Need trusted Burien residential glass specialists? We provide ENERGY STAR‑targeted window replacements with Low‑E, gas fills, warm‑edge spacers, and insulated frames, fitted 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 operation. Count 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.

Energy-Saving Window Replacement and Improvement
Even if your current windows appear adequate, energy‑efficient replacements can reduce heat loss, reduce utility bills, and improve comfort without compromising safety. You'll obtain measurable performance by combining Low‑E upgrades with gas fills and warm‑edge spacers to reduce 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.
The framing around your windows is just as critical as the glass itself. We recommend insulated vinyl, fiberglass, or thermally broken aluminum frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to stop air leakage and condensation. Appropriate anchoring, shims, and flashing integrate units with your weather barrier, protecting structure and occupants. You'll receive clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties consistent with manufacturer specifications.
Tailored Shower Surrounds and Glass Elements
While upgrading your home's glass, custom shower enclosures deliver precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance tailored to your space. We field-measure openings, verify wall plumb, and select tempered or laminated safety glass to satisfy building codes and reduce flex. You choose frameless enclosures for less hardware and easy maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for distinct edges and budget control.
We plan door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to match tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron glass improves clarity; protective treatments minimize spotting. For aesthetics and privacy, we feature patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mold-inhibiting silicone, establish even reveals, and adjust sweep compression to eliminate leaks. Your enclosure performs, fits, and lasts.
Fast Restoration Work, Urgent Board‑Ups, and Security Standards
When glass shatters, you require a swift, protected response that stabilizes the opening and shields people and belongings. We come prepared with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and pre-cut panels to secure the site. After securing the zone, we extract loose fragments, assess 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, website 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, pet/child zones, and alarm sensors. You leave with a stabilized opening and a confirmed follow‑up plan.
Navigating Permits, Building Codes, and HOA Regulations
Because code compliance protects safety and resale value, we begin your project by determining 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 standards. We establish scope, assign responsibilities, and establish permit timelines so you know when work begins and inspections occur. We oversee submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design specifications with community standards to avoid delays.
You'll receive detailed Code updates concerning glass placement and opening dimensions. Ahead of installation, we run Inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. Throughout work, we maintain jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Upon approval, we maintain permits for your records and future resale.
Picking 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 requirements. We specify tempered or laminated safety glazing where code requires, then optimize U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and clear views, Low‑iron glass delivers true color; for privacy, we provide acid‑etched or switchable solutions. In wet zones, we specify corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then coordinate Hardware finishes with your fixtures for cohesion and durability.
We log 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 file warranties, supply care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, protecting your investment and safety for the long haul.
Questions & Answers
