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.

Erik Hilger,
Owner
Hello neighbors! I’m Erik Hilger, owner of The Glass Guru of Charleston since 2012. I grew up in the Fort Wayne, IN area, went to Carroll High School, and then college at Purdue University where I graduated with a degree in Organizational Leadership and Supervision.
Prior to The Glass Guru, I gained valuable experience in marketing and business management. I started The Glass Guru because I enjoy meeting people and wanted to have a positive impact on my community. What attracted me to The Glass Guru was that it was a business that was needed and valued. I am extremely proud of the continued growth and success we have had over the years. What I like most about this business is helping others with their home needs.
Outside of work, I enjoy fishing, hunting, enjoying the beach with friends, sports, and cooking. My wife and I have a son and daughter as well as an English Bulldog named Koda. On weekends you might find us keeping our young kids entertained. 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.
