August 17, 2021Rick did a really great job polishing out scratches on the window glass at our home. He showed up as scheduled, finished when he said he would and was always professional. He was very upfront about how the process would... read more work and the cost of the job. To be honest, I really hope I never have to go through this process again but if I need to, I’m calling Rick. Thank you for your hard work.

August 28, 2024Rick has THE BEST customer service! He saved the day under the wire and made the impossible happen for me. My family has a mom & pop shop in Noe Valley, San Francisco we desperately needed to fix... read more our window storefront in less than 24 hours in time for a CBS interview. I called every one in the San Francisco Bay Area (San Francisco, San Jose, the peninsula, and Sacramento) and understandably no one could open up their schedule to do the work in such a tight time frame. Less than 24 hours is tall order! I reached Rick earlier that day and I remembered how nice he was. All hope was lost, it was past 5pm and I had no one, but I called Rick again since I remembered how nice he was earlier that day. I made a second plea and he did me the huge curtesy of calling his friend, Don Leet, owner of Leet Glass Restoration in San Diego. That friend flew up to SF at 8:45pm that evening and started the work the next day at 7:30am in time to restore the window before my deadline. I couldn't have accomplished this in less than 24 hours without Rick's kindness. Even though he lived far away, he still offered an ear, glass education, and a fantastic solution to my problem. I appreciate him. He's a blessing to my family business even though we are far away. He is a great human being! Bless you big time dude!

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!

May 13, 2019The classic muscle car I'm restoring had some deep scratches in the passenger window and light scratches in one of the quarter glass windows. Everyone I talked to said that the scratches could not be removed and my only option... read more was to find replacement original or aftermarket glass. Unfortunately no one would guarantee that any original glass I could find would not come with scratches or to buy aftermarket class that while close to original still were not be an exact fit. Either option being extremely expensive. Then I discovered Unscratch the Surface. Rick Evans with Unscratch the Surface was able to do what everyone said couldn't be done. He did a phenomenal job in removing the scratches and polishing the glass for my classic car and at a fraction of the cost for what it would to replacing the glass. The glass was so clear that after it was installed you couldn't tell there was any glass there. I understand that Rick also does scratch removal for residential and commercial buildings from small to huge projects with glowing reports of the quality of his work. If you have any need to remove scratches or repair to any glass you need to contact Rick at Unsctatch the Surface. you can't beat the quality of his work. From Leoonard Wagner

March 6, 2024We 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.

With clients recently he repaired a 16 foot glass dining table with... read more scratches from many Sunday family dinner traditions seen. Instead of replacing at a very high cost, my client was ecstatic with the thought of repairing it like new for a fraction of the cost. Rick left the residence spotless, and clean as if no work had taken place, even though the dust created was expected. I would highly recommend his abilities and expert services to any future client.
