Need trusted Burien residential glass experts? You'll get 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 field‑measure and fabricate code‑compliant tempered/laminated shower glass, engineer hinges and clearances, and seal for leak‑free service. Expect 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. Continue reading to see how we handle every detail.
Important Points

- Custom frameless or semi-frameless shower enclosures, precisely measured, tempered/laminated, and constructed for water-tight, reliable performance.
- Speedy repair work and emergency board-ups with proper shard extraction, secure temporary glazing, and fast replacement scheduling.
- Complete permitting assistance: local permits, safety glazing, egress, seismic and wind criteria, HOA coordination, and inspection management.
- Superior materials with warranty coverage: insulated frames, corrosion-resistant hardware, documented specs, registered coverage, and scheduled care follow-ups.
Energy-Saving Window Replacement and Improvement
Even though your current windows look satisfactory, energy‑efficient replacements can cut heat loss, reduce utility bills, and improve comfort without compromising 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 sacrificing visible light. We analyze orientation, local climate, and code requirements to specify glazing that fulfills ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.
Window framing enhancements matter as much as glass. We suggest insulated vinyl, fiberglass, or thermally broken aluminum frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to eliminate air leakage and condensation. Correct anchoring, shims, and flashing integrate units with your weather barrier, safeguarding structure and occupants. We provide clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties consistent with manufacturer specifications.
Custom Shower Installations and Glass Accents
As you upgrade your home's glass, custom shower enclosures offer precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance tailored to your space. We carefully measure openings, check wall plumb, and specify tempered or laminated safety glass to meet code and minimize flex. You choose frameless enclosures for minimal hardware and effortless maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for defined here edges and budget control.
We engineer door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to match tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron panels enhance clarity; protective treatments minimize spotting. For style and privacy, we include 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 prevent leaks. Your enclosure performs, fits, and lasts.
Rapid Repair Services, Critical Board‑Ups, and Safety Standards
If glass breaks, you need a quick, secure response that stabilizes the opening and protects individuals and property. We arrive equipped with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and measured panels to protect the location. After securing the zone, we eliminate loose shards, record the situation, 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 insulated, tempered, or laminated glass matched to performance specs. We anchor boards to structural members only, preserve 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.
Managing Codes, Permits, and HOA Requirements
Since code compliance protects safety and resale value, we initiate your project by mapping the exact approvals your address requires: city permits, energy codes (WA State Energy Code), safety glazing rules (tempered/laminated near doors, wet areas, and low sills), egress dimensions, and wind/seismic requirements. We validate scope, assign responsibilities, and publish Permit timelines so you know when work starts and inspections happen. We oversee submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design components with community standards to prevent delays.
You'll receive comprehensive Code updates affecting glass placement and opening dimensions. Ahead of installation, we run inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. Throughout work, we preserve jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Upon approval, we store permits for your records and future resale.
Selecting the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Prior to ordering any single pane, we pair glass types and hardware to your residence's exposures, safety zones, and performance goals. We specify tempered or laminated safety glazing where code mandates, then fine-tune U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and crisp views, Low‑iron glass provides true color; for privacy, we provide acid‑etched or switchable alternatives. In wet zones, we specify corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then coordinate Hardware finishes with your fixtures for cohesion and durability.
We record 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 file warranties, provide care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, securing your investment and safety in the long run.
