Services
Glass Repair & Replacement
The Glass Guru serving Meadowmont provides fast, reliable glass repair and replacement for homes and businesses. From broken windowpanes to full IGU replacements, we handle projects of any size with quality materials and expert installation.
Door Glass & Inserts
We repair and replace glass in entry doors, patio doors, French doors, and sliding glass doors throughout Meadowmont. Decorative door glass inserts are available to add elegance and natural light to any doorway.
Foggy Window Repair
When insulated window seals fail, condensation forms between the panes. We replace the failed glass unit to restore clarity and performance—a more affordable alternative to installing new windows in most cases.
Custom Glass & Mirrors
Custom glass and mirror work is a core specialty. We cut glass for tabletops, shelving, cabinet doors, display cases, and special applications. Mirrors are measured, cut, and professionally installed for any room or space.
Decorative Glass
Frosted, tinted, textured, and etched glass options are available for windows, doors, partitions, and interior features. Great for adding privacy or a design element to any room in your home.
Commercial Glass
Businesses in Meadowmont count on The Glass Guru for storefront glass, interior glass partitions, commercial door glass, and code-compliant safety glazing. Responsive service with minimal disruption to daily operations.
Screen Services
Good screens are the difference between open windows and bug problems. We repair, rescreen, and replace window screens and screen doors across Meadowmont—handling standard sizes and custom fabrications for openings that off-the-shelf screens don’t fit. Upgraded mesh options including solar and heavy-duty screen material available.
Shower Doors & Enclosures
Shower glass done right starts with accurate measurement and ends with an enclosure that seals properly and operates smoothly every time. Our Meadowmont team installs frameless, semi-frameless, and framed shower doors and enclosures fabricated to the exact dimensions of your space, with hardware selected to suit your bathroom’s finish.
Pet Doors & Installations
We install pet doors in glass panels throughout Meadowmont—cutting the opening to the correct dimensions, fitting the door unit securely, and finishing the surrounding glass so the installation looks clean and holds up to regular use. Available in sliding doors, patio doors, and fixed window glass.
Window Restoration & Upgrades
A window that’s still structurally sound but no longer operating well is usually a better candidate for restoration than replacement. We identify the specific components that have failed—balances, hardware, seals, weatherstripping, or sash—and address them directly, restoring function and efficiency without the cost of new windows.
Wood Window Rot Repair
Rotted window frames compromise more than just appearance—they affect how the window closes, seals, and insulates. We locate the full extent of the damage, remove deteriorated material completely, treat the area to prevent recurrence, and restore the frame to solid working condition throughout Meadowmont.

Jeff Cottle,
Owner
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.
