Old Naples Glass Restoration
Old Naples is the historic heart of the city — a 1.5-square-mile neighborhood where beach cottages dating back to the early 1900s sit beside brand-new mega-mansions, all within walking distance of Third Street South and Fifth Avenue South. Naples' strict beachfront zoning keeps this stretch of coastline to single-family homes only, and that mix of historic and new construction means an equally wide mix of glass — original windows in century-old cottages, modern impact glass in new estates, and everything built or renovated in between.
Glass Restoration Inc. 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 renovation crew working on a century-old cottage or salt haze clouding a new construction slider, we restore the glass to its original clarity in place — no replacement crew, no dumpster, no multi-day install.
From a deep scratch to a fully polished finish — this is the complete restoration process, start to finish, on glass that looked like it needed full replacement. Watch how the original clarity comes back without a new pane. (0:52)
New Construction Meets Historic Preservation
Old Naples is one of the few Naples neighborhoods where a teardown-and-rebuild happens on the same block as a home preserved since the 1920s. Construction crews working on new estates routinely damage glass on neighboring older homes, and renovation work on historic cottages carries its own risk to original window glass that can't simply be special-ordered to match.
Beachfront and Bayfront Glass
With the Gulf on one side and Naples Bay on the other, Old Naples homes face constant salt air regardless of which side of the neighborhood they sit on. That exposure clouds glass steadily over time, and it's often mistaken for permanent damage when it's actually a straightforward restoration.
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)

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
Old Naples' salt air and irrigation-fed landscaping 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 Old Naples — 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 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.
