Stained Glass Design Process

Thank you for your question Bill.
Price range is many times considered before begining the design of a stained glass project. There are a few things that need to be known in order to give you a rough estimate.

1. Is the type of design to be a "theme" with colored glass or bevels with clear textured glass?
2. Is it a replacement window, hanging panel or surface mounted?
3. If replacement, are your windows double paned or single glass?
4. If surface mounted, is there a sill to mount the glass panel on?
5. If exterior, is there an overhang?
6. What is the rough width" x height"?

An estimated starting price range will be given. If this price is within you budget we can start the drawing process within days.

• In home consultations are available upon request for the San Diego area free of charge.
• Many times a consultation is not needed if you have a good idea of what you want. Most correspondence can be done by email.
• A customized line drawing will be sent to you via email and modifications requested by you via email.

• If you not sure of what you want, there are a variety of color photographs and designs available from many pattern books you can look through. In this case a consultation is recommended.
• You can choose from these options or we can custom design your glass panel.
• Let me know what you would like to see in your window.
• Give me a feel of the color palette you would like to use. 
• See something you like? Send me a design you like or an idea of what you would like.

• Drawings are started within a few days and modification to those drawings a couple of days.
• If you have an installer, he/she will be responsible for and provide "ACTUAL GLASS th" x w" x h"
• If you don't have an installer we can provide you with interior surface mount at a charge of $85/hr.
• To remove and install a glass window, a professional licensed glass glazer must be contracted.
• Fabrication begins once final drawing is approved, the client has chosen glass for the project from actual glass samples, measurements are taken and 50% deposit received. Completion is usually 4~5 weeks time frame.
