High-Efficiency Window Replacement and Improvement
Even though your current windows seem fine, energy‑efficient replacements can cut heat loss, lower utility bills, and improve comfort without sacrificing 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 losing 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 fiberglass, vinyl, or thermally broken aluminum frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to prevent air leakage and condensation. Proper anchoring, shims, and flashing connect units with your weather barrier, protecting both structure and occupants. You'll receive clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties consistent with manufacturer specifications.

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.
Understanding Permits, Building Codes, and HOA Regulations
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 standards (tempered/laminated near doors, wet areas, and low sills), egress dimensions, and wind/seismic standards. We verify scope, assign responsibilities, and publish permit timelines so you know when work begins and inspections occur. We manage submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design details with community standards to eliminate delays.
You'll get transparent Code updates affecting glass placement and opening measurements. Ahead of installation, we execute verification checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. While performing work, we ensure jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. After approval, we maintain permits for your records and future resale.
Choosing the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Prior to ordering any single pane, we match glass types and hardware to your residence's exposures, safety zones, and performance goals. We select tempered or laminated safety glazing where code demands, then fine-tune U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and clear views, Low‑iron glass provides true color; for privacy, we supply acid‑etched or switchable options. In wet zones, we choose 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 guarantee warranty integrity. You'll be informed about what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We register warranties, provide care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, securing your investment and safety long‑term.
