My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

    It's called back painted glass - According to kristie@addicted2decorating, "I contacted a local glass and mirror company, explained what I wanted to do, and they gave me an estimated price. My largest section will be about 18 inches by 10 feet long, and the price they gave me for that piece, 1/4-inch tempered and sanded smoothly on the edges, is $190. So if you're willing to do your own back painting, the price can be quite reasonable. Of course, if you need holes cut for outlets, light switches, etc., those extra cuts will increase the price.

    There's also a specialty paint available online for back painting glass, but it's quite expensive (about $275 for a gallon of paint plus catalyst). Just search for Glass Paint by GlassPrimer. And they can match the color to any color from any paint manufacturer."
