, Building Codes, and HOA Regulations

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

We provide comprehensive Code updates affecting glass placement and opening sizes. Ahead of installation, we execute inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. In the course of work, we ensure jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Once we receive approval, we maintain 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 home's exposures, safety zones, and performance objectives. We specify tempered or laminated safety glazing where code mandates, then optimize U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and crisp views, Low‑iron glass provides true color; for privacy, we provide acid‑etched or switchable alternatives. In wet zones, we specify corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then coordinate Hardware finishes with your fixtures for cohesion and durability.

We document spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to protect warranty integrity. You'll understand what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We register warranties, deliver care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, protecting your investment and safety in the long run.
