Searching for trusted Burien residential glass professionals? You'll receive 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 field‑measure and fabricate code‑compliant safety‑rated shower glass, engineer hinges and clearances, and seal for leak‑free service. Expect 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.

- Quality materials and warranties: insulated frames, corrosion-resistant hardware, documented specs, registered coverage, and scheduled care follow-ups.
High-Efficiency Window Replacement and Upgrades
Even if your current windows appear adequate, energy‑efficient replacements can decrease heat loss, decrease utility bills, and improve comfort without jeopardizing safety. You'll obtain 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.
Window framing enhancements matter as much as glass. We recommend insulated vinyl, thermally broken aluminum, or fiberglass 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, preserving both structure and occupants. You'll get clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties aligned with manufacturer specifications.
Custom Shower Systems and Glass Accents
While upgrading your home's glass, custom shower enclosures provide precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance tailored to your space. We field-measure openings, confirm wall plumb, and select tempered or laminated safety glass to meet code and minimize flex. You choose frameless enclosures for minimal hardware and simple maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for defined edges and budget control.
We calculate door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to suit tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron panels increase transparency; 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, create even reveals, and fine-tune sweep compression to eliminate leaks. Your enclosure fits perfectly, works flawlessly, and endures.
Rapid Repair Services, Critical Board‑Ups, and Protection Standards
If glass breaks, you need a swift, protected response that stabilizes the gap and protects people and property. We arrive outfitted with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and fitted panels to protect the location. After isolating the area, we remove loose shards, assess conditions, 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 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, child/pet zones, and alarm sensors. You leave with a stabilized opening and a confirmed follow‑up plan.
Navigating Building Permits, Codes, and HOA Rules
Since 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 requirements (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 begins and inspections happen. We oversee submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design specifications with community standards to prevent delays.
We provide comprehensive Code updates concerning glass placement and opening sizes. Prior to installation, we run Inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. In the course of work, we copyright jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Upon approval, we store permits for your records and future resale.
Choosing the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Before we order a single pane, we pair glass types and hardware to your residence's exposures, safety zones, and performance requirements. 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 delivers true color; for privacy, we provide acid‑etched or switchable options. In wet zones, we select corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then coordinate Hardware finishes with your fixtures for cohesion and durability.
We catalog spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to guarantee warranty integrity. You'll know what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We record warranties, offer care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, protecting your investment and safety for the long haul.
