A useful glass project assessment starts with context. A close-up may show a detail clearly, while a wider photo explains where that detail sits in the room. Sending both, along with a short description of what you want to change, helps Glass Rescue understand your request and identify the next questions.

Whether you are planning shower glass, a mirror, or a glass partition, this checklist can help you prepare a clear first inquiry without moving or handling any glass.

Tell us what you are planning

Start with your name, preferred contact method, and the project city or ZIP code. Describe the space and whether the request is for a new installation, replacement, or an assessment of an existing problem. For a business, mention the type of space and whether it will remain occupied during the work.

Include the result you want. “Replace the current shower enclosure,” “add a mirror above this vanity,” and “separate these two office areas” each give us a more useful starting point than a photo alone. If you have a target date, share it as a preference; availability and the project schedule still need to be confirmed.

Use an overall photo and a few labeled details

Begin with a view of the full opening, wall, or area. Add another angle if a fixture, corner, or doorway is hidden. Then include detail photos that explain your question. Simple labels such as “full wall,” “left side,” or “existing handle” make it easier to match each image to your message.

Use normal lighting and keep the original proportions of the space. Avoid filters or edits that hide edges or damage. Check that documents, faces, reflections of people, and other private information are outside the frame.

Which views help for each project?

Shower doors and enclosures

Show the entire shower or bathtub opening, the surrounding fixtures, and any existing door or panels. Mention whether tile work is finished and whether you prefer sliding doors, a swinging door, or a fixed panel. Our shower door page can help you describe the style you have in mind.

Mirrors and mirror walls

Photograph the full wall and nearby outlets, lighting, trim, counters, or equipment. Tell us whether an existing mirror needs to be removed as part of the project. For a room with several walls, label which wall you want covered. Share your intended use, such as a vanity, decorative feature, or exercise space, alongside any mirror preferences.

Glass partitions

Show both sides of the proposed division, including the floor, walls, ceiling area, and nearby doors. Explain how people need to move through the space and whether you want a door in the partition. If privacy is a priority, describe what you need rather than assuming a particular glass layout will provide it. See our glass partition services for project context.

Keep the photos safe and the dimensions preliminary

Take pictures only from a stable position and a safe distance. Do not touch cracked glass, move a panel, remove a mirror, loosen hardware, or climb to obtain a better angle. If a detail cannot be photographed safely, describe it instead. Keep people away from damaged or unstable glass while arranging professional help.

Include approximate dimensions only if you already know them or can provide them safely. State the units and label estimates clearly. Existing drawings may be helpful, but note if the room has changed since they were prepared. Photos and customer dimensions do not replace professional measurement or inspection before fabrication and installation.

Add the details a photo cannot show

Tell us about stairs, elevators, restricted access, unfinished surfaces, or coordination with a contractor or property manager. For an existing issue, explain what you noticed and when it began. You do not need to demonstrate a sticking door or repeat a movement that feels unsafe.

These details help define the scope of the first conversation. They do not guarantee that a final price, diagnosis, or installation plan can be confirmed remotely. We may need more information or a site assessment before the project can move forward.

Send a clear first inquiry

A helpful message includes your contact details, location, project type, desired result, overall photos, and any relevant detail images. Add safely known approximate dimensions and access notes if available.

Contact Glass Rescue to describe your project and confirm how to share your images. A little context at the start helps us discuss practical next steps for your space.
