How glaziers bill
Charges per pane or per square foot by glass type and thickness, with a service-call minimum and higher prices for tempered or laminated safety glass.
Glaziers commonly use "50% deposit on custom glass, balance on installation". Custom-cut and tempered glass is made to size and cannot be returned, so a deposit at order is standard.
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, May 2024: median hourly wage of Glaziers $26.65 (employees, not contractor rates).
Glazier invoicing tips
- State that glass in doors, showers and near floors is tempered or laminated and note the safety marking, because codes require it and inspectors look for that etched stamp.
- Keep the emergency board-up separate from the permanent repair, since insurers often pay board-up under a different part of the claim and want it itemized.
- Tempered glass cannot be cut once made, so record that the customer approved the measurements and that remakes caused by changed sizes are billable.
- Record the glass unit's coating and spacer details, because foggy units are replaced under warranty only when the original unit can be matched.
Glazier billing disputes to head off
- Scratches or water spots noticed after installation are often blamed on the glazier. A note that the glass was inspected with the customer at handover settles most of these.
- Tempered glass lead times frustrate customers; writing the expected delivery date on the deposit invoice prevents chase calls and cancellations.
