Installed Building Products (IBP) Just Made Two Game-Changing Acquisitions—Is This the Start of a Massive Growth Spree?

Installed Building Products has made headlines with its latest strategic move: the acquisition of Echols Glass & Mirror and Vanderkoy Bros. Announced in October 2025, these acquisitions together contribute over $16 million in annual revenue and are part of a broader 2025 initiative that has added $55 million in acquired revenue to date. This expansion effort comes during a time of elevated interest rates and persistent housing affordability challenges, which have slowed single-family starts across the U.S. IBP, however, remains focused on geographic expansion and end-market diversification as it positions itself to weather current headwinds. The company is targeting over $100 million in acquired revenue for the year and views bolt-on acquisitions as a means to expand both regional presence and complementary product offerings. These latest additions reflect that strategy in motion. As IBP navigates operational complexity and macroeconomic uncertainty, the integration of Echols and Vanderkoy could offer tangible synergies. Below, we explore four key drivers of potential value creation from these acquisitions.
