Looking for dependable Burien residential glass specialists? You'll get 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 measure on‑site and fabricate code‑compliant tempered/laminated shower glass, engineer hinges and clearances, and seal for leak‑free performance. Expect 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.
Main Points

- High-quality materials and comprehensive warranties: thermally insulated frames, corrosion-proof hardware, detailed specifications, registered protection plans, and scheduled service check-ins.
Energy-Saving Window Replacement and Upgrades
Even if your current windows seem fine, energy‑efficient replacements can reduce heat loss, reduce utility bills, and enhance comfort without compromising safety. You'll obtain 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 analyze orientation, local climate, and code requirements to specify glazing that satisfies ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.
The framing around your windows is just as critical as the glass itself. We advise 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 connect units with your weather barrier, safeguarding occupants and structure. We provide clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties matching manufacturer specifications.
Tailored Shower Surrounds and Glass Features
As you upgrade your home's glass, custom shower enclosures provide precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance designed for your space. We field-measure openings, confirm wall plumb, and designate tempered or laminated safety glass to comply with regulations and minimize flex. You pick frameless enclosures for minimal hardware and effortless maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for defined edges and budget control.
We engineer door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to accommodate tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron glass enhances visual clarity; protective treatments minimize spotting. For visual appeal and privacy, we feature patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mold-resistant silicone, ensure even reveals, and calibrate sweep compression to eliminate leaks. Your enclosure fits perfectly, works flawlessly, and endures.
Quick Fix Services, Immediate Board‑Ups, and Protection Standards
If glass breaks, you need a swift, protected response that secures the breach and protects individuals and property. We arrive equipped with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and measured panels to secure the site. After cordoning off the area, we clear loose pieces, document the scene, and install solid board-ups or temporary glass to restore weather, security, and energy control.
You get 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, pet/child zones, and alarm sensors. You leave with a stabilized opening and a confirmed follow‑up plan.
Handling Codes, Permits, and HOA Requirements
As code compliance safeguards safety and resale value, we initiate your project by outlining the exact approvals your address demands: city permits, energy codes (Washington State Energy Code), safety glazing rules (tempered/laminated near doors, wet areas, and low sills), egress dimensions, and wind/seismic requirements. We verify scope, assign responsibilities, and establish Permit timelines so you know when work starts and inspections occur. We process submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design components with community standards to avoid delays.
You'll get transparent Code updates affecting glass placement and opening dimensions. Prior to installation, we execute Inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. During work, we preserve jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Following approval, we file permits for your records and future resale.
Picking the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Before ordering a single pane, we match glass types and hardware to your home's exposures, safety zones, and performance requirements. We select tempered or laminated safety glazing where code demands, then calibrate 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 options. In wet zones, we specify corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then coordinate Hardware finishes with your fixtures for durability and cohesion.
We catalog 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 record warranties, offer care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, securing your investment and safety in the long run.
