High-Efficiency Window Upgrades and Replacement
Even if your current windows seem fine, energy‑efficient replacements can decrease heat loss, reduce 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 compromising visible light. We assess 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 fiberglass, vinyl, or thermally broken aluminum frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to stop air leakage and condensation. Correct anchoring, shims, and flashing connect units with your weather barrier, preserving structure and occupants. You'll receive clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties aligned with manufacturer specifications.
Custom Shower Surrounds and Glass Accents
When you're enhancing your home's glass, custom shower enclosures provide precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance tailored to your space. We field-measure openings, confirm wall plumb, and select tempered or laminated safety glass to satisfy building codes and reduce flex. You pick frameless enclosures for minimal hardware and effortless maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for clear edges and budget control.
We design door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to suit tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron glass enhances visual clarity; protective finishes prevent spotting. For privacy and style, we offer patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mildew-resistant silicone, establish even reveals, and calibrate sweep compression to prevent leaks. Your enclosure performs, fits, and lasts.
Quick Restoration Work, Critical Board‑Ups, and Safety Standards
When glass is broken, you require a rapid, safe response that stabilizes the gap and safeguards occupants and assets. We arrive outfitted with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and pre-cut panels to safeguard the area. After cordoning off the area, we clear loose pieces, document conditions, and install sturdy board-ups or interim glazing to restore weather, security, and energy 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, preserve 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, Codes, and HOA Requirements
Because code compliance ensures safety and resale value, we start your project by determining 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 requirements. We validate scope, assign responsibilities, and publish Permit timelines so you know when work starts and inspections take place. We manage submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design specifications with community standards to eliminate delays.
We deliver transparent Code updates impacting glass placement and opening sizes. Before installation, we conduct inspection here checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. While performing work, we maintain jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. After approval, we store permits for your records and future resale.
Selecting the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Prior to ordering any single pane, we pair glass types and hardware to your property's exposures, safety zones, and performance requirements. We specify tempered or laminated safety glazing where code demands, then optimize 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 solutions. In wet zones, we choose corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then match Hardware finishes with your fixtures for durability and cohesion.
We catalog spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to guarantee warranty integrity. You will know exactly what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We file warranties, supply care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, preserving your investment and safety over the long term.
Common Questions
Are You Offering Free In-Home Consultations and Digital Estimates?
Yes, you may arrange free in-home consultations and request digital estimates.

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 accelerated turnaround. We'll validate scope, pricing, and timelines before any work commences.
What Burien and Nearby Neighborhoods Do You Cover?
