Tom Rowland

Owner

Hello neighbors! I’m Tom Rowland, owner of The Glass Guru of Gurnee since 2012.  I grew up in the Libertyville, IL area, went to Libertyville High School, and then college at ​​Trinity International University in Bannock, IL where I graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Management. Before transferring to Trinity International, I studied civil engineering at Purdue. While in college, I took a break and started The Glass Guru and graduated in 2016 with my degree while running our store. Before starting The Glass Guru, I did work for myself as a handyman, mobile detailer, and doing odd jobs throughout college. 

I started The Glass Guru because I enjoy helping others and wanted to  have a positive impact on my community.  What attracted me to The Glass Guru was the guru mindset and the support I receive from the Franchise Headquarters. I am extremely proud of the positive impact we have left on our customers, employees, and community.  What I like most about this business is I have an opportunity to help others in a construction-related field. 

Outside of work, I enjoy mountain biking, camping, and enjoying time with family.  My wife, Carly,  and I have a toddler named Colton and a baby boy due October 2022, and a Goldendoodle named Spice. On weekends you might find us on a bike trail, enjoying quality time with the family or church. 

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.

"Don't replace your windows. Replace the glass.

I reached out to Glass Guru to repair some 40 year old windows in my sister's townhouse.

Christina was extremely helpful and provided a reasonable quotation followed up by a replacement of the existing glass in about two weeks. She made this entire process easy and stress free.

We're very happy with the results shown in the photos.

Thank you Glass Guru!"

"Mike and Kyle were fantastic! They had a difficult situation with our very old and badly installed windows but they were very professional and did a beautiful job. Our windows look great now and we’re very grateful. Would definitely recommend them to anyone and will definitely use again! Thanks!"

"I'm always leery about installers, especially glass| window installers. I've had so many horrible experiences. I don't like having installers in my house, and I'm always worried about work product. Mike & Kyle installed sidelights to my outdated door system and they were amazing! And this was no easy job working with a doorframe that probably from the 80s. So helpful, honest and excellent workmanship! I highly recommend!"
