Step by Step Process of Ordering A Custom Window From Ultraviolet Stained Glass Portland

Consultation

Speak with me to discuss your wishes and timeline. For installed work I will visit the site to take careful measurements, note the light levels and the architecture of the space. From there we will talk about ideas and get a feel for how complex the project will be. I will then write up an estimate within 48 hours for approval. For repairs I will see the work in person and then create an estimate based on hours and cost of replacement supplies. For framed stained glass we can do everything remotely if desired.

Design and Construction

A deposit is required to start design work. I will be in touch with drawings, color schemes, glass textures, and finishes. Once the design is finalized I will order glass from my suppliers. From there the construction phase usually takes around a 4-8 weeks, depending on the scope of the project. Large projects with very complex paint work and/or square footage will of course take longer.

Delivery and Installation

Installation might be done by myself, or a hired glazier(s) depending on the situation. I often collaborate with other local glass professionals that might perform encapsulation, sash restoration, removal/installation or framing. Final payment will be due on delivery. Then we celebrate!
