Core Insights
High-Efficiency Window Installation for Every Room
Even before cold drafts arrive off Puget Sound, organize your energy-efficient window replacement for each room to reduce heat loss and manage glare. In living areas, choose double- or triple-pane IGUs with argon, warm-edge spacers, and spectrally selective low-e upgrades optimized for west-facing afternoon sun. For bedrooms, emphasize low SHGC on south and west elevations and quiet-laminate alternatives along Ambaum traffic. Kitchens require tempered units near ranges and high VT to sustain task lighting.
Bathrooms require privacy glass with rust-resistant hardware and sealed vapor seals. For basements, opt for composite frames to prevent moisture and meet egress standards. Evaluate attic glazing in skylights: laminated, curb-mounted, and low-e to minimize summer heat gain. In coastal areas, select DP-rated frames, stainless fasteners, and correctly flashed nail fins.
Custom Shower Enclosures That Upgrade Your Bathroom

You'll receive precise field measurements, tight reveals, and properly pitched sills to shed water. Frameless doors operate smoothly on self-centering hinges, with clearances set for steam retention and code-required egress.
Select patterned glass for privacy—rain, reeded, or satin-etch—without sacrificing light. We seal with mildew-proof silicone and continuous magnetic strikes to minimize leakage.

While your goals drive the scope, our process keeps it accurate and reliable. We start with an on-site Initial assessment anywhere in Burien—check openings, substrate, plumb, and ventilation.

Following this, we verify specifications, order safety glass, and complete schedule planning tied to supplier lead times and your schedule.
