#31 – Robert Amos, Owner & President, Amos Exteriors
As Owner and President Robert Amos leads Amos Exteriors, he carries forward a family legacy that has served Central Indiana homeowners and businesses since 1971, delivering roofing, siding, windows, doors, gutters, painting, masonry, and storm restoration solutions. Under his leadership, the company has grown to approximately $28.6 million in revenue while keeping the personal, relationship-driven culture that defined it more than 50 years ago.
From its locations in Indianapolis and Lafayette, Amos Exteriors has become one of Central Indiana’s most trusted exterior remodeling contractors, backed by top-tier certifications such as GAF Master Elite, Owens Corning Total Protection Roofing System, and James Hardie Preferred Remodeler status. The company maintains an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, is a member of the National Roofing Contractors Association and the Indianapolis Apartment Association, and serves both residential and commercial customers with a 100% satisfaction guarantee and 24/7 emergency support. Its commercial division proudly partners with the Indiana Apartment Association to support multi-housing exterior renovations for property managers, owners, and multifamily communities statewide, providing roofing, siding, windows, gutters, and full exterior transformations.
“Robert has taken a respected family business and scaled it without ever compromising on integrity or craftsmanship,” said Greg Cummings. “His team doesn’t just replace roofs or siding—they protect communities, properties, and long-term home value with a level of care that stands out even among the nation’s best.”
The Power100 landing page for Robert Amos highlights his ability to blend deep local roots with modern systems, certifications, and technology to consistently exceed expectations for homeowners facing weather challenges, aging properties, and complex insurance-driven projects. “We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all,” said Robert Amos. “Every home and every owner is different, so we start with listening, then tailor a solution that keeps their family and investment protected for the long term.”
Culture and customer experience are core to why Amos Exteriors ranks #31 in the nation with Power100. The company focuses on certified professionals, clear communication, flexible financing, and transparent guidance from the first estimate to the final walkthrough, building lasting relationships instead of one-time transactions. “Robert’s approach is simple but powerful: hire great people, train them well, and empower them to do what’s right for the homeowner every time,” added Greg Cummings.

#33 – Cris Keeter, Owner, All States Exteriors LLC
Cris Keeter is the owner of All States Exteriors LLC, a specialty home improvement contractor known for premium-quality windows and doors and a broader range of exterior services in the Wichita area and surrounding communities. Since founding the company in 1992, he has spent more than 25 years building a reputation as the go-to contractor for homeowners who demand flawless installations, top-of-the-line products, and truly personal service.
The Power100 profile for Cris Keeter highlights his strengths in technical expertise, especially in windows and doors, and his commitment to continuous learning around the latest trends and technologies. He leads a factory-trained, fully certified installation team and works with leading manufacturers so that homeowners receive high-performance products backed by strong warranties and meticulous workmanship.
“Cris is one of those leaders who sees every project through the eyes of the homeowner,” said Greg Cummings. “He has built an organization where craftsmanship, empathy, and accountability are non-negotiable, and that shows up in their long-term customer relationships.”
Beyond projects, All States Exteriors LLC (also working under the All States Home Improvement brand) demonstrates a deep commitment to community. The company’s 2nd Annual Running Roofer 5K brought together sponsors such as Construct Plumbing Design, Storm Guard of Columbus, Madison County Chamber of Commerce, Butcher Block, H & M Excavation, Owens Corning Roofing, CKSigns & Apparel, and Mullins Photography to raise donations for causes like Shoes for the Shoeless and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. “Events like the Running Roofer 5K are about more than fitness,” said Cris Keeter. “They’re about rallying our community to give back together and make a difference for kids and families who need us.”
From humble beginnings nearly 30 years ago to becoming a leading choice for exterior remodeling and roofing in the region, All States Exteriors LLC has held onto its identity as a second-generation family business rooted in local values. “Cris exemplifies what it means to grow a company while still knowing customers by name and showing up for the community in a tangible way,” added Greg Cummings. That balance of operational excellence, customer focus, and community impact is what earns him the #33 spot on the Power100 list.
#34 – Mike Gilkey, Founder & President, Gilkey Window Company
Mike Gilkey is the founder and president of Gilkey Window Company, a leading manufacturer and installer of premium residential and commercial windows and doors serving Cincinnati, Dayton, Louisville, Lexington, and Chicago. Established in 1978, the company began by installing products from large national brands before making a pivotal shift in 1986 to manufacture its own vinyl windows to achieve higher quality and reliability.
The Power100 profile for Mike Gilkey details how he turned that strategic decision into a competitive advantage, making Gilkey Window Company one of the first manufacturers in Cincinnati to offer fully fusion-welded window systems, custom spectrally selective Low E glass, and NFRC-rated, Energy Star-qualified products. Today, the company is recognized nationally for having some of the highest-quality vinyl windows in the United States.
“Mike is a builder—of products, of teams, and of trust,” said Greg Cummings. “He removed the middleman, invested in manufacturing, and created a model where quality is controlled from design to installation, which is incredibly rare in this industry.” At Gilkey Window Company, every window is manufactured and installed by the company itself, ensuring no dealer markups and a consistent standard of craftsmanship delivered by AWDI-certified and EPA Lead-Safe trained installers.
Expansion has been a defining theme of recent years. Gilkey Window Company added factory space at its Cincinnati headquarters in 2022 to handle increased fiberglass demand, and in 2024 the company purchased a 28,920-square-foot industrial building in Mason, Ohio, for $2.6 million to support its growing lamination business. “We’re investing in infrastructure so we can continue to innovate and deliver better-performing products for our customers,” said Mike Gilkey. “Our focus has always been on long-term performance—not quick fixes.”
That long-term thinking, paired with a relentless focus on energy efficiency, durability, and customer satisfaction, earns Mike Gilkey the #34 national ranking with Power100. “Mike shows what happens when a CEO takes full ownership of the product lifecycle,” said Greg Cummings. “From factory floor to front door, his team owns the outcome—and customers feel that difference for decades.”
#35 – Ray Marzarella, President, All County Exteriors
Ray Marzarella serves as president of All County Exteriors, a New Jersey-based home improvement company known for its comprehensive exterior services and deep involvement in the communities it serves.

The Power100 profile for Ray Marzarella emphasizes his commitment to building a company where employees are empowered to do what is right for the customer and where community partnerships are not a side project, but a core part of the company’s identity. “Ray leads with heart and accountability,” said Greg Cummings. “He has built an organization where giving back is woven into the business, not tacked on as an afterthought.”
That commitment is visible in All County Exteriors’s support of events like the Anchors of Hope Gala with Northern Ocean Habitat for Humanity, a celebration of community members, partners, volunteers, and sponsors who help build homes, communities, and hope. The event recognized honorees and partners such as Wells Fargo, Berkeley Township, The Maida Foundation, The Citta Foundation, New Jersey Natural Gas, Crossroads Realty, InVision Eye Care, Causeway CARes, Carl’s Fencing, Decking, & Home Improvements, and Community Medical Center, with All County Exteriors standing alongside them as a Foundation of Hope partner.
“Our community is our foundation,” said Ray Marzarella. “We’re not just improving homes; we’re helping strengthen the neighborhoods and families that make this region what it is.” That philosophy carries into the company’s day-to-day operations, where the focus is on exceptional workmanship, clear communication, and standing behind every project.
Ranked #35 on the Power100 list, Ray Marzarella represents a model of leadership where business success and community impact move in lockstep. “Ray reminds us that the best home improvement companies are, at their core, community builders,” said Greg Cummings. “His team at All County Exteriors shows up for homeowners and for the causes that matter most in their region.”
