Need dependable Burien residential glass professionals? We provide ENERGY STAR‑targeted window replacements with Low‑E, gas fills, warm‑edge spacers, and insulated frames, set up with proper flashing, foam, and backer rod. We measure on‑site and fabricate code‑compliant tempered and laminated shower glass, engineer hinges and clearances, and seal for leak‑free operation. 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.

High-Efficiency Window Upgrades and Replacement
Even though your current windows look satisfactory, energy‑efficient replacements can cut 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 lower 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.
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 stop air leakage and condensation. Appropriate anchoring, shims, and flashing incorporate units with your weather barrier, safeguarding both structure and occupants. You'll receive clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties consistent with manufacturer specifications.
Personalized Shower Systems and Glass Elements
While you're upgrading your home's glass, custom shower enclosures offer precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance designed for your space. We take precise measurements of openings, check wall plumb, and designate tempered or laminated safety glass to meet code and minimize flex. You choose frameless enclosures for minimal hardware and easy maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for defined edges and budget control.
We engineer door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to match tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron glass enhances visual clarity; protective coatings reduce spotting. For aesthetics and privacy, we offer patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mold-inhibiting silicone, set even reveals, and adjust sweep compression to prevent leaks. Your enclosure functions, fits, and endures.
Fast Fix Services, Critical Board‑Ups, and Protection Standards
When glass breaks, you need a quick, secure response that stabilizes the opening and safeguards occupants and assets. 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 conditions, and install solid board-ups or temporary glass to restore weather protection, security, and climate 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 insulated, tempered, or laminated 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 Permits, Codes, and HOA Requirements
As code compliance protects safety and resale value, we commence your project by outlining the exact approvals your address needs: city permits, energy codes (Washington State Energy Code), safety glazing standards (tempered/laminated near doors, wet areas, and low sills), egress dimensions, and wind/seismic criteria. We confirm scope, assign responsibilities, and publish Permit timelines so you know when work commences and inspections happen. We process submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design components with community standards to minimize delays.
We deliver comprehensive Code updates concerning glass placement and opening measurements. Ahead of installation, we conduct Inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. While performing work, we preserve jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. After approval, we store permits for your records and future resale.
Selecting the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Before we order a single pane, we match glass types and hardware to your home's exposures, safety zones, and performance goals. We select tempered or laminated safety glazing where code requires, then calibrate U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and sharp views, Low‑iron glass offers true color; for privacy, we provide acid‑etched or switchable solutions. In wet zones, we select corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then align Hardware finishes with your fixtures for cohesion and durability.
We log 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 file warranties, provide care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, securing your investment and safety in the long run.
