Services
Glass Repair & Replacement
Broken or damaged glass affects your home’s comfort, security, and appearance. The Glass Guru serving Matthews 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 Matthews.
Commercial Glass Services
Storefront glass, office partition glass, commercial door glass, and safety glazing—our commercial team keeps businesses in Matthews 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 Matthews—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 Matthews. 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 Matthews 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 Matthews 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.

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.
