Services
Window Glass Replacement & Repair
Damaged window glass compromises your home’s insulation, security, and appearance. Our East Boise team replaces broken glass quickly and installs high-quality single-pane, dual-pane, and insulated glass units to restore comfort and efficiency.
Foggy Window Seal Repair
A fogged window means the seal on your insulated glass unit has failed. We diagnose and replace the failed glass—restoring clarity without requiring a completely new window frame or sash.
Mirrors
We supply and install custom mirrors for bathrooms, entryways, bedrooms, and commercial spaces. All mirrors are measured on-site, cut to fit, and professionally mounted for a clean, precise result.
Custom & Decorative Glass
Our custom glass cutting service covers a wide range of applications—tabletops, cabinet inserts, shelving, display cases, and specialty shapes. Decorative options include frosted, tinted, textured, and etched glass.
Door Glass Repair & Replacement
From entry door glass to patio door panels, we handle glass repairs and replacements for every type of door. New decorative inserts can be added at the same time to update the look of any door.
Commercial Glass Services
We provide commercial glass solutions to businesses throughout East Boise—storefront glass installation and repair, commercial door glass, glass partitions, and safety glazing. Professional service on your schedule.
Pet Doors & Installations
A pet door set into existing glass is one of the cleaner solutions for homes where cutting through a wall isn’t practical. Our East Boise team sizes the opening to your pet and your glass panel, installs the door unit with proper framing, and finishes the surround so the result is tight, weatherproof, and visually clean.
Screen Services
We handle screen repairs and replacements for windows and doors throughout East Boise. Torn mesh, bent frames, missing screens, and non-standard sizing are all problems we solve on site. Custom screens built to fit unusual openings, and solar mesh available for high-sun exposures.
Shower Doors & Enclosures
Shower enclosures need to fit the space precisely to seal correctly and look right. Our East Boise team measures on site, fabricates the glass panels to exact dimensions, and installs frameless, semi-frameless, and framed enclosures with hardware that suits your bathroom’s existing finish and style.
Window Restoration & Upgrades
Windows with good bones don’t need to be replaced—they need the right repairs. Our East Boise team evaluates each window individually and addresses whatever is actually causing the problem, whether that’s a broken sash cord, failed weatherstripping, a damaged balance, or a compromised seal. Targeted repairs that restore full function at a fraction of replacement cost.
Wood Window Rot Repair
Frame rot is a structural problem that gets worse the longer it goes unaddressed. We assess the damage thoroughly, remove all deteriorated material, treat the exposed wood to stop further decay, and restore the frame to solid condition—so your windows close properly, seal correctly, and hold up going forward.
Your next step is simple. Contact The Glass Guru serving East Boise for a free consultation. We will assess your situation and provide clear options.

Benjamin Swett,
Owner

Hello. I’m Benjamin Swett, and I’m proud to serve the Boise, Idaho community as the owner of The Glass Guru.
Originally from North Highlands, California, I earned a degree in Management Information Systems from Sacramento State and went on to build a successful 28-year career in the mortgage industry. Starting in loan origination and eventually leading large sales teams, I gained extensive experience in customer service, sales leadership, and business operations. In recent years, I operated as an independent mortgage broker, focusing on delivering personalized, high-quality service directly to my clients.
As I looked toward the future, I saw a unique opportunity in the skilled trades—an industry with growing demand and a strong need for trusted providers. The Glass Guru stood out as a proven model backed by experienced leadership and a strong reputation. Having a personal connection to the brand and seeing its long-term success made the decision a natural one.
What I enjoy most about owning a Glass Guru franchise is the ability to take a respected brand and add a personal touch, building relationships while delivering real value to customers. Helping homeowners and businesses improve their spaces with reliable, high-quality solutions is incredibly rewarding.
Outside of work, I stay active year-round with snowboarding, mountain biking, distance running, offshore sport fishing, and golf. You’ll also often find me at live music events—concerts are a favorite pastime.
Thank you for the opportunity to earn your business. We look forward to serving you.
