FAQs
What types of glass do you work with?
We work with standard float glass, tempered glass, laminated glass, insulated glass units, decorative glass, and specialty options. Our team will recommend the right type for your application.
Can foggy windows be repaired or do they need to be replaced?
Often, foggy windows can be repaired by addressing the seal failure. We assess each situation and recommend repair when it makes sense, or replacement when it provides better long-term value.
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes. We provide free on-site estimates for most projects so you can make an informed decision.
What is the difference between tempered and laminated glass?
Tempered glass is heat-treated for strength and breaks into small, safer pieces. Laminated glass has a plastic interlayer that holds fragments together if broken. We will recommend the appropriate type based on your needs and local codes.
Can I schedule service on weekends?
Scheduling availability varies. Contact us to discuss options that work with your schedule.

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.
