Looking for trusted Burien residential glass specialists? 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 field‑measure and fabricate code‑compliant tempered/laminated shower glass, engineer hinges and clearances, and seal for leak‑free service. 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 manage every detail.

- Superior materials with warranty coverage: insulated frames, corrosion-resistant hardware, documented specs, registered coverage, and scheduled care follow-ups.
Energy-Saving Window Replacement and Upgrades
Even if your current windows appear adequate, energy‑efficient replacements can decrease heat loss, reduce utility bills, and improve comfort without jeopardizing safety. You'll achieve measurable performance by combining Low‑E upgrades with gas fills and warm‑edge spacers to minimize 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.
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 prevent air leakage and condensation. Correct anchoring, shims, and flashing incorporate units with your weather barrier, preserving both structure and occupants. We provide clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties matching manufacturer specifications.
Bespoke Shower Enclosures 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, verify wall plumb, and specify tempered or laminated safety glass to satisfy building codes and limit flex. You choose frameless enclosures for less hardware and easy maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for distinct edges and budget control.
We design 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 aesthetics and privacy, we include patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mold-resistant silicone, establish even reveals, and regulate sweep compression to avoid water leakage. Your enclosure fits, functions, and lasts.
Swift Repair Services, Urgent Board‑Ups, and Protection Standards
When glass is broken, you require a swift, protected response that stabilizes the opening and protects people and property. We show up equipped with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and measured panels to secure the site. After containing the space, we extract loose fragments, document the scene, and install rigid boarding or temporary glazing to restore weather, security, and energy control.
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 insulated, tempered, or laminated 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 HOA Requirements, Permits, and Codes
Since code compliance protects safety and resale value, we commence your project by identifying the exact approvals your address demands: city permits, energy codes (Washington State Energy Code), safety glazing regulations (tempered/laminated near doors, wet areas, and low sills), egress dimensions, and wind/seismic criteria. We verify scope, assign responsibilities, and establish Permit timelines so you know when work commences and inspections take place. We handle submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design details with community standards to avoid delays.
We provide comprehensive Code updates related to glass placement and opening dimensions. Before installation, we conduct inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. During work, we maintain jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Upon approval, we archive permits for your records and future resale.
Choosing the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Before we order a single pane, we match glass types and hardware to your residence's exposures, safety zones, and performance objectives. We select tempered or laminated safety glazing where code demands, then fine-tune U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and sharp views, Low‑iron glass delivers true color; for privacy, we offer acid‑etched or switchable solutions. In wet zones, we specify 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 protect warranty integrity. You'll understand what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We register warranties, offer care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, protecting your investment and safety over the long term.
