Need reliable Burien residential glass specialists? You'll receive ENERGY STAR‑targeted window replacements with Low‑E, gas fills, warm‑edge spacers, and insulated frames, installed with proper flashing, foam, and backer rod. We take precise measurements and fabricate code‑compliant tempered/laminated shower glass, engineer hinges and clearances, and seal for leak‑free operation. Expect 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. Read on to see how we take care of every detail.

- Superior materials with warranty coverage: insulated frames, corrosion-resistant hardware, documented specs, registered coverage, and scheduled care follow-ups.
Energy-Efficient Window Replacement and Upgrades
While your current windows appear adequate, energy‑efficient replacements can cut heat loss, decrease utility bills, and boost comfort without jeopardizing 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 compromising visible light. We assess 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 recommend insulated vinyl, thermally broken aluminum, or fiberglass frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to stop air leakage and condensation. Proper anchoring, shims, and flashing incorporate units with your weather barrier, preserving both structure and occupants. You'll receive clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties matching manufacturer specifications.
Personalized Shower Enclosures and Glass Features
While you're upgrading your home's glass, custom shower enclosures deliver precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance customized for your space. We take precise measurements of openings, confirm wall plumb, and specify tempered or laminated safety glass to satisfy building codes and limit flex. You choose frameless enclosures for reduced hardware and simple maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for clear edges and budget control.
We engineer door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to fit tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron panels increase transparency; protective treatments minimize spotting. For visual appeal and privacy, we feature patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with anti-mold silicone, ensure even reveals, and adjust sweep compression to eliminate leaks. Your enclosure performs, fits, and lasts.
Rapid Repair Services, Immediate Board‑Ups, and Protection Standards
If glass breaks, you need a fast, safe solution that reinforces the opening and protects individuals and property. We arrive outfitted with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and fitted panels to protect the location. After cordoning off the area, we remove loose shards, assess conditions, and install rigid boarding or temporary glazing to restore weather, security, and energy 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, maintain drainage paths, and label hazards. Our technicians verify safe egress, child/pet zones, and alarm sensors. You leave with a stabilized opening and a confirmed follow‑up plan.
Understanding Codes, Permits, and HOA Requirements
As code compliance safeguards safety and resale value, we initiate your project by identifying 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 standards. We verify scope, assign responsibilities, and establish Permit timelines so you know when work begins and inspections happen. We process submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design specifications with community standards to minimize delays.
You'll get transparent Code updates related to glass placement and opening measurements. Before installation, we conduct inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. In the course of work, we copyright jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Following approval, we archive permits for your records and future resale.
Selecting the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Before we order a single pane, we align glass types and hardware to your property's exposures, safety zones, and performance requirements. We designate tempered or laminated safety glazing where code requires, then calibrate U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and crisp views, Low‑iron glass offers true color; for privacy, we provide acid‑etched or switchable solutions. 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 maintain warranty integrity. You will know exactly what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We record warranties, provide care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, protecting your investment and safety for the long haul.
