Services
Window Glass Services
The Glass Guru serving Southern Village provides complete window glass solutions—from emergency single-pane replacements to full insulated glass unit (IGU) upgrades. Damaged or inefficient glass is replaced quickly to restore comfort and curb appeal.
Foggy Window Seal Repair
Condensation between glass panes means the insulated seal has failed. Rather than replacing the entire window, our Southern Village team can replace just the glass unit—saving money while fully restoring the window’s performance and appearance.
Decorative & Custom Glass
We offer custom glass cutting and a wide selection of decorative glass for any application—frosted privacy glass, tinted glass, textured glass, etched glass, and specialty options. Perfect for interior design, cabinet accents, or architectural features.
Mirrors
Whether you need a simple bathroom mirror or a large custom wall mirror, our team delivers precise measurement, professional cutting, and clean installation. We serve residential and commercial clients throughout Southern Village.
Door Glass & Glass Inserts
Broken door glass is a safety and security concern we address fast. We replace glass in patio doors, entry doors, sliding glass doors, and interior doors. Decorative glass inserts are also available to refresh the look of any door.
Commercial Glass
From retail storefronts to office buildings, our commercial glass services keep Southern Village businesses looking sharp and operating safely. We handle storefront glass, commercial door glass, interior partitions, and safety glazing.
Pet Doors & Installations
Pet door installation in glass requires precision cutting and clean framing to get right. Our Southern Village team handles the full job—measuring the opening, cutting the glass, fitting the door unit, and finishing the surround so the result looks built-in and holds up long term.
Screen Services
A torn or missing screen is a small problem that gets annoying fast. We handle screen repairs, full rescreens, and custom screen fabrication for windows and doors throughout Southern Village. If your existing frames are bent or damaged beyond repair, we build new ones to fit.
Shower Doors & Enclosures
Custom shower glass turns a functional space into something worth showing off. We design and install frameless and semi-frameless shower enclosures in Southern Village, working from your bathroom’s exact dimensions to ensure a precise fit and a clean, watertight result.
Window Restoration & Upgrades
A window that doesn’t seal, balance, or operate correctly is costing you money and comfort. Before replacing it, let our Southern Village team evaluate what’s actually wrong. In many cases, targeted repairs to hardware, seals, or sash components restore full performance at far less cost.
Wood Window Rot Repair
Once rot takes hold in a window frame it doesn’t stop on its own. Our team cuts out the deteriorated sections, treats the exposed wood, and restores the frame to solid condition—addressing the problem at the source rather than masking it.
Let us help you solve your glass problem. Contact The Glass Guru serving Southern Village today for professional service and honest recommendations.

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.
