If you have scratched windows, we can restore them, in most cases faster than they can be replaced, and usually for less money.
Repair Process
As a contractor, you have likely encountered scratched glass on your jobs before. Replacing glass can definitely cause headaches: long turnaround times; the need for multiple trades; scheduling with the homeowner or tenant; not to mention the high cost of the glass. Thankfully, this no longer has to be the case.
Our glass resurfacing technique can easily remove all types of job site damage, including stucco scratches, masonry & stone chip damage, window cleaning scratches… even welding slag & metal grinding damage! Whatever the cause, chances are we can restore your glass to its original condition with little disturbance to the home or building.
Acid graffiti, scratch graffiti, and water scale are problems commonly encountered in the building management field. Previously, building managers had only 1 option: replace the glass. Now, however, these issues can be easily and economically resolved with the glass polishing system we use.
We can’t quote an accurate resurfacing price without seeing the damage, but we’d be happy to arrange an on-site inspection or take a look at any pictures submitted by email. Estimates are free for Austin area builders and related trades/services. Cash, check, and all major credit cards are accepted.
We recognize you simply don’t have the time or the money to experiment with your high-dollar glass. That’s why Accent Glass Resurfacing has what we call an Ironclad Guarantee: YOU MUST BE FULLY SATISFIED WITH OUR WORK OR YOU PAY NOTHING. We have such confidence in the quality of our work that we consider this commitment to you a matter of pride.

Glass scratch repair involves removing scratches and surface damage from glass by means of a 3-phase grinding and polishing process. Phase one uses an abrasive grit matched to the severity of the damage, followed by phase two with a finer grit. A third and final pass with a specialized polish restores clarity to the glass.
Scratches within 1/2 – 3/4″ from the edge of the glass may not be repairable. Typically, chips, holes, and bubbles cannot be refinished.
There could be several things. In residential and commercial construction, scratches are often caused by razors, mortar, stucco, ladders, sanders, window production, window installation… the list goes on.
