Hard water stain removal in Mission Hills.
Sprinkler spots and mineral etching removed from Mission Hills windows, doors and shower glass, with the original glass left in place.
Hard water, mature landscaping, and decades of it.
Mission Hills gets its water from WaterOne, which reported an average hardness of 135 mg/L in 2025 (2026 Water Quality Report). That's hard on the WQA and USGS scales even after WaterOne lime-softens it.
Homes here sit on mature, irrigated grounds, and the median home was built in 1953 (Census ACS 2020–24). Glass near beds and lawns has often been sprayed for years. Fresh spots wipe off; years of them bond to the glass and etch it.

The original windows stay.
Replacing a pane in an older home can mean matching sizes, profiles and glass that are hard to source. Restoration skips all of that: the glass stays in its frame, and we remove the deposits and polish out the etching where it sits.
Every job starts with an inspection and a test spot you approve before we do the rest.
Sprinklers and a clear coating.
- Aim sprinkler heads away from windows and doors.
- Follow WaterOne's Smart Watering advice: Tuesday, Thursday and weekends, about a quarter inch at a time, avoiding midday.
- Add a protective coating after restoration so new spots rinse off.

Hard water stain removal in Mission Hills: questions
Can you remove hard water stains from original windows?
Usually, yes. We inspect the glass and restore a test spot first, so you see the result on your own windows before we continue.
Why do the spots keep coming back?
Something is still wetting the glass, usually sprinklers. We'll point out which zones reach your windows so new spots stop forming.
Will a water softener help?
Inside, yes: WaterOne notes softened water means less spotting on hard surfaces, which helps shower glass. Sprinklers normally run on unsoftened water, so windows still spot.
