Need Help Finding The Best Glass Scratch Remover?

Find the best glass restoration service

Established in 2005 as a construction best glass-scratch remover side business. However, we soon quickly grew after we continued to develop our tools and process and became faster, neater and reduced any distortion from minimal to none on certain resurfacing jobs, glass graffiti removal, depending on the severity of the damage.

Even deep scratched graffiti damage (from diamond) can have an acceptable amount of minor distortion if done properly. Anyone who claims they can do deep graffiti removal repairs without any distortion is stretching the truth. Most repairs that we have examined from other “scratched glass repair” experts have many flaws. Before choosing a glass restoration company, Here are a few things to look for when examining your scratched glass repair to make sure you got a good job.

When examining a completed glass-scratch repair, especially complete widespread glass resurfacing jobs, make sure you look up into the repaired area when there is adequate sunlight. You will most likely notice a crisscrossed pattern of fine scratches or swirls.

Other systems rarely spend the time needed to remove these nor do their methods remove these in a timely manner. They are caused either from the grinding process or most likely from the pre-polish phase which was either done too long or too fast. You also will probably notice haze and cloudiness. This is especially important if the glass is in your home.

Distortion will be more apparent in deeply scratched glass graffiti removal jobs. To check for distortion, look thru the glass at about a 45-degree angle. If you can see waviness at a 45-degree angle, it’s not a very good repair. If you see waviness of distortion looking straight through the glass, well, it’s pretty much a terrible repair. Your glass is basically ruined. The original scratches in your glass would have been less visible from 20 feet than the waviness and distortion would be.

If your windows get afternoon, early morning sun, or filtered sunlight, check the repairs in this type of lighting. This lighting shows up the haze and swirls especially well. This is especially bad if this is a home that needed window scratch removal. Many window scratch repair companies will show off their repairs in the best lighting, rarely direct or low in the sky lighting. However, lighting changes thru the day. Make sure you check your windows for quality of repairs from different angles and under the previously mentioned lighting types.

Most companies will try and show that there is no distortion from less than 3 feet away. However, distortion is much more noticeable from 10+ feet away. Make sure to check your scratched glass repairs from a good distance away. Distortion in the glass is a tricky thing to remove completely. It is virtually impossible to know if you’re looking at a high spot or a low spot. Usually, the best thing that can be done at this point is to minimize the severity of the distortion. We say, better to not put distortion in the glass at all!

We have been doing this for 17 years now. We actually enjoy it. We enjoy helping people utilizing a skill that was virtually unknown before we started fixing badly scratched glass back in 2005. Before that, only very fine scratches were able to be removed from the glass. Even then, it was a slow, noisy, and tedious process. Additionally, we don’t have to inflate the truth about what we can accomplish, or even about how many repairs we have completed, as one company we know of does.

We have a commendable track record, many satisfied clients. We have performed scratched glass repairs in some of the nicest homes I have ever had the pleasure to step foot in. We have restored glass in windows that had breathtaking views of the ocean in Laguna Beach, CA, the Rocky Mountains in Denver, Colorado, spectacular view of downtown Pittsburgh, PA. Million-dollar condos with views of the Chicago skyline. 25-year-old hard water damaged yacht glass. 7000 sq. ft. the complete glass resurfacing on a convention center in Biloxi, MS. 8500 sf of tempered glass resurfacing at the iconic football stadium in South Bend IN!

Therefore, if you find one scratch in one window in Southern California!, call us. We will give you a great result, friendly service, and at a fair price. Some companies take advantage of the damaged glass situation and try to “gouge” customers since they know they basically have only two choices; leave the damaged glass or pay 50% of the replacement cost to repair it.

We don’t condone this type of behavior. We have done some glass graffiti repairs that actually cost less than 5% of what it would have cost to replace the glass. The reasons we can be so affordable and competitively priced are the following. First of all, we make 95% of all the equipment we use. We are engineers at heart and have routinely figured out ways to perform scratched glass repair more and more quickly. Everyone else is just “using tools”.

While the others are getting good at “using tools” we developed 14 years ago, we have been honing our skills and improving the process. Whatever the situation calls for, we have adapted. If we’re working in a beautiful home, we can work extremely neatly. If the scratches are severe and deep, as in glass graffiti, we have tools now that allow us to grind the damage out evenly and much faster than anyone out there. Plus we have adjusted our polishing method also to be both faster and neater, which everyone seems to appreciate.

So, why are we writing this article? Honestly, because we want consumers to be educated in this relatively new industry. We have unfortunately been alerted to some unscrupulous individuals in the glass restoration industry. At the time of writing this, we were in Houston, TX looking at a 6700 sq. ft. laminated glass curtain wall covered with deep scratches. We came and did our demo at our own cost after a local company put significant distortion in about 9 sq. ft. of very expensive glass. We’re not going to mention their name or the system they used because it doesn’t matter. What matters is this. We have seen a very disturbing trend over the last year or so.

Unfortunately, there really aren’t any internet “police” and people can say whatever they want. They can make glass restoration claims that are untrue without any real recourse. We have, more times than I can remember, (actually, about 12) found pictures from jobs we have performed, displayed on another upstart company website.
