Audubon Country Club Glass Restoration
Audubon Country Club is one of the lowest-density gated communities in Naples — just over 400 homes spread across 755 acres, with more than half the land preserved as lakes and natural preserve. Unlike most builder-driven communities, Audubon homeowners purchase a lot and bring in the custom builder of their choice, within the community's architectural guidelines, which means the glass here comes from a wide range of builders rather than a single source. Whether it's a Club Side estate along US 41 or a Bayside home reaching toward Little Hickory Bay, the glass faces the same North Naples sun, salt air, and irrigation exposure.
Glass Restoration Inc. repairs and restores that glass on site — scratches, hazing, and hard water etching — without the cost or wait of a full replacement. Every job is held to ASTM C1036 optical clarity or better.
Scratches, Hard Water, and Mineral Deposits — All Restored On Site
Whether it's a scratch from a custom-home construction crew or years of irrigation overspray clouding a lanai slider, we restore the glass to its original clarity in place — no replacement crew, no dumpster, no multi-day install.
Inside an $11 million South Tampa estate, a scratched glass elevator floor looked like a full replacement was the only option. Watch how it was restored to its original clarity on site, without tearing out a single panel. (0:48)
A deep scratch across a high-end impact slider was quoted at $7,500 for full replacement. It was restored on site for $300 instead — the kind of outcome that protects both the glass and the budget. (0:13)
Custom Homes, Custom Builders
With no single builder controlling construction across Audubon, every home is its own project — and that means every home's glass has a different origin, different installer, and different construction timeline. Whichever builder is on site, a scratch found before closing doesn't have to mean a delayed sale or a replacement panel on order.
Club Side and Bayside Glass
Audubon splits into two distinct sections — the Club Side along US 41 and the Bayside reaching toward Little Hickory Bay — and both face the same combination of golf course irrigation, lake-adjacent humidity, and coastal salt air that clouds glass gradually over time.

Recognized by the Industry
Glass Restoration Inc. has been featured in the Glass Magazine Sourcebook three consecutive years, and interviewed by US Glass Magazine and AGRR Magazine. Every job we perform meets ASTM C1036 optical clarity or better — the industry benchmark for flat glass quality.
Hard Water and Mineral Deposits, Polished Away
Audubon's 28 lakes and irrigation systems leave a mineral film on glass that builds slowly and never wipes clean with standard cleaners. Sprinkler overspray and hard water etching cloud windows and sliders season after season until the glass looks permanently dull. Glass Restoration Inc. polishes those deposits away on site, restoring true optical clarity without replacing the glass.
A Neighbor, Not an Out-of-Town Opportunist
Glass Restoration Inc. is a short drive up the coast from Audubon Country Club — not dispatched from a call center in another part of the state. Barry, Stanton, and Skyeler got their start in Sarasota County, building custom homes under Barbas Building and Designs, a design-build company. The glass scratch repair skill Barry developed solving his own job sites' problems in 2005 became its own company in 2009, once other builders started asking for the same fix. When you call a local family business, you're not getting a technician who'll be gone by next season — you're getting a neighbor who has a reputation to protect in this community.
Continuous Since 2005, No Gaps
Glass Restoration Inc. has operated continuously since starting in 2005 under the parent company Barbas Building and Designs, Inc., and spinning off as Glass Restoration, Inc. in 2009, with an unbroken corporate record — the same company, the same name, the same ownership, every year since. That matters more than it sounds like it should. In an industry where companies open, close, rebrand, and reopen under a new name every few years, an unbroken filing history is proof of stability a homeowner or builder can actually verify — not just a claim on a website. Not every company calling itself a glass restoration specialist in Naples can say the same.
