Unfortunately, finding a glass restoration and repair service that you can trust can be a daunting experience. Not only can it be difficult to find someone who is capable of doing this type of work, but it can also be a bit frightening to hand over your prized piece of glass art. After all, the last thing you want is for your item to come back in worse condition than when it left.

For these reasons, there are a few things you should look for when hiring a glass repair service:

  • Experience - In general, the more experience the glass repair artist has, the more likely he or she will be able to provide you with a quality service.
  • Technique - Ask the glass repair artist how he or she plans to repair the item. To get the best results, the artist should take measures to permanently remove the damage from the piece rather than simply covering it up whenever possible.
  • Artistic Ability - Repairing antique pieces requires just as much artistic skill as it does technical knowledge in order to seamlessly blend the design and color of the piece when making a repair.
  • Specialization - Ideally, you should work with a glass artist that specializes only in glasswork, repair, and restoration. That way, you can be certain the artist has the skill and passion required for this type of work.
  • Examples - Before hiring an antique glass repair and restoration service, ask to see examples of restored pieces the artist has completed and ask to see references you can call upon.
  • Honesty - When looking for a glass repair artist, it is best to work with someone whom you are comfortable with and who you feel communicates well with you. Someone who you believe will provide an honest assessment regarding your piece. Some pieces simply cannot be restored completely, but repair may be possible.

By keeping these things in mind when searching for an antique glass restoration and repair service, you can be more certain to get the great results you are after. Contact our glass art repair and restoration experts today.
