Looking for dependable Burien residential glass experts? 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 safety‑rated shower glass, engineer hinges and clearances, and seal for leak‑free operation. Expect 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 handle every detail.
Important Points

- Tailor-made frameless or semi-frameless shower enclosures, precisely measured, tempered and laminated, and constructed for watertight, durable performance.
- Rapid repairs and emergency board-ups with careful shard extraction, safe temporary glazing, and swift replacement scheduling.
- Complete permitting support: local permits, safety glazing, egress, seismic and wind criteria, HOA coordination, and inspection management.
- Superior materials with warranty coverage: insulated frames, rust-resistant hardware, documented specifications, registered warranty coverage, and scheduled maintenance follow-ups.
Energy-Efficient Window Upgrades and Replacement
While your current windows look satisfactory, energy‑efficient replacements can reduce heat loss, lower utility bills, and enhance 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 sacrificing visible light. We assess 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 fiberglass, vinyl, or thermally broken aluminum frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to stop air leakage and condensation. Proper anchoring, shims, and flashing incorporate units with your weather barrier, safeguarding both structure and occupants. You'll get clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties consistent with manufacturer specifications.
Tailored Shower Surrounds and Glass Components
While upgrading your home's glass, custom shower enclosures provide precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance customized for your space. We take precise measurements of openings, check wall plumb, and select tempered or laminated safety glass to comply with regulations and limit flex. You select frameless enclosures for minimal hardware and simple maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for defined edges and budget control.
We calculate door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to fit tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron panels enhance clarity; protective treatments minimize spotting. For privacy and style, we offer patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mildew-resistant silicone, establish even reveals, and regulate sweep compression to prevent leaks. Your enclosure performs, fits, and lasts.
Fast Restoration Work, Emergency Board‑Ups, and Protection Standards
When glass breaks, you need a rapid, safe response that stabilizes the gap and protects people and property. We show up equipped with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and fitted panels to safeguard the area. After containing the space, we clear loose pieces, document conditions, 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 laminated, tempered, 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, Codes, and HOA Requirements
Since code compliance ensures safety and resale value, we start your project by identifying the exact approvals your address needs: city permits, energy codes (WA State Energy Code), safety glazing requirements (tempered/laminated near doors, wet areas, and low sills), egress dimensions, and wind/seismic standards. We establish scope, assign responsibilities, and set permit timelines so you know when work starts and inspections happen. We manage submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design details with community standards to avoid delays.
You'll receive comprehensive Code updates related to glass placement and opening sizes. Before installation, we run inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. During work, we ensure jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Upon approval, we store 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 designate 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 offers true color; for privacy, we supply acid‑etched or switchable solutions. In wet zones, we select corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then coordinate Hardware finishes with your fixtures for lasting durability and visual cohesion.
We record 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 record warranties, supply care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, preserving your investment and safety long‑term.
