Liberty Glass & Metal

What Liberty Glass & Metal does

Liberty Glass & Metal, Inc. is a privately held commercial glazing contractor founded in 2004 and headquartered at 929 Seaboard Court in Upland, California, operating as a California licensed contractor (License No. 843805). The company originated as a father-and-sons field crew and has expanded over two decades into a full-service provider of design, fabrication, installation, and repair of architectural glass and metal systems for industrial and commercial clients throughout Southern California. Its service portfolio spans curtain walls, storefronts, commercial windows, all-glass entrances, glass handrails, architectural metal cladding, sunscreens, tenant improvements, and mirrors, as well as specialty glass types including acoustical, blast-resistant, bullet-resistant, fire-rated, insulated, laminated, Low-E, safety, security, and seismic glass. Beyond standard third-party aluminum systems from suppliers such as Arcadia, United States Aluminum, and PRL Aluminum, the company has developed proprietary custom aluminum systems in-house.

The business operates on a project-based contracting model, generating revenue through qualified bids submitted to general contractors, architects, engineers, real estate owners, builders, and government agencies. Pricing is quote-based with no public tiers, and the company is bonded for projects of varying scale. Its distribution approach is direct sales — bid solicitation, phone-based contact, and a website portfolio of completed work across verticals including healthcare (Edwards Life Sciences, HCA Riverside), hospitality (AC Marriott Irvine, Hotel Lincoln), retail (Williams Sonoma, Guess, Sunglass Hut, Pottery Barn), industrial (ALDI Distribution Warehouse), government (San Bernardino Courthouse, Riverside City Hall), and education (Pasadena City College, Chaffey College). The company also operates a service department with multiple service trucks for glass replacement, door service, and resealing of existing commercial buildings, providing recurring maintenance revenue alongside new construction.

The company is founder/family-owned and operated, with no disclosed institutional investment, no public listing, no parent company, no subsidiaries, no M&A activity, and no management team data publicly available. With 1-10 stated employees and operations confined to Southern California, Liberty Glass & Metal is a small specialty trade contractor relying on its 20-year reputation, licensed contracting credentials, in-house custom aluminum capabilities, and a diversified project portfolio to compete in a fragmented regional glazing market.
