A Leader Rising as ZINTEX Expands Across America

The momentum behind ZINTEX Remodeling Group has not gone unnoticed. As the company continues to grow and serve more homeowners across the country, its leadership has also earned national recognition. At the center of that recognition is CEO Nick Zindel, who has been ranked the #20 CEO in the nation for 2026 in the National Power Rankings.

The ranking highlights leaders who are shaping the future of the exterior remodeling industry through vision, execution, and impact. Zindel’s leadership stands out for one clear reason. He has taken a growing company and built a strong system of people, culture, and service that allows the business to expand while keeping the homeowner experience at the center.

“Everything we knew early on was really hard work. We knew we could talk to people, and we knew we could outwork someone.” — Nick Zindel

Today, Zintex operates across multiple markets and continues to scale its presence while maintaining the values that helped the company earn the trust of homeowners.

The story of Zintex began in 2001 with a simple goal. Build a remodeling company that homeowners could trust.

The company started as a small operation focused on improving homes and serving local families. Over time, that vision grew into something much bigger. As the business evolved, leadership passed to the next generation when Nick Zindel stepped in to guide the company forward.

What followed was a new chapter of growth and transformation. Zindel focused on building strong teams, creating leadership inside the organization, and expanding into new markets. His approach helped turn a growing company into a regional powerhouse in the home improvement industry.

Over the years, Zintex continued to expand its footprint across the United States. Today the company proudly serves homeowners in 11 states including Arkansas, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Texas.

Along the way, the company also reached major business milestones. Revenue grew rapidly as the team expanded operations and refined its service model. The company’s growth reflects a steady focus on delivering quality remodeling work while building a strong culture inside the organization.

For Zindel, the journey has always been about more than growth alone.

“We started with very little. A friend of mine sold his Corvette for working capital, and I spent a month convincing my dad to give me ten thousand dollars to help us get started.” — Nick Zindel.

As Zintex continues to grow, the company’s leadership philosophy remains focused on people, service, and long term trust with every homeowner they serve.

As the company expanded into new markets, Nick Zindel understood that growth could not depend on one leader alone. For Zintex to grow the right way, it needed strong leaders in every market who could guide teams, serve customers well, and carry the company’s values forward.

Zindel focused on developing leadership inside the organization. Instead of simply managing day to day operations, he invested time in mentoring managers and helping them grow into leaders who could take ownership of their markets. This approach helped the company build strong teams across the regions it serves.

He also worked to create systems that allow teams to operate with clarity and consistency. Clear processes, strong communication, and shared goals help every location deliver the same level of service. By building a foundation of leadership and structure, the company created a model that allows it to expand while staying aligned.

Zindel believes that real growth comes from helping people grow first.

“People are the first reason we continue to grow. We invest in them and make sure they have an avenue to grow and take on something bigger.” — Nick Zindel.

This focus on leadership development continues to shape the company’s future as it expands into new markets and strengthens the teams that serve homeowners every day.

As the company grew, one principle remained clear. Every homeowner’s experience matters.

Across every market it serves, ZINTEX Remodeling Group has worked to build a reputation based on reliability, quality work, and respect for the homeowner’s space. Each project is approached with the goal of creating lasting value for families while making the remodeling process smooth and transparent.

This commitment to service has helped the company earn trust across the many communities it serves. Teams are trained to communicate clearly with homeowners, stay organized throughout the project, and deliver work that meets high standards of craftsmanship.

For Zindel, maintaining this level of service is essential as the company continues to expand. Growth only matters if the experience for homeowners remains strong.

“Hospitality is one of our core values. Whether someone is a customer, a partner, an employee, or even someone just visiting our office, we want them to leave saying that Zintex treated them with honesty, respect, and integrity.” — Nick Zindel.

By building clear operational standards and reinforcing a culture of accountability, the company continues to deliver a consistent experience for homeowners across multiple states. This focus on trust and service has become one of the defining qualities behind the company’s continued success.

