Anderson Glass Co.

What Anderson Glass Co. does

Anderson Glass Co., Inc. is a privately held, family-owned glass services contractor headquartered at 816 NW 4th Street, Grand Rapids, Minnesota, serving residential, commercial, and vehicle glass customers across northern Minnesota. The firm operates from a single physical showroom, supplemented by on-site estimates and a network of local licensed contractors that handle a portion of installation work. Service lines span auto glass (windshield replacement/repair including in-house ADAS camera calibration), residential windows (Andersen), doors and millwork (Bayer Built Woodworks), commercial storefronts and curtain walls (YKK-AP, Oldcastle), automatic doors (Record-USA), glass railings (CR Laurence), custom shower doors (Agalite), and general glass replacement.

Commercially, the company sells both products (one-time glass product sales) and labor (professional installation), priced via per-project quotes with free estimates; auto glass work is intermediated by insurance paperflow handled in-house. Customers span two primary segments — residential homeowners (SMB) and commercial/institutional projects (strip malls, schools, healthcare, government, industrial buildings) — plus a smaller vehicle/RV/trailer owner base. The firm carries no external investors, has 11-50 employees, and is currently owned by second-generation operators Derek and Chris Stanley, who assumed control from their father Tom Stanley in 2006.

The company operates a showroom in Grand Rapids, MN, performs in-shop fabrication and glass cutting, and dispatches on-site teams while partnering with local licensed contractors for installation.

• Safelite Group: Safelite is the largest U.S. auto glass replacement and repair provider with national mobile service, deep insurer relationships, and ADAS recalibration capabilities. It directly competes with Anderson Glass in the auto glass segment at a national scale that local shops cannot match.
