Surface damage

Everything that happens to glass after it's installed.

On new construction, windows go in early and the house is finished around them. Paint, caulk, stucco, sparks and debris all end up on the glass, and the final clean with razor scrapers can add fine scratches on top.

On older glass, it's years of weather, pitting from blowing grit, and cleaning with the wrong tools. Either way, the damage is on the surface, and the surface can be restored.

For builders

Pass the walkthrough.

We restore damaged new glass on site before the final walkthrough, so there's no reorder, no lead time and no pulling windows out of finished trim.

Prevention

Fewer scratches next time.

  • Keep protective film on new glass until the last trade is done.
  • Soak and rinse before scraping; never scrape dry, gritty glass.
  • Cover glass during grinding, sanding and spraying.

FAQ

Questions we get

Who usually pays for scratched glass on new construction?

It depends on your contracts and which trade caused it. Restoring is usually far cheaper than replacing, which makes that conversation easier.

Can scratched tempered glass be repaired?

Often, yes. We inspect it and do a test spot first.

Can you work on several homes for one builder?

Yes. Send photos, addresses and closing dates.
