I've been in the glass restoration industry since 2010, and I can confidently say that Rick Evans at Unscratch the Surface is among the best in the business. Our paths crossed early in my career, and Rick... read more was immediately supportive and encouraging, despite us technically being "competitors" in the same field. Over the years, we've collaborated on numerous large-scale projects, including the impressive Trinity College restoration in San Antonio, TX, and the luxurious ShangriLa Hotel in Toronto, Canada. Working alongside Rick gave me firsthand experience of his exceptional work ethic - this man outworks virtually everyone I've encountered in the industry. What stands out most about Rick is his meticulous attention to detail. He's a true perfectionist when it comes to glass restoration, leaving no imperfection untreated. The results speak for themselves - damaged glass panels that look absolutely new again when he's finished with them. What I appreciate most about Rick is his generosity with knowledge and assistance. In an industry where many guard their techniques and contacts, Rick freely offered help whenever I needed it. He taught me a valuable lesson: competitors can actually be friends and support each other. This philosophy speaks volumes about his character. On a personal note, Rick's actually quite the golfer too! But more importantly, he's simply a genuinely good person who takes pride in his craft and treats clients with respect.

    ABSOLUTLY AMAZING WORK!!!! WORTH EVERY PENNY!!! I had cleaned my car a few weeks ago and totally messed up my front windshield. I tried everything I could find online to fix it (vinegar/water, Ajax, dish soap, Pinkstuff, glass cleaner, and glass... read more polish) and NOTHING worked. I hit a wall and I needed a professional to help me. I was unbelievably LUCKY to find Rick and his business. The man is a wizard with glass repair and he as an eye for imperfections that are only visible to a experienced professional. My car went from horrible distortion and very difficult to see through to crystal clear vision in a few hours. Rick did a great job of scheduling time for my project and explaining the process while he was working. SUPER awesome dude and SUPHERB service at a GREAT price. There is a reason why he has great reviews.

    We saved several thousand dollars by choosing to have Richard refurbish 2 large panes of glass as opposed to replacement. Richard was very competent and was able to explain to our customer the process and expected results.

  • Rick is the best. Removed some tricky scratches in some floor-to-ceiling windows and some deeper scratches in some shower glass for us. Perfect results - No more scratches and no visible distortion in the glass. Highest recommendation!

    Rick was referred to us from a glass consultant for a large scale repair job on some stadium glazing. After performing a successful mock up/demonstration, Unscracth the Surface was contracted to this large scale project over several months. Local... read more union labor was utilized to complete the process with Rick providing general overview, materials and onsite training. The repairs were successful, with the quality consistent throughout the entire scope.

    We are a roofing company in Ventura and accidentally damaged a window during one of our tear-offs. I had a heck of a time trying to find someone that would even come and take a look. Then I just happened... read more upon Unscratch The Surface. Rick was on time to our first meeting and assured me that he could repair the scratches in the glass without having to replace the window. We scheduled a day to do the repair and Rick came through! Beautiful work at a fair price! My customer was happy and Rick made me a happy customer too! Thank you Unscratch The Surface!

Why Contractors, Builders, and Collectors Trust Unscratch the Surface to Restore What Others Won't Touch

Unscratch the Surface developed the best patented glass scratch removal process in the industry — a distinction earned through decades of refinement, not imitation. Rather than relying on off-the-shelf abrasive and polishing discs, we engineer and adapt our own compounds and techniques for each unique project. The result is unmatched speed, precision, and a standard of glass resurfacing and refurbishment that competitors consistently attempt — and consistently fail — to replicate.

What Sets Unscratch the Surface Apart: Our Commitment to Flawless Glass Restoration

How Do We Achieve Results Others Say Are Impossible?

Our process is built on 20 years of field experience, proprietary technology, and an uncompromising standard of quality. Here is what distinguishes us from every other glass restoration company operating today.

1. Our Own Patented Process — Developed, Owned, and Continuously Refined by Us

Our glass scratch removal process is the only one of its kind protected by a U.S. patent. While others have attempted to reverse-engineer our methods, the precision and consistency we achieve come from years of proprietary development that cannot be replicated off a shelf. When the integrity of your glass — or your project’s bottom line — is on the line, you want the originator, not an imitation.

2. Custom-Engineered Techniques Tailored to Every Project

No two glass restoration challenges are identical. A curtain wall on a 12-story commercial build, a hand-fabricated windshield on a 1971 classic, and the salon windows of a 60-foot yacht each demand a fundamentally different approach. We continuously develop and refine our abrasives, polishing compounds, and application methods to match the specific glass type, damage depth, and performance standards each project requires. Precision is not a goal — it is our baseline.

3. Two Decades of High-Stakes Project Experience

Since 2005, Unscratch the Surface has completed glass restoration work across 27+ U.S. states and four countries, on projects ranging from iconic commercial landmarks to private estates and rare collector vehicles. That depth of experience — over 100,000 square feet of glass restored — means we have encountered virtually every form of glass damage imaginable and developed proven solutions for all of it. Our clients trust us with irreplaceable glass precisely because our track record speaks for itself.

4. The Industry’s Only No-Distortion Guarantee

Distortion-free results are not a marketing claim — they are a guarantee. Unscratch the Surface is the only glass restoration company in the industry to offer a formal No-Distortion Guarantee. For custom home builders protecting million-dollar views, contractors managing punch lists on high-visibility facades, and collectors preserving irreplaceable original glass, this commitment eliminates risk entirely. If your view matters, the standard must be absolute.

5. Deep Specialization in Commercial and Construction Glass

Glass restoration is our singular focus — not a sideline service. We specialize in the full spectrum of construction-related glass damage: post-construction scratch removal, fabrication debris resurfacing, curtain wall restoration, and high-rise tempered panel refinishing. Commercial contractors and general contractors across the country rely on us to resolve glass damage quickly, cleanly, and at a fraction of replacement cost — often saving clients $50,000 to over $700,000 per project.

6. Technicians Trained to the Highest Standard in the Field

Every technician we deploy is trained specifically in our proprietary resurfacing methods — not general glass work. They arrive on-site prepared to assess damage accurately, work efficiently within active construction or occupied environments, and deliver results that meet the exacting standards our clients demand. We treat your schedule, your property, and your clients with the same professionalism you bring to your own work.

7. Purpose-Built Tools and Solutions for Complex Restoration Challenges

When a project presents a challenge that standard equipment cannot address, we build the solution ourselves. From curved architectural glass and laminated heritage windows to vintage automotive glass and yacht pilot house panels, we have developed proprietary tooling specifically for the jobs others decline to take. Our reputation as meticulous perfectionists is not an accident — it is the product of refusing to accept “close enough” as an outcome.

8. Comprehensive Capability Across Every Glass Type and Application

Whether the project involves tempered curtain walls, laminated safety glass, reflective commercial facades, classic car windshields, or marine pilot house windows, Unscratch the Surface has the expertise and equipment to restore it to original clarity — without replacement. Our work is permanent: scratches are removed, not concealed. What we restore stays restored.

The Standard We Hold Ourselves To: Glass that looks as though the damage never occurred. Every project. Every time.
