Services
Glass Repair & Replacement
Cracked panes, failed insulated glass units, and broken door glass are all in a day’s work for The Glass Guru serving Excelsior. We replace glass quickly and correctly using quality materials suited to your specific window or door.
Foggy Window Repair
Failed window seals cause fogging between panes. We replace just the glass unit—not the entire window—restoring clarity and performance at a significantly lower cost than window replacement.
Shower Glass & Enclosures
Our shower glass specialists design and install custom enclosures tailored to your bathroom. Choose from frameless, semi-frameless, or framed options, including sliding doors, hinged doors, and fixed glass panels. Premium hardware finishes available.
Window Restoration
Not every window needs replacing. Our Excelsior team restores older windows by repairing or replacing balances, hardware, seals, and sashes—extending the life of quality windows without full replacement.

FAQs
What should I do while waiting for glass repair?
If glass is broken, avoid the area to prevent injury. Cover openings with plastic or board if possible to protect against weather and security risks. Contact us promptly to schedule repair.
Do you offer financing options?
Financing availability varies. Ask about current options when you receive your quote.
Can energy-efficient glass really reduce my utility bills?
Yes. Properly installed insulated and low-e glass reduces heat transfer, helping maintain indoor temperatures and reducing the workload on heating and cooling systems.
What is safety glass and when is it required?
Safety glass, including tempered and laminated types, is designed to reduce injury risk if broken. Building codes require safety glass in specific locations such as doors, showers, and low windows.
How do I contact you for service?

Peter Bateman,
Owner
Hello neighbors! I’m Peter Bateman, owner of The Glass Guru of West Minneapolis since 2022.
I grew up in LeCreschent, MN, and went to college at the University of Minnesota Duluth. I now reside in Eden Prairie, MN since 2021. Prior to The Glass Guru, I gained valuable experience in customer service, sales, and business management working at The Glass Guru of Duluth for 5 years before deciding to purchase a The Glass Guru franchise of my own.
I started The Glass Guru because I enjoy having the ability to run and manage my own store and wanted to have a positive impact on my community. What I like most about this business is the ability to chase my dreams and help customers.
Outside of work, I enjoy fitness and gardening. My spouse of seven years, Danielle, and I have a Beagle/Lab mix named Mia and a Shih-Tzu/Bichon mix named Winnie. On weekends you might find me/us working out or spending time outside with friends and family.
It’s a great honor and privilege to have the opportunity to serve you and we hope to be the local glass shop you can trust and rely on for many years to come.
