Decades of Glass Scratch Repair in Thonotosassa Florida
Roughly three out of four jobs we complete are scratch removal — construction crews dragging equipment across new glass, cleaning crews using abrasive pads, razor marks on shower enclosures. The same mechanical polishing process that removes those scratches also removes the mineral deposits east Hillsborough's well water leaves on windows, showers, and sliders. We handle both on every visit, using mechanical polishing rather than the harsh acid treatments some cheaper services rely on — those chemicals work on the deposit, but they also work on the glass, and on the people in the room.

Locally Owned, Nationally Known
Being featured in a national trade publication isn't something you can buy your way into. Glass Magazine Sourcebook has listed Glass Restoration Inc. for three consecutive years running, and our restoration work has been featured editorially in USGlass Magazine and AGRR Magazine — coverage earned because an editor found the work worth writing about, not purchased. We also advertise in Hemmings Motor News, a natural fit given how much of our work restores glass on classic and collector cars. Between earned trade press and a targeted ad in a publication our classic car clients actually read, Glass Restoration Inc. has built a reputation that reaches well beyond Florida's Gulf Coast.
Our restoration work has also appeared, uncredited, on the cover of national automotive magazines — the cars featured belonged to owners and restorers who hired Glass Restoration Inc. to handle the glass before the car ever reached a photographer. We don't get named on the cover, but the glass that made the shot look flawless came from us.

We restore the glass you already paid for, on-site, in a single visit, at a fraction of replacement cost. If your glass is beyond what restoration can fix, we'll tell you that on the assessment call before you spend a dollar.
