Essential Highlights
High-Efficiency Window Upgrades for Every Room
Well before drafts creep in off of Puget Sound, map out your energy-efficient window replacement on a room-by-room basis to reduce heat loss and manage glare. In living areas, choose double- or triple-pane IGUs with argon, warm-edge spacers, and spectrally selective low e upgrades calibrated for west-facing afternoon sun. For bedrooms, emphasize low SHGC on south and west elevations and quiet-laminate choices along Ambaum traffic. Kitchens need tempered units near ranges and high VT to maintain task lighting.
Bathrooms require privacy glass with rust-resistant hardware and tight vapor seals. For basements, choose composite frames to withstand moisture and meet egress codes. Assess attic glazing in skylights: laminated, curb-mounted, and low-e to reduce summer gain. In coastal regions, choose DP-rated frames, stainless fasteners, and correctly flashed nail fins.
Tailored Shower Enclosures That Upgrade Your Bathroom
Elevate your bath with a custom shower enclosure built for Puget Sound homes: frameless 3/8"–1/2" heat-treated or laminated glass, low-iron for true color, and hardware in corrosion-resistant 316 stainless or solid brass. You'll get precise field measurements, tight reveals, and properly pitched sills to shed water. Frameless doors move smoothly on self-centering copyrights, with clearances set for steam retention and code-required egress.
Select patterned glass for privacy—rain, reeded, or satin-etch—without sacrificing light. We seal with mildew-resistant silicone and continuous magnetic strikes to reduce leakage. Thresholds, sweeps, and clamps are sized for your tile layout, niches, and benches. In the coastal air of Burien, we spec anti-corrosion fasteners and through-glass mounts. Expect crisp edges, polished cutouts, and ADA-compliant handles where needed.
Mirrors, Glass Railings, and Specialty Products Customized for You
After we fine-tune your shower enclosure, we apply the same precision to mirrors, glass railings, and custom pieces throughout your Burien home. You get precision-grade beveled mirrors tailored to tight walls, sloped ceilings, or vanity spans, with smooth edges and secure, low-profile mounting. For stairs, balconies, and decks, we fabricate frameless glass railings with code-compliant tempered panels, fastened to existing posts or new shoe bases, resisting wind, salt air, and daily use.

Our Process: From Consultation to Crystal-Clear Installation
Though your goals determine the scope, our process ensures it accurate and reliable. We commence with an on-site Initial assessment anywhere in Burien—check openings, substrate, plumb, and ventilation. We capture measurements to the 1/16", note code-clearances, and flag obstacles like uneven sills or tile reveals. You'll receive alternatives for glass type, edge profiles, and hardware finishes that match local conditions.
Following this, we validate requirements, procure safety glass, and complete schedule planning tied to supplier lead times and your schedule. We arrange permits when needed and prepare the site to reduce dust. On installation day, we dry-fit, shim for level, position panes with clips or structural silicone, and seal moisture-prone areas. Concluding checks include testing swing and slide mechanisms, gasket integrity, and cleanup. We finalize with payment and care instructions.
