Widespread Scratched Glass Resurfacing – 7000 sq. ft.

How we fixed 7,000 sq. ft. widespread scratched glass in 16 days!. 7,000 square feet of deep scratch removal tempered glass was completed in 16 days. All the glass was also cleaned and polished with our special glass protectant. We now treat all our completed glass restoration projects with it. While we did run into some scissor lift and boom lift issues. We still managed to complete this large tempered glass scratch removal project only one day off our target date. Yates Construction is a very large national commercial builder who was very pleased with the quality of our work.

More importantly, the owners of the Mississippi Coast Convention Center (MCCC) in Biloxi, MS were also extremely pleased. We will most likely be doing another smaller glass restoration project shortly for Yates construction. Some of the issues we had to deal with were waiting for the condensation to dry off before we started on a few days. Needless to say, we always can adapt and finish our large projects on the repair of widespread scratched glass on schedule. Our guys were averaging around 125 sq. ft. per day each. We lost a few men for a few days because of being ill. Also, we lost quite a lot of time because of the lift issues. The boom lift starter went out on Thursday and wasn’t working again until Monday!

When it comes to large commercial glass restoration projects, we know of no other company able to restore and resurface heavily scratched and damaged glass at anywhere near this rate. I have added some additional pictures that show the severity of how badly scratched this glass was.

How Fast Can Glass Be Resurfaced?

After six days, we were moving along well. We had a four-man crew with two rookies. Still, we are averaging about 100 sq. ft. per man per day. We made some adjustments after day three and are increasing our averages. We had a scissor lift die on us one day and ran into general slow down problems, which usually happens the first few days on these large scratched-glass repair projects. The grinding crew was averaging about 500 sq ft per day (250 ) while the polishing/cleaning 2 man crew is averaging about 420 sq ft per day (210 sq ft each).
