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
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.
