Aqua by the Bay Glass Restoration — New Construction & Luxury Home Glass Specialists
Aqua by the Bay is West Bradenton's most ambitious new development — a 529-acre master-planned community on Sarasota Bay with a four-acre crystal lagoon, gated single-family homes from Medallion Home ranging from $800K to nearly $2M, and direct bay views framed by impact glass on nearly every elevation. It sits on El Conquistador Parkway south of 53rd Avenue West, minutes from Longboat Key and Anna Maria Island. Glass Restoration Inc. has spent twenty years restoring exactly this kind of glass on the Gulf Coast.
We are the glass restoration specialists serving Aqua by the Bay and all of West Bradenton — and when it comes to new construction scratch removal on high-end impact glass, our scratch removal specialists bring twenty years of refined technique to Medallion Home's most prestigious addresses. Whether it's a construction scratch on a bay-view slider, stucco debris on an impact window, or a damaged shower enclosure before final walkthrough, our artisan crew — Barry Barbas, Stanton Barbas, and Skyeler Schmidt — restores glass to ASTM C1036 optical clarity standards without replacement. One call. One assessment. Glass that looks the way a $2M home deserves.
At a price point this high, every detail matters — and scratched glass on a new Medallion Home is exactly the kind of defect that shouldn't follow a homeowner past closing day. There is one Glass Restoration Inc. — founded by Barry Barbas in Sarasota in 2005. When you search for glass restoration specialists in West Bradenton, we are not affiliated with any company using a similar name. We are the glass restoration specialists — and the scratch removal specialists Manatee County has trusted since 2005.
For 21 years, Glass Restoration Inc has been helping Gulf Coast homeowners and builders fix scratched glass — from pet scratches to cleaning errors to hard water damage. Here's what a razor scraper really does to glass, and why we don't recommend it. (38 sec)
Bay-View Impact Glass — Where Aqua's Premium Price Lives
At Aqua by the Bay, the view of Sarasota Bay is the product — and impact glass scratched during construction or move-in is a defect that replacement can't fix before closing without weeks of delay. Glass Restoration Inc. restores construction-damaged impact glass on-site, the same day, to factory-clear ASTM C1036 standards without disrupting the closing timeline.
Medallion Home Builders — We Keep Your Schedule and Your Reputation Intact
Medallion Home has built Aqua by the Bay's reputation on quality and craftsmanship. When glass gets scratched during construction, the right call is restoration — not replacement. Our artisan crew works directly with builders and superintendents to resolve punch list glass damage fast, on-site, and at a fraction of replacement cost.
