Your Friendly Neighborhood Glass Shop
Before we became glass experts, we were homeowners and business owners just like you.
We understand how challenging it can be to find a reliable service contractor. That’s why we founded The Glass Guru—to offer Gurnee, IL, a trustworthy, professional glass company that prioritizes customer satisfaction over high-pressure sales tactics.
From the start, our mission has been to provide property owners in Gurnee and surrounding areas with top-quality products and services for all your glass, window, and door needs.
Unlike other glass shops, we offer a full range of solutions, from restoration and repairs to complete replacements. Plus, we proudly offer specialty services like Foggy Window Repair, In-Glass Pet Doors, and Custom Mirror Frames.

Gurnee, IL Featured Services
Unlike other companies who try to sell you an entire package of new windows, our team of skilled technicians can fix just the glass in your existing windows and doors, saving you the cost and hassle of a full replacement. We’re all about getting the job done quickly and making sure it looks just right.
Gurnee’s unique mix of suburban and residential areas, along with its Midwest climate, can put extra strain on your home’s windows and doors. At The Glass Guru of Gurnee, we understand how seasonal temperature swings and humidity can affect the longevity of your windows and glass fixtures. That’s why we offer tailored solutions to meet the needs of our local customers.
Whether you’re in a classic home near Gurnee Mills or a modern house in the Viking Park neighborhood, we provide glass repairs and installations that blend seamlessly with your property’s style. Our services, such as Foggy Window Repair, restore the energy efficiency of your windows, especially important during Gurnee’s cold winters and hot summers.
Our commitment to high-quality glass services extends beyond repair. We offer custom glass solutions for shower enclosures, mirrors, and tabletops, adding a personal touch to your home’s decor. No matter the project, The Glass Guru of Gurnee is here to help enhance the beauty and functionality of your glass features.
Your Gurnee, IL Glass Guru Team
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 a toddler named Colton and a baby boy due October 2022, 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.
