Services
Window Glass Services
The Glass Guru serving Golden Valley 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 Golden Valley 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.

FAQs
Can you work with older or historic windows?
Yes. We have experience with a variety of window types, including older and historic styles. We balance preservation with practical improvements where possible.
What is low-e glass?
Low-e (low emissivity) glass has a special coating that reduces heat transfer while allowing light through. It improves energy efficiency and is available for many applications.
Do I need a permit for glass replacement?
Permit requirements vary by location and project scope. We can advise based on your specific situation and local regulations.
How do you ensure a proper fit for replacement glass?
We take precise measurements and verify specifications before ordering glass. Proper measurement is essential to a successful installation.
Can you add glass to an existing door?
In many cases, yes. We can install glass inserts or panels in doors designed to accept them. We assess the door and discuss options with you.

Peter Bateman,
Owner
Hello neighbors! I’m Peter Bateman, owner of The Glass Guru of West Minneapolis since 2022.
I grew up in LeCreschent, MN, and went to college at the University of Minnesota Duluth. I now reside in Eden Prairie, MN since 2021. Prior to The Glass Guru, I gained valuable experience in customer service, sales, and business management working at The Glass Guru of Duluth for 5 years before deciding to purchase a The Glass Guru franchise of my own.
I started The Glass Guru because I enjoy having the ability to run and manage my own store and wanted to have a positive impact on my community. What I like most about this business is the ability to chase my dreams and help customers.
Outside of work, I enjoy fitness and gardening. My spouse of seven years, Danielle, and I have a Beagle/Lab mix named Mia and a Shih-Tzu/Bichon mix named Winnie. On weekends you might find me/us working out or spending time outside with friends and family.
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.
