Need trusted Burien residential glass experts? You'll receive ENERGY STAR‑targeted window replacements with Low‑E, gas fills, warm‑edge spacers, and insulated frames, fitted with proper flashing, foam, and backer rod. We measure on‑site and fabricate code‑compliant safety‑rated shower glass, engineer hinges and clearances, and seal for leak‑free operation. Count on fast, safe board‑ups, precise replacements, and storm damage triage. We oversee permits, HOA, inspections, and warranties end‑to‑end, specifying hardware and finishes that last. Continue reading to see how we handle every detail.

Energy-Efficient Window Replacement and Improvement
Even if your current windows seem fine, energy‑efficient replacements can decrease heat loss, reduce utility bills, and boost comfort without compromising safety. You'll obtain measurable performance by combining Low‑E upgrades with gas fills and warm‑edge spacers to lower U‑factor and solar heat gain without compromising visible light. We analyze orientation, local climate, and code requirements to specify glazing that satisfies ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.
The framing around your windows is just as critical as the glass itself. We suggest insulated fiberglass, vinyl, or thermally broken aluminum frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to eliminate air leakage and condensation. Proper anchoring, shims, and flashing incorporate units with your weather barrier, protecting structure and occupants. You'll get clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties matching manufacturer specifications.
Personalized Shower Systems and Glass Accents
As you upgrade your home's glass, custom shower enclosures provide precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance customized for your space. We field-measure openings, confirm wall plumb, and select tempered or laminated safety glass to meet code and minimize flex. You select frameless enclosures for less hardware and effortless maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for distinct edges and budget control.
We design door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to accommodate tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron panels increase transparency; protective treatments minimize spotting. For visual appeal and privacy, we include patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mold-resistant silicone, set even reveals, and regulate sweep compression to eliminate leaks. Your enclosure functions, fits, and endures.
Quick Fix Services, Critical Board‑Ups, and Security Standards
If glass breaks, you need a swift, protected response that reinforces the opening and shields people and belongings. We arrive outfitted with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and pre-cut panels to secure the premises. After cordoning off the area, we remove loose shards, document the scene, and install solid board-ups or temporary glass to restore weather protection, security, and climate control.
We provide you with 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 laminated, tempered, or insulated glass matched to performance specs. We anchor boards to structural members only, preserve drainage paths, and label hazards. Our technicians verify safe egress, here pet/child zones, and alarm sensors. You leave with a stabilized opening and a confirmed follow‑up plan.
Managing Permits, Codes, and HOA Requirements
Since code compliance safeguards safety and resale value, we start your project by outlining the exact approvals your address requires: 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 criteria. We verify scope, assign responsibilities, and provide permit timelines so you know when work begins and inspections take place. We handle submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design specifications with community standards to avoid delays.
We deliver comprehensive Code updates affecting glass placement and opening dimensions. Ahead of installation, we execute Inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. During work, we maintain jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Following approval, we file permits for your records and future resale.
Selecting the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Prior to ordering any single pane, we match glass types and hardware to your property's exposures, safety zones, and performance objectives. We designate tempered or laminated safety glazing where code mandates, then optimize U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and clear views, Low‑iron glass provides true color; for privacy, we offer acid‑etched or switchable alternatives. In wet zones, we choose corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then align Hardware finishes with your fixtures for durability and cohesion.
We record 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 record warranties, supply care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, preserving your investment and safety in the long run.
