It is a longstanding operating policy of Progressive Art Stained Glass Studio to offer complimentary consultations for any potential project, whether or not one has decided to actually do the project or not.

Even if one is merely considering or entertaining the possibility of getting stained/leaded glass done, it is HIGHLY recommended that they receive an initial complimentary consultation directly from our studio.

There are NO further obligations or strings attached. This is entirely for the benefit of the potential client.

There is a very specific reason for this recommendation, born out of many years of tried-and-true professional experience.

For one, it gives one the correct and proper technical information about structural stained/leaded glass and its applicability, feasibility and procedure, so that one is then actually able to make an educated decision regarding whether or not they wish to commission their project or not.

And, if one has decided they definitely want to commission such a project, the vital information given in the consultation saves one from incurring unnecessary expenses and other headaches.

Stained/leaded glass as a medium tends to be quite often misunderstood about its aesthetic values and artistic integration. These misconceptions, if they exist, get cleared during this consultation.

Using stained/leaded glass structurally, as in the form of windows, skylights or domes, has very key technical aspects and details about its process that are not broadly known. This necessitates proper coordination with other aspects of development or renovation so as to have the right prediction and the right planning so that actions can then be dovetailed in their right sequences and in a timely, cooperative manner.

If this is not done, it results in construction actions (e.g., drywall, painting, framing, electrical) that may need to be redone, dismantled or modified, which results in lost money and production time.

As Simon Simonian has professional knowledge and experience in both architecture and construction, he possesses unique qualifications as a stained/leaded glass artist/designer, so is able to correlate that and bring that expertise to the table, and thus offer the most optimum advice to prospective clients, property owners, contractors, superintendents, architects, interior designers and other building industry professionals and tradesmen.

Therefore, it behooves one very much to take advantage of the no-strings-attached complimentary consultations of Progressive Art Stained Glass Studio.
