Rick did a great job on windows I sent him for my Porsche restoration. I would not hesitate to use him again and recommend him unconditionally.

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!

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!

Rick is not only a gentleman but a master craftsman in his field. I’m so lucky I came across him because he’s a perfectionist and truly passionate about doing great work (a rare find). He’s the type of guy you... read more hope you got placed next to at the bar because not only will he tell you about the art of glass restoration but also some funny stories along the way. Rick completely fixed my Mercedes 1955 190 Sl glass (a car I only trust with the best). He’s a great guy and I’m extremely grateful. Thanks Rick!

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.

I had a scratched glass problem at my custom home in Puerto Rico - a large lake view window that had been badly damaged. I reached out to Richard from Unscratch the Surface for help, and even though it wasn't... read more a huge job, he was incredibly patient and professional throughout the entire process. He initially tried to arrange for one of his own technicians to fly out to handle it, but unfortunately, their schedule didn't work out.

Richard was a lifesaver. I had a remote project with multiple scratches on a large ocean view window. When we agreed on a day he was on time and able to remove the scratches in one day. I hope that I will not need him again but would surely call on him if needed. (Google 5* review)

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, Unscratch the Surface was contracted to this large scale project over several months. Local 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. (Google 5* review)

Rick Evans came to my aid on a project where it appeared hopeless to remove scratches from 8 grand worth of fire rated glass. Working tirelessly for several days he was able to remove all of the damage to the glass., saving my company thousands for replacement. (Google 5* review)

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. (Google 5* review)

Rick with Unscratch the Surface is a true craftsman. I have used numerous artisans and craftsman for my discerning clients, and Rick has been one of the best. With clients recently he repaired a 16 foot glass dining table with 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.

In my 30+ years of commercial building operation and maintenance, I have seen many attempts to remove scratches from glass, and graffiti from glass and windows. I have to say that Unscratch The Surface has, by far done the best work I have seen, in removing glass scratches, and graffiti from glass. Unscratch the Surface’s work leaves no distortion or residual swirl or haze marks of the initial damage. I have recommended Unscratch The Surface to friends and colleagues alike.

When Unscratch The Surface was called out to perform the glass scratch repair, there were glazers, consultants, superintendents and owners that were skeptical as to whether the glass scratches could be removed without distortion of the glass surface. Everyone was astounded to the results. Unscratch the Surface’s method of glass scratch removal was as cost effective as the results were clear. The scratches were gone. The cost of the removal of scratches verses the cost of replacement of glass, about 1 to 6 in savings. You would have to be a glass manufacturer or an installer to notice where the work was performed. Should the need for removal of glass scratches ever come up again, Unscratch The Surface will get the call. George Manley, Den-Mark Specialty Construction, Inc. – Tempe, Arizona

Thank you for the excellent glass graffiti scratch removal you completed at the Colorado Convention Center. At the beginning I was very skeptical. I had several companies come in and use a slurry machine, which left waves and distortion in the glass. I had also not seen the type of glass scratch removal you perform. When you came out to Colorado and completed the first pane of glass, I could not believe the quality of workmanship and the smooth result. Unscratch the Surface saved us the significant cost of replacing these windows. I had looked into replacing the glass due to the other vendors work leaving waves in the glass. Your short job completion time was also appreciated. We had over 50 panes of glass get vandalized and I had been told from other vendors it could take several weeks to months to take the scratches out of the glass. The work from Unscratch the Surface was done in just five days and the glass looked flawless. The glass looks like it had never been vandalized. You are a very courteous professional. I enjoyed working with you and Unscratch the Surface did a very good job, and I recommend your glass refinishing services for scratched glass. Tom Barnes, Colorado Convention Center – Denver, CO

Unscratch The Surface literally saved thousands of dollars by repairing 8 very expensive tempered French doors on our new custom home, that had been damaged in the construction process. I was completely astonished at the results. I could hardly believe it after seeing the results. Truly amazing work. I would recommend Unscratch The Surface to anyone with a scratched glass problem.

We had an extremely difficult glass scratch repair job at our construction school site which required the repair of a scratched tempered glass curtain wall of 35 panels. The job had to be done on off hours of school time and weekends and also needed to pass a stringent inspection of the repair due to the front entrance location. We were very happy with the quality of the work performed by Unscratch The Surface and highly recommend them for glass repair work. Beth Hansen, President – Mallcraft Inc., Altadena, CA
