How does the design process work?:

For all projects we request a $300 design deposit to reserve a place on our schedule. After determining the type of work needed, a web page is then created for you to review your design options (click here to see a sample page). Once a design is chosen, a 50% materials deposit will initiate an order, with the balance due before delivery. 

How much will this cost?

Pricing information for our existing designs is located on each design page.

Pricing for our custom work is based on three factors:
-the amount of time spent developing the project
-the complexity of the design
-the cost of materials.

Size has little to do with price, except in relation to materials cost. A large, simple design may cost less than a smaller, complex design. For this reason we cannot offer accurate estimates based on size or design idea alone. 

How long will this take?

That depends. If you choose a preexisting design like those found on our What We Do page, orders generally take12-14 weeks to complete. Commissioned designs average between 4-6 months and longer for large projects.

Will I have to take the existing glass out of my window and replace it with a leaded glass panel?

It depends on the project. We recommend replacing the original pane of glass with a leaded panel so one can appreciate the quality of the materials and craftsmanship from both sides. Often, people prefer to leave existing glass in place as it provides a weatherproof and airtight barrier. Factors such as direct weather, street noise and how long you plan to stay are also considered.  

How do I pay?

We accept cash, checks, and money orders.

What about shipping?

For local projects we can deliver at an additional charge.

For our out-of-town clients we ship small and medium size projects via UPS. Large projects are crated and shipped by a national freight company that specializes in handling delicate items. All shipping arrangements are between the client and the shipping company whom bills the client directly.
