Established Bonded Commercial Glazing And Architectural Glass Contractor For Sale

This Company is a 41-year-old architectural glass, glazing, and metal works prime contractor operating throughout Upstate and Central New York. With $3M single / $6M aggregate bonding capacity, IUPAT union signatory status, and a 200-mile service radius, the Company serves architects, engineers, general contractors, and building owners on commercial, institutional, educational, healthcare, and governmental projects across the region.
The Company operates as both a prime contractor — working directly with building owners under architect’s specifications — and as a specialty subcontractor to general contractors. Its bonding capacity, four-decade performance record, and union workforce access position it in a segment of the market where competition is limited to a small number of qualified regional contractors. Specialty capabilities include fire-rated assemblies, ballistic glass, security glass, custom glass railings, and operable glass partitions — premium-margin categories where the Company faces minimal direct competition.
