Need dependable Burien residential glass professionals? 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 field‑measure and fabricate code‑compliant tempered and laminated shower glass, engineer hinges and clearances, and seal for leak‑free performance. 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.

- Superior materials with warranty coverage: insulated frames, corrosion-resistant hardware, documented specs, registered coverage, and scheduled care follow-ups.
Energy-Efficient Window Upgrades and Replacement
Even if your current windows look satisfactory, energy‑efficient replacements can decrease heat loss, decrease 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 compromising visible light. We analyze orientation, local climate, and code requirements to specify glazing that fulfills ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.
Glass is only part of the equation—window framing enhancements are equally important. We suggest 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 integrate units with your weather barrier, protecting occupants and structure. We provide clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties matching manufacturer specifications.
Tailored Shower Systems and Glass Components
As you upgrade your home's glass, custom shower enclosures deliver precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance tailored to your space. We take precise measurements of openings, confirm wall plumb, and specify tempered or laminated safety glass to comply with regulations and reduce flex. You select frameless enclosures for reduced hardware and simple maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for defined edges and budget control.
We plan door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to match tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron panels increase transparency; protective finishes prevent spotting. For privacy and style, we feature patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mildew-resistant silicone, create even reveals, and fine-tune sweep compression to prevent leaks. Your enclosure functions, fits, and endures.
Swift Repairs, Emergency Board‑Ups, and Protection Standards
When glass breaks, you need a rapid, safe response that reinforces the opening and protects people and property. We come prepared with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and measured panels to secure the site. After cordoning off the area, we clear loose pieces, document conditions, and install solid board-ups or temporary glass 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 tempered, laminated, 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, pet/child 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 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 standards (tempered/laminated near doors, wet areas, and low sills), egress dimensions, and wind/seismic requirements. We validate scope, assign responsibilities, and provide 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 prevent delays.
You'll receive clear Code updates concerning glass placement and opening sizes. Before installation, we conduct inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. In the course of work, we maintain jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Upon approval, we store permits for your records and future resale.
Selecting the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Prior to ordering any single pane, we match glass types and hardware to your property'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 delivers true color; for privacy, we supply acid‑etched or switchable alternatives. In wet zones, we specify corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then align Hardware finishes with your fixtures for lasting durability and visual cohesion.
We log spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to guarantee warranty integrity. You'll understand what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We file warranties, deliver care protocols, website and schedule follow‑ups, preserving your investment and safety in the long run.
