Our Process
Initial Request
The client reached out to us with photos and measurements of their porch stairs, looking for a clean and modern railing solution.
Quote Provided
We provided a detailed quote with sample photos of similar projects to help the client visualize the final look.
On-Site Estimate & Design
We visited the property for a full consultation, showed hardware samples, and discussed options. Exact measurements were taken, including creating a custom stair template for accurate glass fabrication — a critical step for stair railings to ensure perfect alignment and safety.
Production
- Glass fabrication timeline: 2–4 weeks
(depending on size, complexity, and seasonal demand)
Installation
Once the custom glass panels were ready, we returned for installation.
- Spigots were carefully installed with offsets from the stone edges to avoid damage.
- Glass panels were inserted into the spigots with precision.
- Everything was leveled, secured, and tightened to ensure strength and stability.
The installation itself took just 1 day, completed with extra care to protect both the glass and the existing stonework.
