Need reliable 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 field‑measure and fabricate code‑compliant tempered and laminated shower glass, engineer hinges and clearances, and seal for leak‑free service. Rely on fast, safe board‑ups, precise replacements, and storm damage triage. We manage permits, HOA, inspections, and warranties end‑to‑end, specifying hardware and finishes that last. Read on to see how we take care of every detail.

Energy-Efficient Window Replacement and Upgrades
Even though your current windows seem fine, energy‑efficient replacements can reduce heat loss, lower utility bills, and boost comfort without compromising 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 assess orientation, local climate, and code requirements to specify glazing that fulfills ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.
Window framing enhancements matter as much as glass. 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 integrate units with your weather barrier, preserving structure and occupants. You'll get clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties matching manufacturer specifications.
Tailored Shower Installations and Glass Features
While upgrading your home's glass, custom shower enclosures offer precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance customized for your space. We field-measure openings, confirm wall plumb, and designate tempered or laminated safety glass to comply with regulations and reduce flex. You pick frameless enclosures for less hardware and easy maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for distinct edges and budget control.
We calculate door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to suit tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron panels enhance clarity; protective coatings reduce spotting. For visual appeal and privacy, we offer patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with anti-mold silicone, establish even reveals, and fine-tune sweep compression to stop leaks. Your enclosure fits perfectly, works flawlessly, and endures.
Fast Fix Services, Immediate Board‑Ups, and Safety Standards
When glass breaks, you need a rapid, safe response that stabilizes the gap and protects people and property. We arrive outfitted with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and pre-cut panels to safeguard the area. After containing the space, we eliminate loose shards, document conditions, and install rigid boarding or temporary 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 laminated, tempered, or insulated glass matched to performance specs. We anchor boards to structural members only, protect 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.
Managing HOA Requirements, Permits, and Codes
Since code compliance protects safety and resale value, we initiate your project by determining the exact approvals your address needs: city permits, energy codes (WA State Energy Code), safety glazing requirements (tempered/laminated near doors, wet areas, and low sills), egress dimensions, and wind/seismic standards. We verify scope, assign responsibilities, and set permit timelines so you know when work commences and inspections occur. We oversee submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design elements with community standards to eliminate delays.
We deliver transparent Code updates affecting glass placement and opening sizes. Prior to installation, we perform verification checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. During work, we preserve jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Following approval, we store permits for your records and future resale.
Choosing 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 goals. We designate tempered or laminated safety glazing where code requires, then optimize U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and sharp views, Low‑iron glass provides true color; for privacy, we provide acid‑etched or switchable solutions. In wet zones, we choose corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then match Hardware finishes with your fixtures for cohesion and durability.
We catalog spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to maintain warranty integrity. You'll know what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We document warranties, supply care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, safeguarding your investment and safety over the long term.
