Palo Alto Glass Resurfacing Job

Palo Alto California, at a prestigious new medical center. Only weeks before opening day scratched glass was discovered, lots of it! To make matter worse, not only was replacement of the glass impossible in time, neither was scratch removal (resurfacing) using most available methods.  There was no room for error or taking chances, as almost all of the glass involved is extremely large,thick, curved, and imported from Europe. It had to come out right the first time, and would be critically and painstakingly inspected by everyone including the architects. Lastly, there was a strict deadline. 

Obviously Glass Savers was chosen for the job, this is where we shine.  The next challenge came on day 1… We found out that double the amount of glass was to be added to the list, but the deadline would remain! We’d have to move twice as fast.

We’ve done this long enough to know what sorts of “unforeseen” challenges may be hiding in each project and we came “over” prepared.   This allowed us to immediately adapt on the spot and still finish the job 1 day early. Needless to say everyone was equally surprised and thrilled, with reason too, hundreds of thousands of dollars were saved on this one.

Scratched glass like this is generally thought to be permanently ruined, requiring replacement.

Good news… Not only can the glass usually be saved, but Glass Savers can remove the scratches with virtually zero sign of repair. This is something many claim, but very very few deliver. Actually, often we’re told that the resurfaced area look and feel BETTER and more smooth than the brand new untouched portion of the glass.

Make sure whoever you are considering to resurface your glass has plenty of Before/After photos and videos, references from happy customers and carry proper liability insurance.  They should also be willing to do a demonstration on a portion of your glass before you commit to a large project.

When you need your glass resurfaced to as close to perfect as possible, call Glass Savers.


As you can see, we were able to get the scratches out, and without leaving any noticeable optical distortion or obvious sign of repair.

Over the years, we’ve run into countless scenarios like this one, where our client was told by the “other guys” that the scratches couldn’t be removed.   Not only are we able to remove the scratches that no one else can 9 times out of 10, but we do it without leaving behind all of the obvious signs of repair that are common with most other glass “repairs”

When you need glass resurfacing, and you need it done right, we are the only ones you need to call.

Don’t take our word for it though, in addition to the largest online gallery of previous jobs we’ve done, we also offer no-obligation demos of our services because we know you’ll be thrilled with the final result we deliver.
