Searching for dependable Burien residential glass experts? You'll get 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 safety‑rated shower glass, engineer hinges and clearances, and seal for leak‑free performance. 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 handle every detail.

Energy-Saving Window Upgrades and Replacement
Even if your current windows appear adequate, energy‑efficient replacements can decrease heat loss, reduce utility bills, and enhance comfort without sacrificing 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 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 suggest insulated vinyl, thermally broken aluminum, or fiberglass frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to eliminate air leakage and condensation. Proper anchoring, shims, and flashing connect units with your weather barrier, safeguarding structure and occupants. You'll receive clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties aligned with manufacturer specifications.
Bespoke Shower Enclosures and Glass Accents
As you upgrade your home's glass, custom shower enclosures deliver 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 meet code and limit flex. You pick frameless enclosures for minimal hardware and simple 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 enhance clarity; protective coatings limit water spots. For style and privacy, we include patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mildew-resistant silicone, create even reveals, and adjust sweep compression to prevent leaks. Your enclosure performs, fits, and lasts.
Fast Restoration Work, Emergency Board‑Ups, and Security Standards
When glass breaks, you need a quick, secure response that stabilizes the gap and shields people and belongings. We arrive equipped with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and fitted panels to protect the location. After cordoning off the area, we clear loose pieces, record the situation, and install rigid board‑ups or Temporary glazing to restore weatherproofing, safety, and energy efficiency.
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, 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 requires: 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 requirements. We establish scope, assign responsibilities, and establish permit timelines so you know when work commences and inspections happen. We handle submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design details with community standards to avoid delays.
You'll receive detailed Code updates concerning glass placement and opening sizes. Ahead of installation, we perform Inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. In the course of work, we preserve jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Upon approval, we file permits for your records and future resale.
Selecting the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Before ordering a single pane, we align glass types and hardware to your residence's exposures, safety zones, and performance objectives. We designate tempered or laminated safety glazing where code mandates, then fine-tune U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and crisp views, Low‑iron glass delivers true color; for privacy, we provide acid‑etched or switchable solutions. In wet zones, we select corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then coordinate Hardware finishes with your fixtures for cohesion and durability.
We record spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to guarantee warranty integrity. You'll be informed about what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We record warranties, offer care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, preserving your investment and safety for the long haul.
