We require a $100.00 design fee in advance of any detailed consultations, or site visits. (We don't charge for answering simple questions.) It is also required to make the pencil move. This fee is not refundable but it is subtracted from the total, so it also serves as a deposit.

Once your designs are complete and approved, the glass will be chosen for your order. We ask for a 50% (of the estimated total ) payment to purchase materials before we begin fabrication.

The balance is due upon completion.

Depending on the location we may charge a nominal fee for site visits to measure or cut templates.

How Long Does It Take?

It depends on who's ahead of you and how quickly we can work through the design process. On the average: eight to twelve weeks, from beginning to end.

If you have a special event that you are planning, we will make every effort to help you meet your goal.

If you don't think that you could possibly afford what we do - call or email us - there are many alternative ways to get something unique and elegant for surprisingly low cost. We are here to work with you.

Our prices are determined by a base square foot price, combined with the cost of the number of pieces used in the design.

With over 12 years of experience in the Art glass industry, we have calculated averages and created a formula, that you can use to estimate the cost of your window.

The average design will have 8 to 15 pieces per square foot. More is charged for wood framing,installation, bevels, jewels, sand etching, painting and other specialty treatments.

The pieces are priced from $1.50 to $3.00 each, depending on the type of glass and the intricacy of the cuts.

Please print this page, take your measurements, and determine your own "Ball Park" estimate, by following the steps in the formula to the right.

We will be glad to sit down and discuss the variables involved and give you a more complete estimate, if you will call for an appointment.

We can also do phone consultations, and we do ship anywhere in the Continental US. (Yes, we ship windows.) If your window is an oval, circle, arabesque, octagon, or any other odd shape we can give you a "Ball Park" by phone, email.

FORMULA

Height (in inches) multiplied by width (in inches) equals:_____

That total divided by 144 equals:_____

That total is your square footage.

Your square footage total multiplied by $85.00 equals:_____(A)

That total is your "base" price.

Your square footage multiplied by 11 equals:_____

That total is the average number of pieces for a window that size.

That total multiplied by $2.00 equals:_____(B)

That total is the average cost for the pieces in a window that size.

Add the "base" price (A) to the cost of the pieces (B) and you have a "ball park" estimate, based on averages.

Some variables: For simple straight line design, use $85.00 for calculating "base" price. For intricate, more complicated designs, use $150.00 for calculating "base" price.

Please note: Organic designs: birds, flowers, landscapes, etc. require more pieces and more intricate cuts than geometric designs, so they will be in the higher average, but not necessarily at the $150.00. Remember, you're just trying to get into the "ball park."

If you want something special and you have a set budget, tell us what you want, and what your budget is, and we will work with that, to provide something that you can be proud of for many years to come.
