Quality Residential Glass
Need dependable Burien residential glass professionals? We provide 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/laminated shower glass, engineer hinges and clearances, and seal for leak‑free operation. 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. Keep going to see how we handle every detail.

Energy-Efficient Window Replacement and Upgrades
Even if 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 compromising visible light. We assess 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 advise insulated vinyl, fiberglass, or thermally broken aluminum frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to stop air leakage and condensation. Appropriate anchoring, shims, and flashing incorporate units with your weather barrier, preserving occupants and structure. You'll receive 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 provide precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance tailored to your space. We field-measure openings, check wall plumb, and specify tempered or laminated safety glass to meet code and reduce flex. You choose frameless enclosures for minimal hardware and easy maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for defined edges and budget control.
We plan door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to accommodate tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron glass improves clarity; protective finishes prevent spotting. For style and privacy, we feature patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mildew-resistant silicone, create even reveals, and calibrate sweep compression to stop leaks. Your enclosure functions, fits, and endures.
Quick Repair Services, Emergency Board‑Ups, and Protection Standards
When glass breaks, you need 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 cordoning off the area, we extract loose fragments, document the scene, and install solid board-ups or temporary glass to restore weather protection, security, and climate 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 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.
Managing HOA Requirements, Permits, and Codes
As code compliance ensures safety and resale value, we begin your project by determining the exact approvals your address demands: city permits, energy codes (Washington State Energy Code), safety glazing standards (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 commences and inspections occur. We handle submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design components with community standards to avoid delays.
You'll receive detailed Code updates related to glass placement and opening dimensions. Prior to installation, we execute inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. Throughout work, we ensure jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. After approval, we maintain permits for your records and future resale.
Selecting the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Before ordering a single pane, we align glass types and hardware to your home's exposures, safety zones, and performance objectives. We specify tempered or laminated safety glazing where code mandates, then calibrate U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and crisp views, Low‑iron glass offers true color; for privacy, we offer acid‑etched or switchable alternatives. In wet zones, we specify 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 maintain warranty integrity. You'll know 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.
