Searching for trusted Burien residential glass experts? 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/laminated 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-Efficient Window Replacement and Upgrades
Even though your current windows appear adequate, energy‑efficient replacements can reduce heat loss, decrease utility bills, and enhance comfort without compromising 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 fulfills ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.
Window framing enhancements matter as much as glass. We suggest insulated vinyl, fiberglass, or thermally broken aluminum frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to stop air leakage and condensation. Correct anchoring, shims, and flashing connect units with your weather barrier, safeguarding occupants and structure. You'll receive clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties aligned with manufacturer specifications.
Custom Shower Surrounds and Glass Elements
As you upgrade your home's glass, custom shower enclosures provide precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance customized for your space. We take precise measurements of openings, verify wall plumb, and select tempered or laminated safety glass to meet code and minimize flex. You select frameless enclosures for reduced hardware and effortless maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for defined edges and budget control.
We plan door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to fit tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron panels increase transparency; protective coatings reduce spotting. For aesthetics and privacy, we feature patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mold-inhibiting silicone, ensure even reveals, and regulate sweep compression to eliminate leaks. Your enclosure fits perfectly, works flawlessly, and endures.
Quick Restoration Work, Immediate Board‑Ups, and Safety Standards
When glass shatters, you require a quick, secure response that stabilizes the gap and shields people and belongings. We show up equipped with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and fitted panels to safeguard the area. After isolating the area, we clear loose pieces, record the situation, and install rigid boarding 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, maintain 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.
Understanding HOA Requirements, Permits, and Codes
Because code compliance protects safety and resale value, we initiate your project by mapping the exact approvals your address demands: city permits, energy codes (Washington State Energy Code), safety glazing standards (tempered/laminated near doors, wet areas, and low sills), egress dimensions, and wind/seismic criteria. We verify scope, assign responsibilities, and set Permit timelines so you know when work commences and inspections take place. We process submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design details with community standards to minimize delays.
You'll get clear Code updates impacting glass placement and opening dimensions. Before installation, we execute Inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. While performing work, we ensure jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Upon approval, we archive permits for your records and future resale.
Selecting the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Before ordering a single pane, we match glass types and hardware to your property's exposures, safety zones, and performance objectives. We designate tempered or laminated safety glazing where code requires, then optimize U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and sharp views, Low‑iron glass provides true color; for privacy, we offer acid‑etched or switchable solutions. In wet zones, we select 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 ensure warranty integrity. You will know exactly what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We register warranties, deliver care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, protecting your investment and safety for the long haul.
