24 years of Experience in Window Treatments
Meet the Family Behind Allen Interiors
Mark Allen, owner of Allen Interiors, graduated from Iowa State University with a degree in Engineering. After starting his career in the engineering field, Mark felt the pull to return to his roots and continue the family cleaning business. That path eventually led him to discover a passion for window treatments—and the rest is history.
Today, Mark personally handles both sales consultations and installations, ensuring every customer receives expert, hands-on service. It’s truly a family affair: his kids, Emily and Chase, and his dad, Paul, often lend a hand—making Allen Interiors a business built on generations of hard work, trust, and care.
Keeping the business running smoothly behind the scenes is Mark’s niece, Anna, our friendly and efficient Office Manager. From scheduling appointments and installations to handling bookkeeping and customer communication, Anna keeps everything organized and on track. She can be reached directly at anna@alleninteriorsllc.com.
Anna’s husband, Willie, is our full-time installer and an integral part of the team. Known affectionately as our “perfectionist,” Willie brings expert craftsmanship and a meticulous eye for detail to every job. We never contract out our installations—because when it comes to quality, we believe in doing things the right way, every time.
What to Expect - From Consultation to Install
We know that choosing window treatments is a big decision. That’s why we bring samples of fabrics, colors, and styles directly to your home, so you can see exactly how everything will look in your space before you commit. After all, your windows are the final destination!
Once you’ve made your selections, we send your order directly to our trusted manufacturer, where your custom treatments are made to your exact specifications. Each order is carefully packaged and shipped to our large shop—not left outside in the Iowa elements—to ensure everything arrives in perfect condition.
When your items arrive, Willie personally checks in the order to make sure everything is received. Then, Anna will contact you to schedule your installation. In most cases, we have your order for just a day or two before we’re ready to install—so you won’t have to wait long to enjoy your beautiful new window treatments.
It’s a smooth, stress-free process—handled with care by a family you can trust.
