How is Stained Glass Repaired & Restored?

Over the years, we’ve fine-tuned our process and developed a precise technique for repairing and restoring stained glass that is broken, deteriorated, or damaged. Our repair and restoration methods usually follow the following process:
Inspection: We like to evaluate and examine the glass closely to see what damage has been done and what next steps need to be taken.
Replacement and reinforcement: If your stained glass has pieces that have large cracks or extensive damage, they may need to be replaced. We will make sure that we select the appropriate color and texture to match the original design. If the leading and mudding have deteriorated, your glass may need to be re-leaded. If necessary, we have the ability to take apart an entire piece of glass, reassemble it, and reinforce the leading.
Cleaning: Over time, stained glass can develop a buildup of dirt, pollution, soot, smoke, or grime that reduce the amount of light that shines through the glass. We will determine what type of cleaner is safe to use on your glass and restore it to its original color and shine. If your glass is painted, we will evaluate the stability of the paint to make sure that cleaning is appropriate.
