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.

Exceptional Glass Restoration Service! 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. If you're looking for large glass panel restoration that delivers extraordinary results at a fair price, I wholeheartedly recommend calling Rick at Unscratch the Surface. His combination of technical expertise, work ethic, and honest business practices makes him the ideal choice for any glass restoration project, large or small. Glass Fix USA has worked with many restoration specialists over the years, but Rick Evans consistently stands out above the rest. - Scott Webster, Glass Fix USA

This guy (Rick) saved the day by repairing four massive deep scratches from the stone installation in a Montecito estate. Careless stone workers gouged the glass in many hard to access areas. The shower enclosure is 10 feet long;... read more 1/2 inch thick solid star fire glass with a stone bathtub in front of the glass. He came out and within a few hours he polished the scratches out and left the glass with no trace of damage. Once finished he saved us having to remove the stone, glass, plumbing fixture and bathtub which would have cost over $20,000. Thanks you again for saving our project!

We finally figured out why people ask this question.
Apparently, some shady glass restoration companies have attempted to "fill" the scratch with some type of resin or oily substance that only "hides" the scratches temporarily.
When we remove, resurface, and restore your scratched glass, those scratches are gone for good, guaranteed!
