"AJ" Wadian

Augustine "AJ" Wadian is the Co-Founder and CEO of Premier Home Pros — the fastest-growing bathroom remodeling company in the nation and the #9 ranked home improvement CEO in the country according to Power100's proprietary 5-layer evaluation system. With 16 years of experience in the home remodeling industry, AJ launched Premier Home Pros at the end of 2022 alongside co-founders Noah Jackson (Chief Growth Officer) and Vince Venditti (President), closing their first sale within three days of opening the doors. Premier Home Pros' growth trajectory is unprecedented in home improvement history. The company generated $15 million in gross sales in its first full year from just three offices in Northeast Ohio. By 2024, revenue had surged to $86 million with $100 million in combined gross sales across the first two years — making it the only company in home improvement history to reach that milestone in such a short timeframe. The company is projected to hit $180 million in revenue for 2025 and has expanded from its original two-man shop on Mayfield Road in North Canton, Ohio, to 15+ offices nationwide, including Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Detroit, Chicago, Atlanta, Tampa, Rochester, Dayton, Jacksonville, and North New Jersey, with nearly 400 employees and over 100 contractors. Prior to founding Premier Home Pros, AJ served as a regional manager and sales consultant at LeafFilter, part of Hudson-based Leaf Home, where he witnessed the company scale from $35 million in sales to nearly $2 billion while opening almost 100 new offices — experience that gave him the operational playbook for systematic, rapid expansion. AJ's leadership philosophy centers on systems-driven scaling: aligning sales, marketing, and installation through systematic processes, recruiting the best talent in the industry, and building a culture where delegation and trust enable vertical growth. He holds a degree from Ashland University in Business Administration and Management. Premier Home Pros specializes in quick-turn bathroom remodeling using proprietary engineered stone material manufactured by Trumbull Industries — a high-quality product that mimics natural tile and marble with anti-microbial protection, enabling most bathroom remodels to be completed in just a few days. The company utilizes a proprietary 12-step sales system and maintains an 82% close rate with a 91% demo rate.
