The Hidden Costs of Choosing the Cheapest Glass Bid

It’s a story we hear all too often in Georgia: a homeowner or builder chooses a glass contractor based on the lowest quote—only to discover too late that the real cost was far higher.
At Apex Glass Industries, we understand the importance of staying within budget. But we also know that when it comes to custom glass, cutting corners doesn’t just compromise the final look—it puts safety, durability, and your entire project timeline at risk.

Here’s what many don’t realize until it’s too late:
1. Poor Installations Can Cost You Twice
Inexperienced or rushed installers may use the wrong hardware, drill in the wrong locations, or skip essential steps during alignment and sealing. These shortcuts can lead to panels shattering, leaks, damage to tile and surrounding finishes—or worse, injury and structural issues.
The Apex Difference: Our experienced in-house team handles every step with care, using precision tools and proven methods to ensure long-term performance and flawless functionality the first time.
2. Cheap Hardware = Short-Term Results
Not all hinges and clamps are created equal. Some companies use uncertified or imported hardware with weak finishes and no durability testing.
The Apex Difference: We use certified, structural-grade hardware with proven longevity and finish options that elevate your space’s design.
3. Low-Quality Glass Doesn’t Age Well
Standard glass may have a green tint, more impurities, and lack protective coatings—leading to discoloration or haze over time.
The Apex Difference: We use high-quality, structural-grade tempered glass for all projects, with optional upgrades like low-iron ultra-clear panels, hydrophobic glass, and smoked glass. It’s lasting performance and elevated clarity—bringing true luxury within reach.
4. No Guidance = Design Mistakes
The lowest bid often comes with the least advice. Misplaced hinges, oversized gaps, or limited layout options can hurt the functionality and aesthetics of the final install.
The Apex Difference: We don’t just install—we advise. From layout planning to hardware selection, we help ensure the design serves both form and function.
5. No Warranty, No Support
When issues arise, low-cost providers may avoid follow-up or offer no warranty support, leaving you with no recourse.
The Apex Difference: We stand behind every installation with transparent communication, full documentation, and warranty-backed work.
