Searching for reliable Burien residential glass specialists? 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 take precise measurements and fabricate code‑compliant tempered and laminated shower glass, engineer hinges and clearances, and seal for leak‑free service.

Read on to see how we manage every detail.

Energy-Efficient Window Replacement and Upgrades
Even if your current windows look satisfactory, energy‑efficient replacements can reduce heat loss, decrease utility bills, and enhance comfort without sacrificing 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 sacrificing visible light. We evaluate 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 fiberglass, vinyl, or thermally broken aluminum frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to eliminate air leakage and condensation. Appropriate anchoring, shims, and flashing connect units with your weather barrier, preserving occupants and structure. 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 designed for your space. We take precise measurements of openings, check wall plumb, and designate tempered or laminated safety glass to meet code and reduce flex. You pick frameless enclosures for minimal hardware and simple maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for defined edges and budget control.
We engineer door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to suit tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron glass enhances visual clarity; 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-resistant silicone, set even reveals, and calibrate sweep compression to prevent leaks. Your enclosure functions, fits, and endures.
Quick Restoration Work, Immediate Board‑Ups, and Safety Standards
If glass breaks, you need a fast, safe solution that reinforces the opening and shields people and belongings. We come prepared with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and custom-sized panels to safeguard the area. After containing the space, we eliminate loose shards, assess conditions, and install sturdy board-ups or interim glazing to restore weather resistance, security, and thermal control.
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, pet/child zones, and alarm sensors. You leave with a stabilized opening and a confirmed follow‑up plan.
Handling Building Permits, Codes, and HOA Rules
Since code compliance protects safety and resale value, we start your project by identifying the exact approvals your address requires: 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 requirements. We confirm scope, assign responsibilities, and publish Permit timelines so you know when work starts and inspections occur. We manage submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design components with community standards to minimize delays.
You'll get comprehensive Code updates related to glass placement and opening measurements. Before installation, we perform inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. While performing work, we ensure jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Following approval, we maintain permits for your records and future resale.
Selecting 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 requirements. We select tempered or laminated safety glazing where code mandates, then fine-tune U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and clear views, Low‑iron glass offers true color; for privacy, we offer acid‑etched or switchable options. In wet zones, we choose corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then coordinate Hardware finishes with your fixtures for durability and cohesion.
We log spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to maintain warranty integrity. You'll know what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We register warranties, offer care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, protecting your investment and safety in the long run.
