Energy-Efficient Window Replacement and Improvement
Even though your current windows seem fine, energy‑efficient replacements can reduce heat loss, lower utility bills, and improve comfort without sacrificing safety. You'll obtain 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 analyze 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, fiberglass, or thermally broken aluminum frames, click here sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to stop air leakage and condensation.

You'll get clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties matching manufacturer specifications.
Personalized Shower Enclosures and Glass Features
While you're upgrading your home's glass, custom shower enclosures deliver precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance customized for your space. We take precise measurements of openings, confirm wall plumb, and specify tempered or laminated safety glass to meet code and reduce flex. You pick frameless enclosures for less hardware and effortless 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 glass improves clarity; protective coatings reduce spotting. For visual appeal and privacy, we include patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mildew-resistant silicone, ensure even reveals, and calibrate sweep compression to prevent leaks. Your enclosure functions, fits, and endures.
Swift Repair Services, Emergency Board‑Ups, and Security Standards
When glass is broken, you require a quick, secure response that stabilizes the opening and protects individuals and property. We show up equipped with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and pre-cut panels to protect the location. After containing the space, we eliminate loose shards, document the scene, and install solid board-ups or temporary glass to restore weather, security, and energy control.
You receive 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, maintain 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 Building Permits, Codes, and HOA Rules
Since code compliance ensures safety and resale value, we start your project by mapping the exact approvals your address requires: city permits, energy codes (WA State Energy Code), safety glazing rules (tempered/laminated near doors, wet areas, and low sills), egress dimensions, and wind/seismic criteria. We establish scope, assign responsibilities, and publish Permit timelines so you know when work starts and inspections happen. We handle submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design specifications with community standards to minimize delays.
We deliver transparent Code updates related to glass placement and opening measurements. Before installation, we execute verification checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. In the course of work, we ensure jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Upon approval, we maintain permits for your records and future resale.
Picking the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Before we order a single pane, we match glass types and hardware to your property's exposures, safety zones, and performance objectives. We designate tempered or laminated safety glazing where code mandates, then calibrate U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and clear views, Low‑iron glass provides true color; for privacy, we supply acid‑etched or switchable options. In wet zones, we choose corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then align Hardware finishes with your fixtures for durability and cohesion.
We log spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to maintain warranty integrity. You'll be informed about what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We register warranties, supply care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, preserving your investment and safety over the long term.
