Frequently Asked Questions

If you have a question about glass repair that you would like answered that you do not see here, please feel free to send us an email. Here we have listed the most common questions asked about glass resurfacing.

Question: How do you remove the damage and polish the surface to make the glass look like new?

Answer: We use a series of high-speed rotating disks at several different grades of extremely fine abrasives to progressively remove the scratch or graffiti, widening the repair with each subsequent change of abrasive until finally we polish the glass surface to pristine clarity.

Question: How much does it cost to remove scratches or graffiti from glass?

Answer: It varies, but usually from 1/4 to 1/2 the cost of replacement. Generally the more glass you have to repair, the less per window, or area of damage, it will cost to restore.

Question: Does the process of scratch or graffiti removal weaken the glass?

Answer: A scratch on the surface of the glass actually causes a weak stress point. When the scratch is removed the stress point is removed as well, resulting in restoration of optimum strength for that pane of glass.

Question: Do you have to remove the glass to repair it?

Answer: No, that's one of the benefits of glass resurfacing, there is no need to remove the glass in order to renew the surface.

Question: Once graffiti caused from vandals is removed, what will stop them from vandalizing again?

Answer: When vandals begin to realize that property owners will not tolerate graffiti vandalism, they typically don't return because they don't like their "artwork" removed.

Question: How deep of a scratch can you repair?

Answer: We haven't found a scratch that we can't repair. The deeper the scratch, the more spread out we make the repair to avoid visible distortions on the surface.

Question: What kind of damage can be repaired?

Answer: Scratched or pitted glass, acid graffiti, calcium and mineral deposits from hard water, manufacturer defects, construction damage, all kinds of surface damage.
