Specialized glass restoration
Does your glass have Gota Seca?Cleaning is not always enough.
We assess mineral spots, scale, haze and cloudy glass to determine whether restoration is possible before replacement is considered.

The diagnosis changes the service
Surface soil and mineral damage are not the same.
Routine cleaning removes dust, grease, fingerprints and environmental residue. Gota Seca forms when water minerals bond to glass and remain after cleaning. Over time, they can create scale, haze and surface deterioration.
Gota Seca
Mineral deposits visible as white spots, haze or cloudiness.
Advanced damage
Long exposure that may have altered the surface of the glass.
That is why Gota Seca restoration is quoted separately from window cleaning.
Initial guidance
Three visible levels. One professional assessment.
Select the condition closest to your glass. This is guidance only; the final level is confirmed by inspecting the surface.
Initial recommendation
Level 2 · Moderate
We recommend a restoration assessment and a controlled test before defining the scope.
To begin, send:Close-up and backlit photos plus the likely water source.
Send this level on WhatsAppWe do not publish a generic price: quantity, size, access and glass condition change the treatment required.
Real evidence
The difference should be visible.
In this real image, affected panels retain a cloudy appearance while the treated panel recovers transparency. The possible result is confirmed case by case.
Restoration improves or recovers glass according to its condition. We do not promise an identical outcome in every case.Affected panelRestored panelSpecialized process
We understand the glass before treating it.
Each step reduces uncertainty and prevents us from treating restoration work as ordinary cleaning.
Receive evidence
We review location, photos, pane count, size and approximate length of exposure.
Assess the condition
We distinguish soil, mineral deposit and possible deterioration to set realistic expectations.
Treat in a controlled way
We apply the selected procedure for the level and glass type while protecting frames and nearby surfaces.
Validate and prevent
We review the clarity achieved and recommend how to reduce future mineral buildup.
Where it appears
Gota Seca affects more than windows.
Residential windows
Interior, exterior and high panes at premium residences.
Glass doors and façades
Entrances, storefronts, offices and commercial surfaces exposed to water.
Railings and enclosures
Exterior glass near rain, irrigation or water runoff.
Shower glass
Repeated mineral and water-residue buildup indoors.
After restoration
Prevention protects the result.
We recommend redirecting sprinklers that hit glass, preventing water from repeatedly drying on the surface and scheduling preventive maintenance—often every six months—based on exposure.

Frequently asked questions
Clear expectations before treatment.
Does routine cleaning remove Gota Seca?
Light Gota Seca may improve during cleaning, but bonded, old or widespread minerals require a separate restoration treatment.
Can every pane affected by Gota Seca be restored?
That cannot be guaranteed without assessing its condition. Recovery depends on exposure time, deposit intensity, glass type and surface deterioration.
Why do you not publish a fixed price?
Cost changes with the level, number and size of panes, access, required protection and actual glass condition. Quoting without those factors would be inaccurate.
Is the assessment free?
The initial assessment to determine whether the case may be a restoration candidate is free. We can begin with photos and the location through WhatsApp.
Is restoration included in window cleaning?
No. Routine window cleaning and deep Gota Seca restoration are different services and appear separately in the proposal.
How do I prevent it from returning?
Correct direct water sources, avoid months of mineral buildup and establish preventive maintenance based on the glass exposure.
Do you work at communities and commercial properties?
Yes. We coordinate schedules, access, work zones and documentation according to each property's requirements.
Free initial assessment
Before replacing the glass, find out whether it can be restored.
Send the location plus close-up, backlit and general-view photos. We will explain the next step required to assess the case correctly.
