Energy-Saving Window Replacement and Upgrades
Even if your current windows look satisfactory, energy‑efficient replacements can decrease heat loss, decrease utility bills, and improve comfort without sacrificing 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 analyze orientation, local climate, and code requirements to specify glazing that meets ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.
The framing around your windows is just as critical as the glass itself. We suggest insulated vinyl, fiberglass, or thermally broken aluminum frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to stop air leakage and condensation. Appropriate anchoring, shims, and flashing integrate units with your weather barrier, protecting occupants and structure.

You choose frameless enclosures for reduced hardware and effortless maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for clear edges and budget control.
We calculate door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to suit tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron panels increase transparency; protective coatings reduce spotting. For privacy and style, we provide patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds.

Fast Fix Services, Urgent Board‑Ups, and Security Standards

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, preserve 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 HOA Requirements, Permits, and Codes

We verify scope, assign responsibilities, and set permit timelines so you know when work begins and inspections take place. We manage submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design details with community standards to prevent delays.
We deliver comprehensive Code updates affecting glass placement and opening dimensions. Ahead of installation, we execute verification checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. During work, we preserve jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Following approval, we file permits for your records and future resale.
Selecting the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Before ordering a single pane, we pair glass types and hardware to your residence's exposures, safety zones, and performance requirements. We designate tempered or laminated safety glazing where code demands, then optimize U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and crisp views, Low‑iron glass provides true color; for privacy, we offer acid‑etched or switchable solutions. In wet zones, we specify corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then align Hardware finishes with your fixtures for lasting durability and visual cohesion.
We log spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to protect warranty integrity. You'll know what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We record warranties, offer care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, securing your investment and safety in the long run.
