Allied Glass

What Allied Glass does

Allied Glass Products is a glass repair, replacement, and custom-installation company headquartered in Cedar Falls, Iowa, and operating as a locally owned division of IGD Industries, a diversified industrial group. Founded in 1962, the firm serves residential and commercial customers across Eastern Iowa — including Cedar Rapids, Hiawatha, Iowa City, and Cedar Falls — through two retail showrooms in Hiawatha and Cedar Falls. The residential offering centers on custom shower glass enclosures, vanity and exercise mirrors, cabinet glass and shelves, and single-pane and insulated window glass and screen replacement. The commercial offering spans aluminum storefront systems, framed and frameless interior glass and office partitions, ADA-compliant entry doors and vestibules, glass handrails and awnings, and door and glass repair and replacement.

The underlying technology is traditional glass fabrication and on-site installation rather than a software- or AI-enabled platform; project scoping depends on in-person measurement and quote-based pricing reflective of variable materials, labor, and customization. Customers can walk in to the showrooms without appointments for same-day quotes, submit inquiries through the corporate website, or call directly, with general contractors, developers, business owners, and property managers representing the commercial client base. Marketing is conducted through organic social channels (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn) and the company website, which functions as the primary lead-capture and quote-request surface.

Allied Glass generates revenue through one-time project fees across three streams: glass repair services, custom glass installation (showers, storefronts, partitions, entry systems, handrails), and glass replacement (fogged, cracked, or outdated panels). The company is privately held with 11-50 employees, holds licensed, bonded, and insured technician credentials, and operates actively with ongoing hiring through the IGD Industries recruitment infrastructure.
