Frequently Asked Questions
What types of stained glass work do you offer?
We create custom stained glass windows, transoms, sidelights, cabinet inserts, and restoration for residential, commercial, and sacred spaces. Every piece is individually designed and handcrafted.
How does the stained glass commission process work?
It begins with a consultation to discuss dimensions, style, color, and design preferences. After an estimate and design approval, the glass is cut, assembled, and finished by hand. We provide progress photos and installation guidance when applicable.
Do you design custom stained glass from photos or sketches?
Yes. Clients often bring photos, fabric patterns, or architectural details for inspiration. We translate your ideas into a workable glass design while maintaining structural integrity and luminosity.
How long does a custom stained glass project take?Most projects take 4–8 weeks, depending on size, complexity, and the number of pieces in our production schedule. Restoration or large-scale commissions may require additional time.
What do custom stained glass pieces cost?
Pricing depends on size, complexity, design detail, and glass selection. Smaller panels may start around a few hundred dollars, while large or intricate windows are quoted by the square foot after consultation.
Do you install the stained glass windows?
We can recommend experienced installers or provide installation support depending on your location. Many panels are designed for easy fit into existing frames, doors, or cabinet openings.
Can stained glass be insulated or used in double-pane windows?
Yes. We can create stained glass designed to be encapsulated between insulated glass units for energy efficiency and protection.
Do you repair or restore existing stained glass?
Absolutely. We assess damage, match original materials as closely as possible, and restore panels to preserve their beauty and structural integrity.
How should stained glass be cleaned and cared for?
Use a soft cloth and mild glass cleaner—avoid ammonia, abrasives, or high pressure. Periodic inspection of framing and weatherproofing helps preserve the piece.
Do you ship stained glass panels?
Yes. Panels are securely crated and insured for shipping. We’ll provide packaging details and care instructions for safe unpacking.
Can you match existing stained glass in a home or church?
We can closely match pattern, color, and glass texture to blend seamlessly with original work.
Do you offer design consultations or estimates?
Yes. Consultations can be done in person or virtually. We provide quotes based on your measurements, ideas, and preferences before beginning any design work.
What if I don’t know exactly what I want?
That’s fine. We help guide you through style choices, color palettes, and design themes that work with your space and light conditions.
