Need reliable Burien residential glass professionals? You'll receive 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 take precise measurements 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 oversee permits, HOA, inspections, and warranties end‑to‑end, specifying hardware and finishes that last. Read on to see how we manage every detail.

Energy-Efficient Window Upgrades and Replacement
Even if your current windows look satisfactory, energy‑efficient replacements can decrease heat loss, lower utility bills, and enhance comfort without sacrificing safety. You'll gain measurable performance by combining Low‑E upgrades with gas fills and warm‑edge spacers to minimize U‑factor and solar heat gain without compromising visible light. We assess orientation, local climate, and code requirements to specify glazing that fulfills ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.
The framing around your windows is just as critical as the glass itself. We recommend insulated fiberglass, vinyl, or thermally broken aluminum frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to prevent air leakage and condensation. Proper anchoring, shims, and flashing integrate units with your weather barrier, preserving structure and occupants. You'll receive clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties matching manufacturer specifications.
Tailored Shower Enclosures and Glass Accents
While you're upgrading your home's glass, custom shower enclosures deliver precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance customized for your space. We take precise measurements of openings, confirm wall plumb, and designate tempered or laminated safety glass to read more comply with regulations and limit flex. You pick frameless enclosures for minimal hardware and simple maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for distinct edges and budget control.
We calculate door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to accommodate tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron glass enhances visual clarity; protective coatings limit water spots. For privacy and style, we offer patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with anti-mold silicone, set even reveals, and fine-tune sweep compression to eliminate leaks. Your enclosure fits, functions, and lasts.
Swift Fix Services, Emergency Board‑Ups, and Safety Standards
If glass breaks, you need a rapid, safe response that stabilizes the gap and shields people and belongings. We arrive equipped with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and measured panels to safeguard the area. After isolating the area, we eliminate loose shards, record the situation, and install solid board-ups or temporary glass to restore weather resistance, security, and thermal control.
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 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.
Understanding Permits, Codes, and HOA Requirements
Because code compliance ensures safety and resale value, we commence your project by identifying the exact approvals your address demands: city permits, energy codes (WA State Energy Code), safety glazing regulations (tempered/laminated near doors, wet areas, and low sills), egress dimensions, and wind/seismic standards. We establish scope, assign responsibilities, and provide permit timelines so you know when work commences and inspections occur. We oversee submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design details with community standards to avoid delays.
You'll get transparent Code updates impacting glass placement and opening measurements. Ahead of installation, we conduct Inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. In the course of work, we maintain jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. After approval, we file 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 home's exposures, safety zones, and performance goals. We select tempered or laminated safety glazing where code demands, then optimize U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and sharp views, Low‑iron glass provides true color; for privacy, we supply acid‑etched or switchable options. In wet zones, we specify corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then align Hardware finishes with your fixtures for durability and cohesion.
We log 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 document warranties, provide care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, preserving your investment and safety long‑term.
