Looking for trusted Burien residential glass experts? You'll get ENERGY STAR‑targeted window replacements with Low‑E, gas fills, warm‑edge spacers, and insulated frames, set up 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. 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.

- Speedy restoration and emergency board-ups with careful shard clearing, secure temporary glazing, and quick replacement scheduling.
- Full permitting services: local permits, safety glazing, egress, seismic and wind criteria, HOA coordination, and inspection coordination.
- Premium materials and warranty protection: thermally insulated frames, corrosion-proof hardware, detailed specifications, registered protection plans, and scheduled service check-ins.
High-Efficiency Window Replacement and Improvement
While your current windows seem fine, energy‑efficient replacements can cut heat loss, lower 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 reduce U‑factor and solar heat gain without compromising visible light. We evaluate 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 suggest insulated vinyl, thermally broken aluminum, or fiberglass frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to prevent air leakage and condensation. Appropriate anchoring, shims, and flashing connect units with your weather barrier, preserving structure and occupants. You'll receive clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties matching manufacturer specifications.
Personalized Shower Enclosures 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, verify wall plumb, and specify tempered or laminated safety glass to meet code and reduce flex. You select frameless enclosures for less hardware and simple maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for clear edges and budget control.
We design door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to fit tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron panels increase transparency; protective coatings limit water spots. For style and privacy, we provide patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mildew-resistant silicone, set even reveals, and adjust sweep compression to eliminate leaks. Your enclosure functions, fits, and endures.
Fast Repair Services, Critical Board‑Ups, and Security Standards
When glass shatters, you require a fast, safe solution that secures the breach and protects individuals and property. We come prepared with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and pre-cut panels to secure the premises. After containing the space, we clear loose pieces, record the situation, and install rigid boarding or temporary glazing to restore weather protection, security, and climate control.
You get clear timelines: triage here 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, preserve 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.
Dealing with Permits, Building Codes, and HOA Regulations
Because code compliance safeguards safety and resale value, we commence your project by outlining the exact approvals your address needs: city permits, energy codes (WA State Energy Code), safety glazing standards (tempered/laminated near doors, wet areas, and low sills), egress dimensions, and wind/seismic standards. We verify scope, assign responsibilities, and publish permit timelines so you know when work begins and inspections happen. We manage submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design details with community standards to eliminate delays.
You'll receive detailed Code updates impacting glass placement and opening measurements. Prior to installation, we conduct inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. Throughout work, we ensure jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Following approval, we maintain permits for your records and future resale.
Picking the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Prior to ordering any single pane, we pair glass types and hardware to your property's exposures, safety zones, and performance goals. We select tempered or laminated safety glazing where code requires, then fine-tune 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 alternatives. In wet zones, we choose corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then align Hardware finishes with your fixtures for cohesion and durability.
We catalog spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to guarantee warranty integrity. You'll understand what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We document warranties, deliver care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, preserving your investment and safety in the long run.
