Searching for trusted 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. Rely 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 handle every detail.

High-Efficiency Window Upgrades and Replacement
Even if your current windows seem fine, energy‑efficient replacements can cut heat loss, reduce utility bills, and improve comfort without jeopardizing safety. You'll gain 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 analyze orientation, local climate, and code requirements to specify glazing that fulfills ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.
Glass is only part of the equation—window framing enhancements are equally important. We advise insulated vinyl, thermally broken aluminum, or fiberglass 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 both structure and occupants. We provide clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties matching manufacturer specifications.
Tailored Shower Surrounds and Glass Accents
As you upgrade your home's glass, custom shower enclosures offer precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance customized for your space. We field-measure openings, verify wall plumb, and specify tempered or laminated safety glass to meet code and limit flex. You choose frameless enclosures for reduced hardware and effortless maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for distinct edges and budget control.
We engineer door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to match tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron glass improves 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 anti-mold silicone, set even reveals, and regulate sweep compression to avoid water leakage. Your enclosure performs, fits, and lasts.
Fast Repairs, Immediate Board‑Ups, and Security Standards
If glass breaks, you need a rapid, safe response that secures the breach and protects people and property. We arrive equipped with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and pre-cut panels to protect the location. After isolating the area, we extract loose fragments, assess conditions, and install rigid boarding or temporary glazing 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 tempered, laminated, 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.
Dealing with Codes, Permits, and HOA Requirements
As code compliance safeguards safety and resale value, we start your project by determining 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 confirm scope, assign responsibilities, and provide Permit timelines so you know when work begins and inspections take place. We oversee submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design components with community standards to prevent delays.
We deliver comprehensive Code updates affecting glass placement and opening dimensions. Prior to installation, we perform inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. While performing work, we maintain jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Following approval, we store permits for your records and future resale.
Choosing the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Prior to ordering any single pane, we pair glass types and hardware to your home's exposures, safety zones, and performance objectives. We specify tempered or laminated safety glazing where code requires, then fine-tune U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and clear views, Low‑iron glass provides true color; for privacy, we offer acid‑etched or switchable options. In wet zones, we choose corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then match Hardware finishes with your fixtures for lasting durability and visual cohesion.
We catalog 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, deliver care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, safeguarding your investment and safety in the long run.
Common Questions
Are You Offering Free On-Site Consultations and Digital Price Assessments?

We conduct multi-stage checks: national criminal screening, driving record verification, I-9/E-Verify, and drug testing. You'll be presented with photo ID when we arrive, uniformed staff, and marked vehicles. We maintain continuous education on OSHA-safe handling, tempered/laminated standards, and site protection. Your project manager tracks chain-of-custody for glass and hardware, guaranteeing accountability, data privacy, and a clean, safe work area from start to finish.
How Do You Handle Insurance Claims or Documentation Support?
Similar to a guiding light through turbulence, you receive complete claim guidance. We record damage with photos, measurements, and more info serials, then align estimates to insurer standards and municipal codes. We manage adjuster reviews, provide required forms, and oversee approvals. We also present deductible assistance options, outline coverage limits, and note safety-critical conditions per established ANSI/IGMA protocols. You approve all steps, we maintain secure records, and we do not move forward without insurer and customer authorization.
