Need reliable Burien residential glass specialists? You'll get ENERGY STAR‑targeted window replacements with Low‑E, gas fills, warm‑edge spacers, and insulated frames, set up 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 performance. Expect fast, safe board‑ups, precise replacements, and storm damage triage. We manage permits, HOA, inspections, and warranties end‑to‑end, specifying hardware and finishes that last. Read on to see how we handle every detail.

High-Efficiency Window Replacement and Improvement
While your current windows seem fine, energy‑efficient replacements can reduce heat loss, reduce utility bills, and improve comfort without jeopardizing 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 evaluate orientation, local climate, and code requirements to specify glazing that meets ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.
Glass is only part of the equation—window framing enhancements are equally important. We suggest insulated vinyl, thermally broken aluminum, or fiberglass frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to stop air leakage and condensation. Correct anchoring, shims, and flashing incorporate units with your weather barrier, protecting both structure and occupants. You'll receive clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties consistent with manufacturer specifications.
Bespoke Shower Installations and Glass Components
When you're enhancing your home's glass, custom shower enclosures provide precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance tailored to your space. We carefully measure openings, confirm wall plumb, and designate tempered or laminated safety glass to comply with regulations and minimize flex. You choose frameless enclosures for less hardware and effortless maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for distinct edges and budget control.
We calculate door swing website clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to fit tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron panels increase transparency; protective finishes prevent spotting. For aesthetics and privacy, we provide patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mold-inhibiting silicone, set even reveals, and regulate sweep compression to avoid water leakage. Your enclosure fits perfectly, works flawlessly, and endures.
Fast Fix Services, Immediate Board‑Ups, and Protection Standards
If glass breaks, you need a fast, safe solution that reinforces the opening and protects people and property. We come prepared with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and fitted panels to secure the premises. After isolating the area, we extract loose fragments, document conditions, and install rigid boarding or temporary 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, protect 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 Permits, Codes, and HOA Requirements
Since code compliance protects safety and resale value, we begin your project by determining the exact approvals your address demands: 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 criteria. We confirm 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 elements with community standards to avoid delays.
You'll receive comprehensive Code updates concerning glass placement and opening dimensions. Prior to installation, we run verification checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. Throughout work, we maintain jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Following approval, we store permits for your records and future resale.
Picking the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Before ordering a single pane, we align glass types and hardware to your property's exposures, safety zones, and performance requirements. We designate tempered or laminated safety glazing where code requires, then optimize U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and sharp views, Low‑iron glass delivers true color; for privacy, we supply acid‑etched or switchable alternatives. In wet zones, we choose corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then match Hardware finishes with your fixtures for cohesion and durability.
We log spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to protect warranty integrity. You'll be informed about what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We document warranties, supply care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, securing your investment and safety over the long term.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are You Offering Free On-Site Consultations and Digital Quotes?
Yes, you may arrange free in-home consultations and request digital estimates. We set up no obligation visits to measure dimensions, framing, and code requirements, then supply virtual estimates with itemized materials, labor, and lead times. You'll obtain precise measurements, safety glazing recommendations, and hardware options. We confirm egress, tempered-laminate needs, and sealing details to avoid failures. You can upload photos or plans for quicker turnaround. We'll validate scope, pricing, and timelines before any work begins.
What Burien and Nearby Neighborhoods Do You Cover?
We provide coverage for North Burien, Lake Burien, Seahurst Park, Normandy Park, Des Moines, White Center, Westwood Village, Southwest Seattle, Bryn Mawr, and Shadow Lake.
