Looking for dependable Burien residential glass professionals? You'll get 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 measure on‑site 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 handle permits, HOA, inspections, and warranties end‑to‑end, specifying hardware and finishes that last. Read on to see how we handle every detail.

- Quality materials and warranties: insulated frame systems, corrosion-resistant components, documented specifications, registered warranty protection, and scheduled maintenance visits.
Energy-Saving Window Replacement and Improvement
Even if your current windows appear adequate, energy‑efficient replacements can cut heat loss, decrease utility bills, and improve comfort without compromising safety. You'll achieve 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 meets ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.
Glass is only part of the equation—window framing enhancements are equally important. We recommend insulated vinyl, thermally broken aluminum, or fiberglass 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, protecting occupants and structure. You'll receive clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties aligned with manufacturer specifications.
Custom Shower Installations and Glass Accents
While you're upgrading your home's glass, custom shower enclosures deliver precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance tailored to your space. We field-measure openings, check wall plumb, and select tempered or laminated safety glass to comply with regulations and limit flex. You pick frameless enclosures for minimal hardware and effortless maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for defined edges and budget control.
We calculate door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to accommodate tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron glass improves clarity; protective treatments minimize spotting. For style and privacy, we provide patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mold-resistant silicone, set even reveals, and calibrate sweep compression to prevent leaks. Your enclosure fits, functions, and lasts.
Rapid Restoration Work, Urgent Board‑Ups, and Safety Standards
When glass is broken, you require a rapid, safe response that secures the breach and protects individuals and property. We come prepared with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and custom-sized panels to protect the location. After isolating the area, we eliminate loose shards, document conditions, and install solid board-ups or temporary glass to restore weatherproofing, safety, and energy efficiency.
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 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.
Navigating Codes, Permits, and HOA Requirements
As code compliance safeguards safety and resale value, we start your project by mapping the exact approvals your address needs: 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 publish Permit timelines so you know when work begins and inspections take place. We process submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design elements with community standards to minimize delays.
You'll get detailed Code updates impacting glass placement and opening measurements. Before installation, we execute verification checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. While performing work, we maintain jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Once we receive approval, we maintain 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 home's exposures, safety zones, and performance goals. We select tempered or laminated safety glazing where code requires, then optimize U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and crisp views, Low‑iron glass delivers true color; for privacy, we offer acid‑etched or switchable alternatives. In wet zones, we select corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then match Hardware finishes with your fixtures for cohesion and durability.
We record spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to ensure warranty integrity. You'll be informed about what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We register warranties, deliver care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, preserving your investment and safety over the long term.