As the company continued to grow across new markets, one principle remained central to its identity. Growth should never come at the expense of doing what is right.

Under the leadership of Nick Zindel, the team has focused on building a culture where integrity and accountability guide every decision. From how teams communicate with homeowners to how employees support one another, the company places strong emphasis on doing business the right way.

That commitment to ethical leadership has earned meaningful recognition within the industry. The company received the prestigious Torch Award for Ethics from the Better Business Bureau, a distinction that celebrates organizations that demonstrate honesty, transparency, and strong values in their operations.

In addition to ethical leadership, the company’s continued expansion has also been recognized nationally. It earned a place on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest growing private companies in America, highlighting the remarkable pace at which the organization has scaled while maintaining strong standards.

For Zindel, these recognitions reflect the work of the entire team.

“If someone comes into contact with our company, whether they work here for years or just visit for a day, we want them to leave feeling like they interacted with a great group of people.” — Nick Zindel.

This focus on culture has helped create an environment where employees feel supported, leaders continue to grow, and homeowners feel confident placing their trust in the team.

While the company is known for transforming homes, its impact extends far beyond remodeling projects. The team also believes in giving back to the communities they serve.

Over the years, the company has supported initiatives that help improve the lives of veterans and families in need. Through partnerships with organizations such as Purple Heart Homes and Rebuilding Together, the company has contributed to projects that provide safe and accessible living spaces for those who have served the country.

These efforts often involve helping veterans make necessary home improvements so they can live comfortably and safely in their homes. For the team, these moments represent something deeper than construction work. They represent gratitude and service.

Zindel believes companies have a responsibility to support the communities that support them.

“If I can leave a legacy in Zintex, I want it to be that it was an organization that was led with a level of care that others don’t.” — Nick Zindel.

By participating in these initiatives, the company continues to strengthen its connection with the communities it serves while demonstrating that its mission extends beyond business growth.

Looking ahead, Nick Zindel remains focused on a vision that goes far beyond revenue or expansion alone. His long term goal is clear. He wants ZINTEX Remodeling Group to become the most trusted name in home improvement.

For Zindel, trust is built over time through consistent service, strong leadership, and a company culture that puts people first. As the organization continues to grow into new markets, the focus will remain on strengthening the systems and leaders that support that growth.

Expansion will continue to play a role in the company’s future, but the strategy is centered on growing the right way. That means developing leaders inside the organization who can guide teams, serve homeowners well, and protect the values that have helped shape the company’s identity.

Zindel believes the next chapter of growth will be defined by the leaders who rise within the company.

“The opportunity to give individuals here a chance to grow beyond their wildest dreams in a new role or a leadership role is what keeps me excited.” — Nick Zindel.

By continuing to develop strong teams and expanding thoughtfully into new communities, the company aims to strengthen its position as a trusted partner for homeowners across the country.

Recognition at a national level often reflects more than business success. It reflects the broader impact a leader has on an industry.

The decision to rank Nick Zindel as the #20 CEO in the nation for 2026 reflects the influence his leadership has had on both his organization and the remodeling sector as a whole. Through disciplined growth, leadership development, and a commitment to serving homeowners with integrity, Zindel has helped set an example of what modern leadership in the home improvement industry can look like.

At a time when the residential construction market continues to evolve, leaders who focus on building strong cultures and delivering consistent value stand out. Zindel’s journey from helping guide a family business to leading a multi state organization demonstrates how vision, persistence, and people focused leadership can drive meaningful progress.

This recognition also reflects a broader mission within the industry to highlight CEOs who are raising standards and creating lasting positive change for homeowners, employees, and the communities they serve.

Zindel remains humble about the recognition and credits the people around him.

“Those experiences that were difficult at the time prepared me for what Zintex would become. Without those lessons, Zintex would not be where it is today.” — Nick Zindel.

As leaders like Zindel continue to shape the future of remodeling, the industry moves closer to a standard where trust, service, and strong leadership define long term success.
