Need reliable Burien residential glass experts? We provide 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 tempered and laminated 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 manage permits, HOA, inspections, and warranties end‑to‑end, specifying hardware and finishes that last. Read on to see how we handle every detail.

Energy-Efficient Window Replacement and Upgrades
Even if your current windows look satisfactory, energy‑efficient replacements can decrease heat loss, lower utility bills, and boost comfort without jeopardizing 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 losing visible light. We analyze orientation, local climate, and code requirements to specify glazing that satisfies ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.
Glass is only part of the equation—window framing enhancements are equally important. We suggest insulated vinyl, fiberglass, or thermally broken aluminum frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to eliminate air leakage and condensation. Appropriate anchoring, shims, and flashing connect units with your weather barrier, protecting structure and occupants. You'll receive clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties aligned with manufacturer specifications.
Tailored Shower Surrounds and Glass Components
While upgrading your home's glass, custom shower enclosures offer precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance tailored to your space. We field-measure openings, verify wall plumb, and specify tempered or laminated safety glass to comply with regulations and limit flex. You pick frameless enclosures for reduced hardware and simple 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 panels enhance clarity; protective treatments minimize spotting. For style and privacy, we feature patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mildew-resistant silicone, ensure even reveals, and adjust sweep compression to prevent leaks. Your enclosure performs, fits, and lasts.
Rapid Repair Services, Critical Board‑Ups, and Protection Standards
If glass breaks, you need a fast, safe solution that secures the breach and protects people and property. We arrive outfitted with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and custom-sized panels to secure the premises. After cordoning off the area, we eliminate loose shards, record the situation, and install solid board-ups or temporary glass to restore weatherproofing, safety, and energy efficiency.
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.
Navigating Permits, Building Codes, and HOA Regulations
As code compliance safeguards safety and resale value, we start your project by outlining the exact approvals your address requires: 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 validate scope, assign responsibilities, and establish Permit timelines so you know when work starts and inspections occur. We handle submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design details with community standards to minimize delays.
You'll receive detailed Code updates related to glass placement and opening measurements. Ahead of installation, we run Inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, website safety rails, and emergency egress. During work, we ensure jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Following approval, we file permits for your records and future resale.
Choosing the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Before we order a single pane, we pair glass types and hardware to your property's exposures, safety zones, and performance objectives. We specify 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 delivers true color; for privacy, we provide acid‑etched or switchable alternatives. 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 protect warranty integrity. You'll be informed about what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We record warranties, provide care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, protecting your investment and safety in the long run.
Common Questions
Do You Offer Free At-Home Consultations and Digital Price Assessments?
Yes, you can book free in-home consultations and request digital estimates.

How Quickly Can You Book Non-Emergency Appointments?
You can generally schedule non-emergency appointments within 24-72 hours, with limited same day availability during lighter workloads. We provide flexible scheduling, including early mornings and late afternoons, to minimize inconvenience. You decide on time windows, and we'll confirm with precise arrival estimates.

Are Your Technicians Company-Employed and Background-Checked?
Indeed. We provide background screened technicians who are company-employed professionals, not subcontractors. We conduct multi-stage screenings: national criminal screening, driving record verification, I-9/E-Verify, and drug testing. Expect to see 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 monitors chain-of-custody for glass and hardware, providing accountability, data privacy, and a clean, safe work area from start to finish.
How Are Insurance Claims or Documentation Support?
Just as a beacon guides through darkness, you receive full-service claim guidance.
