Services
Window Glass Services
The Glass Guru serving Grayslake 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 Grayslake 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 Grayslake.
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 Grayslake 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 Grayslake.
Window Restoration & Upgrades
Old windows don’t always need to be replaced. Our Grayslake 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.

Rotting window frames are a common problem in older homes. Our Grayslake team repairs wood rot damage in window frames and sills—removing deteriorated material, treating the area, and restoring structural integrity so your windows operate properly and look clean.

We handle the cutting, framing, and installation for a clean, secure finish.
FAQs
Can you add window film to existing glass?
We focus on glass repair and replacement rather than film application. We can discuss whether replacement with tinted or coated glass might meet your needs.
What is the process for ordering custom glass?
We measure, verify specifications, order from our suppliers, and schedule installation once the glass arrives. Lead times vary based on the type of glass ordered.
Do you repair window frames?
Our primary focus is glass, but we address frame issues that affect glass performance. Extensive frame repairs may require coordination with other trades.
How do I know if my glass needs to be replaced?
Signs include cracks, chips, fogging between panes, drafts, difficulty operating windows, or visible deterioration. We can assess and advise during a consultation.
What sets your commercial services apart?
We understand business needs: minimal disruption, professional appearance, code compliance, and reliable scheduling. We deliver commercial projects with the same care as residential work.

Tom Rowland,
Owner
Hello neighbors! I’m Tom Rowland, owner of The Glass Guru of Gurnee since 2012. I grew up in the Libertyville, IL area, went to Libertyville High School, and then college at Trinity International University in Bannock, IL where I graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Management. Before transferring to Trinity International, I studied civil engineering at Purdue. While in college, I took a break and started The Glass Guru and graduated in 2016 with my degree while running our store. Before starting The Glass Guru, I did work for myself as a handyman, mobile detailer, and doing odd jobs throughout college.
I started The Glass Guru because I enjoy helping others and wanted to have a positive impact on my community. What attracted me to The Glass Guru was the guru mindset and the support I receive from the Franchise Headquarters. I am extremely proud of the positive impact we have left on our customers, employees, and community. What I like most about this business is I have an opportunity to help others in a construction-related field.
Outside of work, I enjoy mountain biking, camping, and enjoying time with family. My wife, Carly, and I have 3 beautiful children – Colton, Cayden and Colette – and a Goldendoodle named Spice. On weekends you might find us on a bike trail, enjoying quality time with the family or church.
It’s a great honor and privilege to have the opportunity to serve you and we hope to be the local glass shop you can trust and rely on for many years to come.
