Services
Window Glass Services
The Glass Guru serving Lake Bluff 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 Lake Bluff team can replace just the glass unit—saving money while fully restoring the window’s performance and appearance.

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.

Why Glass Doors Fail in High Heat (And What You Can Do About It)
Your glass door worked fine all spring. Then summer arrived—and suddenly it sticks, drags, won’t close properly, or seems harder…
Craig Amick,
Owner
Hello! I’m Craig Amick, owner of The Glass Guru of Gurnee. I joined The Glass Guru family in 2026 after a long career in enterprise software sales.
I’ve called Chicago home since 2015, where I live with my wife and our two children—one currently in college and the other in high school.
After years in the technology industry, I knew I wanted my next chapter to be in the home services business. What attracted me to The Glass Guru was the opportunity to serve a real need while bringing a strong commitment to customer service to an industry where that experience can sometimes be lacking. I’m excited to build on The Glass Guru’s reputation and serve homeowners and businesses throughout Lake County and the surrounding communities.
When I’m not working, you’ll often find me following my son’s baseball and football teams, traveling, attending concerts, or catching a Cubs game. I also enjoy making the occasional trip back to Norman, Oklahoma to cheer on my alma mater. Baseball is an especially big part of my life—I have a part-time job with Major League Baseball, so during the season there’s a good chance you’ll find me at Wrigley Field or Rate Field. In the offseason, I’m usually at one of my son’s games or enjoying a concert somewhere.
As the owner of The Glass Guru of Gurnee, I’m committed to making us the go-to glass shop in Lake County. My team and I will stay focused on providing an outstanding customer experience, treating people the right way, and following a simple principle: we will always do what we say and say what we do.
I look forward to serving our neighbors throughout Lake County, and the surrounding areas!
Frequently Asked Questions About Our Glass Services
What should I do while waiting for glass repair?
If glass is broken, avoid the area to prevent injury. Cover openings with plastic or board if possible to protect against weather and security risks. Contact us promptly to schedule repair.
Do you offer financing options?
Financing availability varies. Ask about current options when you receive your quote.
Can energy-efficient glass really reduce my utility bills?
Yes. Properly installed insulated and low-e glass reduces heat transfer, helping maintain indoor temperatures and reducing the workload on heating and cooling systems.
What is safety glass and when is it required?
Safety glass, including tempered and laminated types, is designed to reduce injury risk if broken. Building codes require safety glass in specific locations such as doors, showers, and low windows.
How do I contact you for service?
Call us directly or submit a request through our website. We respond promptly to all inquiries.
