Scratched glass in Florida

Busch Gardens, Florida.
We are underway on a restoration project at Busch Gardens, Tampa, for the new Penguin exhibit. This exhibit was formerly the Otter exhibit. Otters are very damaging to glass, due to their habit of shell cracking. Where they would normally lay a stone on their stomach to crack open oysters or abalone, they were fascinated by the hardness of glass, thus nearly destroying their own exhibit. We are currently repairing the scratched glass for the future penguin exhibit opening in December, 2014.

Four Seasons glass repair

The crew on the 16th floor balcony

Working on the new Four Seasons Resort in Orlando Florida

Stunning new resort ended up with a bunch of scratched glass from improper cleaning techniques. We also found pitted glass from tile setters saw. Those guys need to protect the glass behind the saw. Being stupid is very expensive. Wake up guys! There is more to think about than the job you are doing.

Customer reviews for Glass Restoration services

Here's a review from yesterday :

All too often we are prone to comment on what we perceive to be the failings of service vendors who don't "measure up".  In this case I do believe Glass Restoration did  the job and did it well!  Thus, I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to avail themselves of their service.

Respectfully,

William J. J.

One sloppy sub can make a builder look bad.

I learned this the irritating way, and I see it happen again and again. A builder does a great job of building a home, only to have a sloppy sub ruin the glass. Fortunately, I also learned to fix scratched glass. It saved my rear on a big Siesta Key job, then I put the skills to work for others. I have come to realize that people are not going to stop scratching glass, because it is so easy to do, and slowing down to do their work right is not competitive. Glassrestoration@gmail.com

Silicone staining on butt glass windows

We polish stains from Glass. The joints on butt glass windows have to be sealed, and it is usually clear silicone that is used. Cleaning excess silicone is harder than it looks. Left over silicone shows up later and needs buffed off.
