Main Points

• High-efficiency window replacements with Low-E, gas fills, and warm-edge spacers complying with Burien ENERGY STAR and WA Energy Code standards.
• Customized semi-frameless or frameless shower enclosures, precisely measured, tempered/laminated, and designed for leak-proof, long-lasting performance.
• Fast repair services and emergency board-ups with proper shard clearing, protected temporary glazing, and prompt replacement scheduling.
• Comprehensive permitting services: municipal permits, safety glazing, egress, wind and seismic criteria, HOA coordination, and inspection management.
• Superior materials with warranty coverage: insulated frames, corrosion-resistant hardware, documented specs, registered coverage, and scheduled care follow-ups.

Energy-Saving Window Upgrades and Replacement

Even though your current windows look satisfactory, energy‑efficient replacements can decrease heat loss, lower utility bills, and enhance comfort without sacrificing safety. You'll obtain measurable performance by combining Low‑E upgrades with gas fills and warm‑edge spacers to lower U‑factor and solar heat gain without sacrificing 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, 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, protecting structure and occupants. You'll get clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties aligned with manufacturer specifications.

Personalized Shower Enclosures and Glass Components

When you're enhancing 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 select tempered or laminated safety glass to comply with regulations and limit flex. You pick frameless enclosures for less hardware and easy maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for defined edges and budget control.

We plan door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to fit tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron glass enhances visual clarity; protective finishes prevent spotting. For aesthetics and privacy, we provide patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mold-resistant silicone, set even reveals, and adjust sweep compression to stop leaks. Your enclosure fits, functions, and lasts.

Rapid Repairs, Critical Board‑Ups, and Protection Standards

When glass shatters, you require a fast, safe solution that stabilizes the gap and protects individuals and property. We show up equipped with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and fitted panels to safeguard the area. After securing the zone, we extract loose fragments, document the scene, and install rigid boarding or temporary glazing to restore weatherproofing, safety, and energy efficiency.

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 insulated, tempered, or laminated glass matched to performance specs. We anchor boards to structural members only, protect drainage paths, and label hazards. Our technicians verify safe egress, child/pet zones, and alarm sensors. You leave with a stabilized opening and a confirmed follow‑up plan.

Understanding HOA Requirements, Permits, and Codes

Since code compliance ensures safety and resale value, we begin your project by outlining the exact approvals your address demands: 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 requirements. 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 eliminate delays.

You'll get detailed Code updates impacting glass placement and opening measurements. Ahead of installation, we run inspection checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. In the course of work, we maintain jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Once we receive approval, we archive permits for your records and future resale.

Picking the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties

Prior to ordering any single pane, we match glass types and hardware to your residence's exposures, safety zones, and performance requirements. We select tempered or laminated safety glazing where code mandates, then optimize U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and sharp views, Low‑iron glass offers true color; for privacy, we provide 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 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, supply care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, protecting your investment and safety over the long term.
