• High-quality materials and comprehensive warranties: thermally insulated frames, corrosion-proof hardware, detailed specifications, registered protection plans, and scheduled service check-ins.

Energy-Efficient Window Replacement and Improvement

While your current windows seem fine, energy‑efficient replacements can cut heat loss, lower utility bills, and boost comfort without sacrificing safety. You'll gain 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.

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

Custom Shower Systems and Glass Components

When you're enhancing your home's glass, custom shower enclosures offer precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance designed for your space. We field-measure openings, verify wall plumb, and specify tempered or laminated safety glass to comply with regulations and reduce flex. You pick frameless enclosures for minimal hardware and simple maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for defined 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 coatings reduce spotting. For visual appeal and privacy, we include 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 stop leaks. Your enclosure performs, fits, and lasts.

Swift Repairs, Immediate Board‑Ups, and Safety Standards

When glass breaks, you need a quick, secure response that stabilizes the opening and protects people and property. We come prepared with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and fitted panels to secure the premises. After isolating the area, we eliminate loose shards, document conditions, and install sturdy board-ups or interim glazing to restore weather resistance, security, and thermal 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 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, child/pet zones, and alarm sensors. You leave with a stabilized opening and a confirmed follow‑up plan.

Understanding Codes, Permits, and HOA Requirements

As code compliance ensures safety and resale value, we initiate your project by determining the exact approvals your address demands: city permits, energy codes (Washington State Energy Code), safety glazing rules (tempered/laminated near doors, wet areas, and low sills), egress dimensions, and wind/seismic requirements. We confirm scope, assign responsibilities, and provide Permit timelines so you know when work commences and inspections take place. We oversee submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design details with community standards to prevent delays.

We provide comprehensive Code updates affecting glass placement and opening measurements. Ahead of installation, we run verification 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 archive 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 property's exposures, safety zones, and performance requirements. We select tempered or laminated safety glazing where code requires, then calibrate 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 solutions. In wet zones, we select 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 ensure warranty integrity. You'll understand what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We register warranties, provide care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, safeguarding your investment and safety over the long term.
