You Can be a Glass Guru Too!
Cutting-edge window restoration technologies combined with traditional glass shop services make The Glass Guru a one-of-a-kind franchise opportunity. Every home has windows, doors, screens, mirrors and shower enclosures. As these critical components age and require repair or replacement, every homeowner needs someone to call.
With The Glass Guru, one call does it all! The Glass Guru franchise locations are unique in the home improvement industry. We don't just replace glass & windows like all the others! We RESTORE them for a fraction of the cost!
Every year, hundreds of thousands of windows in the US lose their integrity due to seal failure. Pioneers in the emerging window restoration industry, The Glass Guru is the first company in the US to offer moisture removal for failed (foggy) thermal pane windows. Our process involves the installation of a patent-pending Micro-vent system that permanently eliminates moisture while restoring the window's clarity and insulation.
History of the Guru's Window Restoration
The Glass Guru was established in mid-2004 in Roseville, California. Pioneering new window restoration technologies, The Glass Guru was the first in the US to offer the groundbreaking service of moisture removal for failed dual-pane windows.
Saving Customers Money
After almost five years, the process has saved their residential and commercial customers millions of dollars in replacement costs and has prevented thousands of windows from going to landfills. With locations in 13 states and growing, the Glass Guru is the only US based organization currently offering this green and money-saving service.
Offering glass and window replacements since early 2006, The Glass Guru has truly become the one-stop solution for all of our customers' residential and commercial glass and window needs. Our locations also offer screens, shower enclosures, mirrors, table tops, doors and more. We bring new meaning to the term "Full Service".
