After reading through this blog, you’ve decided that 2019 is going to be the year you finally take the plunge and order a glass countertop, tabletop, or other item from CGD Glass Countertops. We’re so glad to hear you’re making this decision, as we’re sure it’s one you’re going to be pleased with for years to come. With our range of customization as well as our reputation for stellar customer service, you’re in the right hands.

There’s just one thing stopping you from getting started right away: money. That’s certainly understandable, considering the oft-expensive holiday season just passed. If you have your sights set on a new glass project with CGD Glass Countertops this year, here are some handy budgeting tips.

Be Realistic

While you may want your glass project tomorrow, if that’s not financially feasible right now, then it’s not financially feasible right now. You have to create a realistic timeframe for which the project can be ordered and then completed. The year has just started, after all, so there’s no need to rush. You have 11 more months to get your glass project the way you want it.

Get a Quote

At CGD Glass Countertops, we can provide you a quote if you contact us via our website. The more information we have about your project, including measurements and blueprints, the better. If you have any drawings that can further illustrate what your dream glass project looks like, that helps us, too.

We’ll formulate a quote and get it to you fairly quickly from there. Once you receive the quote, you can begin planning the next phases.

Start Saving

Namely, the next phase you’re going to want to focus on is saving money. Depending on what the quote is, you might be able to set aside some money over the next few months and have enough for your glass project after six or seven months. If you have a spouse, you can ask them to save as well so you can get closer to your goal sooner.

Cut Back

You know the saying that money saved is money earned, right? It’s true, especially if you’re trying to stick to a budget. Track every expense for a few weeks, from small things like Starbucks runs to bigger ones like paying bills. Then, see what’s extraneous and can be cut out for the time being.

We’re not recommending you strip your life of anything and everything fun, but every dollar you set aside puts you nearer the completion of your glass project with CGD.

Consider Financing

If the project is of a bigger or more expensive scope than anticipated, you can always look into your financing options. Taking out a short-term or long-term loan will help bridge the gap between the money you saved and the money you still need for your glass project. As the project is being completed, you can begin repaying the loan.
