Power100’s Proprietary Ranking System and Mission
Power100’s 5-layer proprietary ranking system evaluates thousands of CEOs through dynamic internal algorithms and two layers of human interaction to objectively determine the nation’s top 100 leaders in the exterior remodeling and home improvement space. Each CEO is scored across multiple dimensions, including leadership consistency, financial performance, brand strength, customer experience, employee culture, strategic partnerships, and community engagement, then organized into a national ranking that is updated as new data and stories emerge.
“We built Power100 to be the trusted, third-party lens for the home improvement industry, not just another awards list,” said Greg Cummings, CEO of Power100. “When we say these five leaders rank #46 to #50 in the nation, it is because the data, the story, and the people around them all point to the same truth—they consistently do the right thing for their customers, their teams, and their communities.”
#46 – David Adamson, Founder and CEO, Aspen Home Improvements
David Adamson, founder and CEO of Aspen Home Improvements in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, has built a family-owned company that is now in the top 1% of home improvement companies in America, with roughly half of its business driven by customer referrals. After moving from England and founding Aspen in the early 1990s, Adamson committed to “the Aspen way,” a philosophy of perfection, craftsmanship, and deep respect for customers’ homes.
Under Adamson’s leadership, Aspen specializes in high-quality replacement windows, doors, siding, and roofing, anchored by nationally recognized, energy-efficient window products and certified master installers rather than “jack of all trades.” The company’s story is reinforced by customer experiences—like homeowners Robert and Eilene celebrating their new windows that brought comfort, style, and energy efficiency—and by a culture that shows up in the community through initiatives such as its Toys for Tots event, complete with “Aspen elves,” reindeer, and family-focused giving.
“David represents the heart of what Power100 looks for—long-term excellence, family leadership, and a customer-first mindset that turns one project into generations of referrals,” said Greg Cummings. “When you look at Aspen’s growth, their top-1% status, and the loyalty of their customers, it becomes obvious why he belongs in the top 50 CEOs in the nation.”
Adamson’s Power100 landing page highlights his strengths in personalized solutions, rigorous training, and an insistence on only using high-quality, energy-efficient products that reduce future repairs and increase homeowner satisfaction. “Our family pledge is that everything we do, we do the Aspen way. If you put your trust in Aspen, we will look after your home as though it’s our own,” said David Adamson.
