CUSTOM GLASS, INC.

What CUSTOM GLASS, INC. does

Custom Glass, Inc. is a family-owned, full-service glass contractor headquartered at 280 S. Rock Blvd., Ste 150 in Reno, Nevada. Founded in 1952 by Lino 'Lee' DePaoli as an auto glass operation within Lee's Auto Body, the company was separately incorporated in 1959 and expanded its scope to residential and commercial glazing. Current ownership rests with Kevin DePaoli, son of the founder, who has been involved in daily operations since the 1970s. The company serves Northern Nevada within a roughly 100-mile radius of its Reno headquarters and showroom.

The core offering is divided into Commercial Glass Services and Residential Glass Services. Commercial capabilities include curtainwall and storefront systems, commercial-grade windows, skylights and custom slope glazing, panels, transaction windows, automatic and electrified entrances (via Horton Automatics), handrails, heavy glass applications, mirrored walls, and specialized safety glass (fire-rated, bullet-resistant, blast-resistant). Residential capabilities include vinyl, fiberglass, wood, and aluminum windows and patio doors (via Weather Shield, Fleetwood, and Milgard), operable and non-operable skylights and sun tunnels (via VELUX), custom shower and tub enclosures (via Cardinal), mirrored wardrobe doors, glass railings, pet doors, and custom mirrors. The underlying technology is conventional architectural glass fabrication and installation work, with no proprietary software or AI components disclosed.

The business model is project-based, one-time-project revenue with all jobs custom-quoted. Go-to-market is sales-led: Custom Glass works directly with industry professionals (residential and commercial contractors, architects, designers, and handymen/service companies) who bring their clients' projects, accompanied by free estimates, a physical showroom for product viewing, and guaranteed workmanship. Marketing is primarily organic, centered on a website with a project gallery, a testimonials page, Facebook presence, and professional referrals. Notable project customers include Penn South, Tamarack, Sierra Ridge, Peppermill, Renown Health, and Auto Museum, alongside community engagements such as Boys & Girls Club of Truckee Meadows. Pricing is not publicly disclosed.
