Arvada Stained Glass for Old and New Homes

Arvada has historic streets around Olde Town and plenty of newer neighborhoods. That mix means Arvada stained glass projects range from repairing original windows to adding custom glass to a newer build.

Stained Glass Ideas for Older Arvada Homes

Repair and Restoration

Original stained glass with cracked pieces or sagging lead can often be repaired or releaded.

Bringing Empty Frames Back

Many older homes have a frame where stained glass used to be. Steve can design a new piece to fit it.

Period-Style Designs

Jewel borders, beveled centers and soft florals suit Olde Town Arvada homes and their glass.

Transoms and Half-Round Windows

Curved and high openings are natural places for art glass.

Stained Glass Ideas for Newer Arvada Homes

Front Door Inserts

A door conversion adds decorative Arvada door glass to the door you already have, typically installed in just over an hour.

Sidelights, Bathrooms and Stairwells

Textured and stained glass add privacy where homes sit close together.

Modern Designs

Geometric lines and clear textures suit contemporary builds.

How Steve Works

You're part of the design from the first conversation. Steve's signature technique combines copper foil with leaded glass for a painted look, and he'll give you honest guidance on whether to repair, restore or start fresh.

Getting Started

Send a few photos of the opening or the existing glass, rough measurements and any ideas you have. For repairs, close-ups of the damage help Steve understand what the piece needs. For new work, inspiration photos or a favorite color are a great place to begin, and the design comes together from there.
