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, set up with proper flashing, foam, and backer rod. We take precise measurements and fabricate code‑compliant safety‑rated shower glass, engineer hinges and clearances, and seal for leak‑free performance. 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. Read on to see how we take care of every detail.

Energy-Saving Window Replacement and Improvement
Even if your current windows seem fine, energy‑efficient replacements can decrease heat loss, decrease utility bills, and enhance comfort without compromising safety. You'll achieve measurable performance by combining Low‑E upgrades with gas fills and warm‑edge spacers to lower U‑factor and solar heat gain without sacrificing visible light. We assess 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 advise insulated vinyl, fiberglass, or thermally broken aluminum 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, protecting structure and occupants. You'll get clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties matching manufacturer specifications.
Personalized Shower Surrounds and Glass Features
When you're enhancing your home's glass, custom shower enclosures offer precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance customized for your space. We carefully measure openings, check wall plumb, and designate tempered or laminated safety glass to satisfy building codes and minimize flex. You pick frameless enclosures for minimal hardware and effortless maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for clear edges and budget control.
We plan 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 visual appeal and privacy, we include patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mold-inhibiting silicone, create even reveals, and adjust sweep compression to eliminate leaks. Your enclosure fits, functions, and lasts.
Fast Repairs, Urgent Board‑Ups, and Protection Standards
If glass breaks, you need a fast, safe solution that reinforces the opening and protects people and property. We show up equipped with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and fitted panels to secure the premises. After securing the zone, we clear loose pieces, assess conditions, and install solid board-ups or temporary glass to restore weather resistance, security, and thermal control.
You get 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 tempered, laminated, 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, child/pet zones, and alarm sensors. You leave with a stabilized opening and a confirmed follow‑up plan.
Navigating Codes, Permits, and HOA Requirements
Because code compliance ensures safety and resale value, we start your project by determining the exact approvals your address needs: city permits, energy codes (Washington State Energy Code), safety glazing rules (tempered/laminated near doors, wet areas, and low sills), egress dimensions, and wind/seismic standards. We validate scope, assign responsibilities, and publish Permit timelines so you know when work begins and inspections happen. We handle submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design specifications with community standards to minimize delays.
You'll get clear Code updates related to glass placement and opening dimensions. Prior to installation, we perform verification checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. In the course of work, we maintain jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. After approval, we archive permits for your records and future resale.
Picking 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 mandates, then optimize U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and clear views, Low‑iron glass delivers true color; for privacy, we supply acid‑etched or switchable options. In wet zones, we select corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then match Hardware finishes with your fixtures for cohesion and durability.
We record spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to ensure warranty integrity. You'll know what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We register warranties, offer care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, safeguarding your investment and safety in the long run.
