Glass restoration · scratches and etchingGlass Scratch Removal and Restoration
Light scratches, hard-water stains, paint and construction debris can often be removed from glass without replacing it. We restore glass in homes, storefronts and offices when restoration is the better choice, and tell you when new glass is needed.
What glass restoration can fix
- Light surface scratches and scuffs
- Hard-water stains and mineral deposits
- Paint, stucco and construction residue
- Light etching from cleaning chemicals
- Vandalism scratches on storefront glass
When restoration is not enough
Deep scratches you can feel with a fingernail, cracks, chips and fogging between panes cannot be polished out. In those cases glass replacement or a new sealed glass unit is the right fix. We look at the glass first and give you the honest option.
Homes and businesses
We restore glass on windows, shower doors, glass doors and storefronts. For businesses with scratched or tagged glass, see storefront glass and doors.
Glass restoration questions
Can scratches be removed from window glass?
Light surface scratches often can. Deep scratches that catch a fingernail usually need new glass.
Can you remove hard-water stains?
Yes. Mineral deposits and water spots can usually be removed and the glass restored.
Is restoration cheaper than new glass?
For light damage, yes. For deep scratches or large areas, new glass is often the better value. We will tell you which makes sense.
