How to tell if a glass company quote is fair or inflated

Short answer: get at least two quotes, make sure both specify the same glass thickness and hardware, and be wary of a quote that's dramatically lower than others — it often means lower-grade materials or hidden add-ons later.

Signs of a fair quote

Specific glass thickness and brand named, a clear breakdown of material vs labor, and a written warranty are all signs of a contractor confident in their work.

Signs of an inflated or shady quote

Vague line items, pressure to decide same-day, or a quote that avoids specifics until after a deposit is paid are all worth walking away from.
