About Glass Savers

Yes, scratches from tempered glass can be removed. Although harder than float glass, tempered glass is still susceptible to scratches. Glass Savers is experienced with tempered glass, which is required by code in most areas, so it's almost exclusively what we resurface.

Whether you have a sliding glass door scratched by pets or severe, deep scratch graffiti on your storefront windows, we can repair the damage back to like-new conditions with no visible distortion. Types of damage we fix include scratched glass, acid etched glass, severe hard water damage, post construction cleanup scratches, fabricating debris scratches, aquarium glass, and yacht glass.

Of course! Although we have never had to make a claim, we are covered up to $2 million. Please email to request a copy of our insurance certificates.

If it's made of glass, chances are it can be repaired. Everything from standard commercial storefront windows to bullet proof glass. Dual pane, annealed, tempered -- if it's glass and it's scratched, we can usually fix it.

Rates depend on a number of factors including what type of glass the damage is on, the size of the damage, the size of the glass, and location of damage. You can generally expect to save at least 50% over the cost of replacement. For graffiti removal, average cost is $250-300 per window, with a $500 minimum trip charge.

Of course! We guarantee to bring your glass back to factory new standards or better. We routinely resurface new glass before it's installed, and it's sold as new. If we can't restore your glass to new condition, we will let you know ahead of time.

Generally within 2-3 days for local jobs. For out of town work, please email or call for scheduling.

Most small 1-3 window repair jobs can be completed in under 2 hours, some take much longer depending on the severity and size of damage. Less severe damage like hard water stained glass resurfacing may only take 30-40 minutes per window. For large scale projects, please call or email with specifics for an estimated completion time.
