James Vandenbulcke,
Owner
Hello. I’m James Vandenbulcke, and I’m proud to serve the Matthews, North Carolina community as the owner of The Glass Guru.
Originally from Matthews, I’ve built a career spanning more than 30 years in marketing across a variety of industries. Most recently, I served as a Senior Director for a global window and door manufacturer, where I led teams across digital, creative, product management, brand, and social media. That experience gave me a deep understanding of both the products we offer and the importance of delivering a strong, customer-focused experience.
After years in corporate leadership, I was ready for something more hands-on—an opportunity to contribute directly, build something of my own, and connect more closely with my local community. The Glass Guru provided the perfect fit, combining industry familiarity with the challenge and reward of small business ownership.
What I enjoy most is helping customers solve real problems in their homes and businesses while building lasting relationships in the community. It’s incredibly rewarding to be part of a business where the work we do makes a visible difference.
When I’m not working, you’ll likely find me woodworking, exercising, playing golf, or out enjoying live music around town.
Thank you for the opportunity to earn your business. We look forward to serving you.
FAQs
Can you match decorative glass patterns?
We work with a variety of decorative glass options and can often match or closely approximate existing patterns. Availability depends on the specific style.
What is the difference between annealed and tempered glass?
Annealed glass is standard glass without additional treatment. Tempered glass is heat-treated for strength and safety. Tempered glass is required in certain applications by building codes.
Do you provide same-day service?
Same-day service depends on scheduling, glass availability, and the nature of the work. We accommodate urgent needs when possible.
How do seasonal changes affect glass?
Temperature fluctuations cause glass and frames to expand and contract. Quality installation accounts for this movement to prevent seal failure and cracking.
What is your service area radius?
