High-Efficiency Window Replacement and Upgrades
Even if your current windows look satisfactory, energy‑efficient replacements can reduce heat loss, reduce utility bills, and improve comfort without compromising 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 compromising visible light. We assess 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 recommend insulated vinyl, fiberglass, or thermally broken aluminum frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to eliminate air leakage and condensation. Correct anchoring, shims, and flashing incorporate units with your weather barrier, safeguarding structure and occupants. We provide clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties consistent with manufacturer specifications.
Tailored Shower Installations 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 take precise measurements of openings, verify wall plumb, and designate tempered or laminated safety glass to meet code and reduce flex. You select frameless enclosures for less hardware and effortless maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for clear edges and budget control.
We engineer door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to accommodate tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron glass improves 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 anti-mold silicone, ensure even reveals, and regulate sweep compression to stop leaks. Your enclosure fits perfectly, works flawlessly, and endures.
Swift Repairs, Emergency Board‑Ups, and Safety Standards
When glass breaks, you need a rapid, safe response that secures the breach and protects individuals and property. We show up equipped with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and measured panels to protect the location. After isolating the area, we extract loose fragments, assess conditions, and install rigid board‑ups 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 tempered, laminated, or insulated glass matched to performance specs.

Managing HOA Requirements, Permits, and Codes
As code compliance protects safety and resale value, we start your project by identifying the exact approvals your address demands: city permits, energy codes (Washington State Energy Code), safety glazing regulations (tempered/laminated near doors, wet areas, and low sills), egress dimensions, and wind/seismic standards. We confirm scope, assign responsibilities, and set Permit timelines so you know when work commences and inspections occur. We oversee submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design elements with community standards to minimize delays.
You'll get transparent Code updates concerning glass placement and opening dimensions. Before installation, we perform verification checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. In the course of work, we preserve jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Following approval, we store permits for your records and future resale.
Choosing the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Before ordering a single pane, we pair glass types and hardware to your property's exposures, safety zones, and performance goals. We specify tempered or laminated safety glazing where code demands, then calibrate 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 options. In wet zones, we select corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then match Hardware finishes with your fixtures for durability and cohesion.
We record spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to ensure 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, protecting your investment and safety over the long term.
