Services
Glass Services
The Glass Guru serving NW Hills handles glass repair and replacement for windows, doors, tabletops, shelving, and specialty applications. We work with all glass types—clear, tempered, insulated, frosted, tinted, and decorative.
Foggy Window Repair
Condensation between glass panes is a signal your insulated window’s seal has failed. Our team replaces the failed glass unit in NW Hills, restoring your window’s clarity and energy performance at a cost well below full window replacement.
Mirrors & Custom Glass
We cut, finish, and install custom mirrors and specialty glass for any application. Bathroom and vanity mirrors, large-format wall mirrors, decorative accents, cabinet glass, and furniture glass are all available.
Door Glass
Door glass repair and replacement is a specialty. We service entry doors, exterior doors, patio doors, sliding doors, French doors, and interior glass doors throughout NW Hills. Glass inserts are available to upgrade door styles.
Decorative Glass
Add personality and function to your space with decorative glass. We offer frosted, etched, tinted, patterned, and colored glass for windows, doors, interior panels, and cabinet features.
Commercial Glass
From storefronts to office partitions, our commercial glass team serves businesses across NW Hills. Fast turnaround, professional installation, and safety glazing options that meet building code requirements.
Pet Doors & Installations
Some homes are better suited to a pet door cut directly into glass than through a wall or door panel. We install pet doors in sliding glass doors, patio doors, and windows throughout NW Hills—handling the measurement, glass cutting, unit fitting, and finish work so the installation is clean, secure, and built to last.
Screen Services
A screen that doesn’t fit its frame or has torn mesh isn’t doing its job. We repair and replace window screens and screen doors across NW Hills, rescreening salvageable frames and fabricating new ones where the original is too far gone. Custom sizing available, along with solar and pet-resistant mesh upgrades.
Shower Doors & Enclosures
Every bathroom is a little different, which is why we measure each shower installation on site before anything is cut or fabricated. Our NW Hills team installs frameless, semi-frameless, and framed glass shower enclosures built to the actual dimensions of your space—with hardware finishes and door configurations chosen to suit how the bathroom is used.
Window Restoration & Upgrades
Windows that are still fundamentally sound but failing in specific ways are worth restoring rather than replacing. We work through the problem systematically—checking balances, seals, hardware, weatherstripping, and sash condition—and make the repairs that bring the window back to proper operation. Serving homeowners and businesses throughout NW Hills.
Wood Window Rot Repair
Rot in a window frame doesn’t stay contained—it spreads into the surrounding structure if it isn’t dealt with directly. Our NW Hills team removes all deteriorated material, treats the area to inhibit further decay, and restores the frame to a condition that supports proper window function and a clean finished appearance.

When Does a Patio Door Need Repair vs. Replacement?
Your patio door sticks. It drags across the track. Maybe it doesn’t lock properly anymore—or you can feel air coming…

Owner
Hi, we’re Tom and Joe Ruble, the father-and-son team behind The Glass Guru of West Portland.
For more than a decade, we’ve talked about the idea of going into business together. We both wanted the opportunity to build something meaningful—something that would allow us to serve others, create a lasting legacy, and have more control over our future. In 2026, that vision became a reality when we opened The Glass Guru of West Portland.
While Tom leads the day-to-day operations and works directly with our customers, Joe provides the business leadership and strategic support behind the scenes. Together, we combine decades of business experience with a shared commitment to integrity, hard work, and exceptional customer service.
Tom grew up in Denver, Colorado, graduated from Regis Jesuit High School, and earned his degree in History from the University of Oregon in 2016. He has called Portland home since 2018. Before joining The Glass Guru, Tom spent nearly 10 years in SaaS compliance sales, helping Fortune 1000 companies make ethical business decisions. That experience reinforced the importance of trust, honesty, and doing the right thing—values that are at the heart of how we serve every customer.
Joe brings more than 40 years of leadership experience in the technology and media industries. After earning degrees in Political Science, Business, and Law from Ohio University and The Catholic University of America, he built a career leading businesses and helping organizations grow. While much of his work has been in technology, he was excited by the opportunity to build a hands-on business that allows us to work directly with homeowners, solve real problems, and make a positive impact in the community.
What drew us to The Glass Guru was finding a franchise that offered the support of an established brand while giving us the independence to build our own business. Just as importantly, we found a company whose values aligned with ours and a team that genuinely cares about helping people.
For Joe, one of the most rewarding parts of this journey has been the opportunity to finally go into business with his son after talking about it for so many years. For Tom, it’s about building something meaningful alongside family while serving the Portland community he proudly calls home.
When we’re not working, Tom enjoys cycling, skiing at Mt. Hood Meadows, exploring Forest Park, and spending time outdoors with his wife, Michelle. Joe enjoys flying airplanes, cooking for family and friends, boating, golfing, and making the most of the outdoors whenever he can.
Whether you meet Tom in your home or Joe working behind the scenes to support our team, our goal is the same: to provide honest advice, exceptional workmanship, and customer service you can trust. We look forward to earning your business and serving the West Portland community for years to come.
