Orange County Glass Restoration: Restore Scratched or Etched Glass

Common everyday windows may become scratched and although etching sounds good that is not the type of damage we refer to here. We refer to the damage on glass that you want removed and there are companies who claim they have the knowledge to do the job properly. In many instances your glass will have a white finish or other distortions, and the company actually caused the damage.

Many windows become damaged in transit and the window company will not guarantee against this unless they transport it. Other times construction companies are careless regarding the glass that they install before the completion of the building.

One of the most common and may be the hardest to restore is the graffiti glass on large commercial buildings. Acid-etched graffiti, common in almost every city, proves to be less effective removal, and that’s why they use it, they don’t want their artwork removed.

To claim that it’s easy and cheap to fix may be true in only one way. It is cheaper than replacing the entire window, but not easy or cheap. Some companies charge in the neighborhood of $100 per window to remove the etching and that is the starting figure.

Your best bet is to find a company who has the latest equipment that helps in bringing the glass back to its former beauty. They remove the unsightly scratches permanently without leaving the window with waviness or other imperfections.

Glass is made of organic soft material and is susceptible to damage during its entire life and when the damage occurs, a professional company finds it easy to spot.

They identify the type of damage and tell you how and if they can repair it.     
     
Anytime you hire a company to do work of any kind in your home or business, make sure they are reputable and will do what they claim. Never pay a company up front, you may have to pay a down payment, but pay the remainder of the fees when the job is complete. Always ask for references, and make sure they have a permanent place of business.

Hiring someone off the street and paying them up front because they’ll have to buy materials to do the job, is a mistake. Don’t fall for it. There are companies that have the proper equipment to clean your damaged glass. They can’t compete with the prices you receive from that guy on the street so expect to pay more for a job well done.
