GLASS MANUFACTURE & INSTALLATION FOR RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL

It feels like there are a lot of niche glass manufacture and installation companies out there, but there are not that many/any posts on Searchfunder that I can find. Is anyone proactively targeting, or has reviewed these types of opportunities before?
