How The Restoration Process Works
Most projects begin with a quick photo estimate.
1. Send Photos
Email or text photos of the damaged glass. Most estimates can be provided within hours.
2. Damage Evaluation
I determine scratch depth and recommend repair or replacement if restoration is not ideal.
3. Restoration
Using professional resurfacing equipment, scratches and damage are removed without distortion.
4. Crystal Clear
Your glass is restored to optical clarity at a fraction of the replacement cost.

- No Distortion: Dedicated professional resurfacing, guaranteeing crystal clarity.

San Diego, CAFrequently Asked Questions
Can scratched glass be repaired?
Yes. Professional glass resurfacing removes scratches and restores optical clarity without replacing the glass. By grinding the surface down uniformly and polishing it, I eliminate the damage completely.
How much does scratched glass repair cost?
Most projects cost 50–80% less than full glass replacement depending on scratch severity and glass size. My minimum starts at $500, with projects averaging $25-$35 per square foot.
Does glass scratch removal leave distortion?
Not when done correctly by a professional. Basic DIY kits can leave "fun house" waves or low spots, but my proprietary process blends the repair area seamlessly to guarantee distortion-free clarity.
