Services
Window Glass Services
The Glass Guru serving Rescue 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 Rescue 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.

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 Rescue.

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.

From retail storefronts to office buildings, our commercial glass services keep Rescue businesses looking sharp and operating safely. We handle storefront glass, commercial door glass, interior partitions, and safety glazing.

Transform your bathroom with a custom shower enclosure from The Glass Guru. We offer frameless glass shower doors, semi-frameless options, and tub surround enclosures—all measured, fabricated, and installed by our team in Rescue.

Old windows don’t always need to be replaced. Our Rescue team can restore existing windows, replace worn-out components, fix drafts, repair balance systems, and improve function—helping you extend the life of your windows while saving money compared to full replacement.

Dave and Julie Hull,
Owners
Julie and I are proud to bring The Glass Guru to the Folsom and El Dorado Hills community. This area has always been home to us. Julie grew up in Granite Bay, and I grew up in Folsom, graduating from Folsom High School. My family moved here when Folsom was still a small town, and I’ve had the pleasure of watching it grow into the incredible community it is today.
I was introduced to the window and glass industry through my family’s window business in 1989 and have been a licensed glazing contractor for more than 30 years.
For the past 16 years, I’ve also been a co-owner of The Glass Guru of Roseville, the original Glass Guru location, where we’ve had the privilege of serving thousands of local homeowners and businesses while building a strong reputation for quality workmanship, fair pricing, and friendly, dependable service.
Opening a location in my hometown has always been a goal of mine, so when the opportunity finally came along, it felt like the perfect time to bring our passion and proven track record to the Folsom and El Dorado Hills communities.
Julie plays a key role in our business, overseeing many of the behind-the-scenes details that keep everything running smoothly. Her background includes retail management, banking, and corporate event planning, and she brings a strong focus on organization and customer experience. After many years raising our three kids, we’re excited to now be building this business together and serving the community we’ve been part of for most of our lives. When we’re not working, you’ll most likely find us enjoying the many outdoor activities our area is known for. Whether it’s mountain biking, paddle boarding, camping, or heading to the coast, if the weather is nice, we’re probably outside!
At The Glass Guru of Folsom and El Dorado Hills, our goal is simple: provide friendly, personable, and professional service that people feel comfortable recommending to their neighbors. We’re proud to serve homeowners, real estate professionals, builders, property managers, and local businesses throughout Folsom, El Dorado Hills, Cameron Park, Shingle Springs, Gold River, and the surrounding communities.
