Services

Glass Repair & Replacement

Broken or damaged glass affects your home’s comfort, security, and appearance. The Glass Guru serving Hillsborough replaces window glass of all types—single-pane, double-pane, and insulated glass units—with quality materials and professional installation.

Foggy Window Repair

Foggy glass between window panes signals a broken seal. We replace the failed glass unit and restore clear, efficient windows—a targeted repair that costs far less than replacing the entire window.

Door Glass & Glass Inserts

We repair and replace glass panels in all door types, including entry doors, patio doors, French doors, and sliding glass doors. We also install decorative door glass inserts to add character and natural light to any entryway.

Mirrors & Custom Glass

From precisely measured bathroom mirrors to large decorative wall mirrors, we cut, finish, and install mirrors for any application. Custom glass cutting is also available for tabletops, furniture, shelving, and specialty projects.

Decorative Glass

Add privacy, texture, or visual interest with decorative glass. We offer frosted, tinted, textured, and etched glass options for windows, doors, cabinet inserts, and architectural features throughout Hillsborough.

Commercial Glass Services

Storefront glass, office partition glass, commercial door glass, and safety glazing—our commercial team keeps businesses in Hillsborough running safely and looking professional. We work efficiently to minimize downtime.

Pet Doors & Installations

A pet door cut directly into glass is cleaner and more secure than most alternatives. We handle installations in sliding glass doors, patio doors, and windows throughout Hillsborough—sizing the opening correctly, fitting the unit, and finishing every edge so the result is solid and weather-tight.

Screen Services

We take care of screen repairs and replacements for windows and doors of all sizes across Hillsborough. Whether you need a single screen rescreened or a full set of custom screens built for non-standard openings, we measure on site and get the fit right the first time.

Shower Doors & Enclosures

Glass shower enclosures require accurate measurement and careful installation to seal and operate correctly. Our Hillsborough team handles the full process—site measurement, glass fabrication, hardware selection, and installation—for frameless, semi-frameless, and framed enclosure styles.

Window Restoration & Upgrades

Older windows often just need the right repairs rather than full replacement. We evaluate the condition of existing windows in Hillsborough homes and address specific failure points—broken sash cords, worn weatherstripping, stuck frames, and failed seals—restoring smooth, efficient operation.

Wood Window Rot Repair

Soft spots, discoloration, and windows that no longer close flush are often signs of frame rot. We identify the full extent of the damage, remove what can’t be saved, treat the area properly, and restore the frame—so the window works correctly and the rot doesn’t return quickly.

Jeff Cottle,

Owner

Jeff Cottle - Owner of The Glass Guru of Durham, NC, Top Glass Company in Durham, NC

Hi, I’m Jeff Cottle, owner of The Glass Guru of Durham, NC.

Originally from Lima, Peru, I earned a degree in Industrial Engineering from the University of Lima before completing my MBA at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in 2017. Throughout my career, I’ve worked in management, most recently as a Product Manager for BASF’s Urban Pest Control division, where I developed a strong foundation in leadership, problem-solving, and delivering solutions that put customers first.

As rewarding as my corporate career was, I wanted the opportunity to apply my business experience to entrepreneurship and build something of my own. The Glass Guru gave me the chance to combine my passion for business with the opportunity to serve my local community while creating a team dedicated to exceptional customer service.

Today, I’m proud to help homeowners and businesses by providing honest advice, quality workmanship, and a customer experience built on trust. I believe every project deserves attention to detail and clear communication, and I’m committed to making sure every customer feels confident they’ve chosen the right team.

When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my family—my wife, Iza, and our children, Thomas and Lilia. You’ll often find us exploring local parks, visiting museums, traveling, or enjoying the outdoors. I also enjoy exercising and mountain biking whenever I get the chance.

Thank you for considering The Glass Guru of Durham, NC. I look forward to serving you and helping you with all your glass repair, restoration, and replacement needs.

FAQs

How quickly can you respond to a glass service request?

Response times depend on current scheduling and the nature of your request. We prioritize urgent situations and work to accommodate all customers as quickly as possible.

What is insulated glass and why does it matter?

Insulated glass units consist of two or more panes separated by a sealed air space. This design improves energy efficiency by reducing heat transfer, lowering heating and cooling costs.

Can you repair a crack or does the glass need to be replaced?

Small chips may sometimes be repaired, but cracks generally require glass replacement to ensure safety and integrity. We assess each situation individually.

Do you provide written quotes?

Yes. All quotes are provided in writing with clear details about the work to be performed and associated costs.

What makes The Glass Guru different from other glass companies?

We combine experienced specialists, honest recommendations, quality materials, and a commitment to customer satisfaction. We focus on doing the job right, not just making a sale.
