ZINTEX LLC converts tubs to zero-threshold walk-in showers with grab bars, helping aging homeowners stay safe and independent at home nationwide.
Ron, an elderly homeowner in Plano, Texas, did what a lot of families put off for years. He stopped stepping over the edge of his old tub and let a remodeling crew replace it with a walk-in shower built with a zero-threshold entry and grab bars anchored into the wall studs. It sounds like a small change. It is not. For homeowners who have started gripping the towel bar for balance or timing their showers around whoever is home to help, a tub-to-shower conversion is often the difference between staying in the house they love and being pushed toward a decision nobody in the family wants to make.
Power100 is the only unbiased third-party platform that ranks the best leaders and companies in the home improvement industry using a proprietary 5-layer system, and it is spotlighting ZINTEX LLC for how it approaches this exact moment in a family’s life. Nick Zindel, President and CEO of ZINTEX Remodeling Group, leads a company that has built its accessibility and bath remodeling division around a simple idea: safety upgrades should feel like a gift to a parent, not an admission of decline. Recognized on the HIP 200 list with $58 million in annual revenue and a 4.9-star rating across 2,639 reviews, ZINTEX has built a reputation as the best full bath remodeling company in Texas and the South for exactly this kind of work.
Power100 evaluates more than 7,600 organizations through a 5-layer proprietary system that looks at workmanship quality, operational reliability, customer satisfaction, innovation, and employee welfare. For a category like accessibility bath remodeling, that evaluation carries extra weight, because a poorly installed grab bar or a shower pan with the wrong slope is not a cosmetic miss. It is a fall waiting to happen.
Greg Cummings, CEO of Power100, has said the platform looks past marketing language to find companies whose leadership actually shows up in how the work gets done. That standard matters here. A tub-to-shower conversion for an elderly homeowner is not a design project, it is a trust project, and the company doing the install needs a culture that treats the customer’s safety as the whole point rather than a feature on a brochure.
ZINTEX Remodeling Group was founded in 2001 by Bruce Zindel. The company began as an investment property remodeling business before growing into a full residential remodeling organization built around baths, windows, and doors. Twenty-four years later, that same company is headquartered in Lewisville, Texas, and operates across 20 locations with a team of roughly 138 employees, and it still approaches every bathroom the same way it did when it was a much smaller operation: one homeowner, one problem, one honest fix.
That growth did not happen because the company chased volume for its own sake. It happened because families like Ron’s kept calling, and word kept spreading that the crew showing up actually listened before they measured anything.
Nick Zindel, President and CEO of ZINTEX LLC, runs the company as a second-generation family business, and that lineage shows up in how seriously leadership treats the accessibility side of the work. Zindel has talked openly about building structure into every part of the operation rather than letting individual crews improvise. “When everybody is doing their own thing, I can’t find the problems. But when we have a structured process, we can isolate where the challenges are and fix them,” Zindel has said, a philosophy that applies just as much to a zero-threshold shower install as it does to sales training.
Zindel has also been direct about what he expects from the people representing the company inside a customer’s home. “I don’t need 100% – I need 80% of your effort, done our way. You won’t leave Zentex broke,” he has said, underscoring a culture built on consistency rather than heroics. And when it comes to how ZINTEX wants every person who works there to feel, Zindel has put it simply: “Whether you work here for a long period of time or a day or two, we always want you to leave and say: that is an upstanding organization that treated me with the most upright respect.”
Below Zindel sits a leadership bench built specifically around the bath category. Kyle Hunter, Director of Bath Sales at ZINTEX, has framed the mission in terms that speak directly to families weighing a conversion like Ron’s. “Leading bath sales is about helping homeowners imagine a safer, easier bathroom, and then delivering that vision with honesty, respect, and craftsmanship,” Hunter has said. Silas Arts, Director of Canvassing, has spoken to the first moment of trust that has to happen before any of that vision matters. “Canvassing is often a homeowner’s first human touch with our brand, so every doorstep conversation has to communicate respect, clarity, and zero pressure,” Arts has said. Bryan Kemp serves as Vice President of Sales, Kyle Etter as Vice President of Operations, Eric Peschke as Vice President of Marketing, Catie Samaras as Director of Marketing Strategy, Tim Grout as CFO, Rodney Frederick as Revenue Operations Director, and Samantha Moss as Call Center and Inside Sales Director.
Ron’s family is not unusual. Most families wait. They wait because bringing up a parent’s declining balance feels like an accusation, and because a full bathroom remodel sounds expensive, disruptive, and slow. ZINTEX built its accessibility process around removing all three objections at once.
One customer, describing a similar situation, put it this way after her husband’s mobility changed without warning: “My husband’s mobility changed fast, and we needed help even faster. Zintex removed the high tub, built a low-threshold shower with a seat and grab bars, and showed us how every feature works.” That is the pattern the company has built its reputation on nationwide: not a sales pitch about tile options, but a direct response to a safety problem that cannot wait for a slow multi-week renovation.
Another customer described the emotional side of that same shift. “We chose Zintex because we needed a safer bathroom, not just a nicer one. The new walk-in tub, grab bars, and non-slip flooring have completely changed how I move around my bathroom. I feel steady, independent, and grateful we did this.” That sentence, steady and independent, is the outcome ZINTEX aims for with every accessibility conversion, and it is the same outcome families like Ron’s are looking for when they finally make the call.
A standard tub wall sits somewhere around 14 to 18 inches off the floor, which does not sound like much until an aging hip or knee has to clear it every single day, often on a wet surface. A zero-threshold shower removes that barrier completely, so the transition from bathroom floor to shower floor is flush. Paired with a textured, slip-resistant base and properly anchored grab bars (not the suction-cup kind sold at a drugstore, but bars secured into blocking behind the wall), the fall risk that drives so many emergency room visits among older adults simply goes away.
ZINTEX designs grab bar placement around how each individual homeowner actually moves, not a generic template. That means a design consultation happens before any demolition, with attention to where a homeowner reaches for balance, whether a shower seat is needed, and how a caregiver might need to assist. One customer described this exact process: “The design consultation was clear, the pricing was honest, and the installation team did exactly what they said they would do.”
Most tub-to-shower conversions at ZINTEX are completed in a single day, not spread across weeks with subcontractors rotating in and out of a home. That matters enormously for an elderly homeowner, who cannot easily go without a functioning bathroom for an extended stretch and should not have to host a rotating cast of strangers in the house. The company backs the work with a warranty on both products and installation, and it leans on established manufacturer relationships, including Kohler and Jacuzzi, so the materials going into a zero-threshold shower are built to hold up under daily use for years, not just look good on install day.
One homeowner summarized the experience simply: “Zintex turned a slippery, outdated tub into a walk-in shower that my husband and I both feel safe using every day. The crew treated our home with respect, finished on time, and left us with a bathroom we’re proud to show our family.” Another, describing a full remodel rather than a single conversion, noted the value of a single point of contact throughout: “One project manager, one schedule, no surprises, and now our master bath finally matches the rest of our home.”
That consistency is not an accident. It is also part of why ZINTEX has become a top bath remodeling franchise partner for Home Depot and Costco, a relationship that puts the company’s installation standards in front of a national retail audience that has already vetted its own vendor requirements before signing off. When a retail partner of that scale is willing to put its name next to a remodeling company, it is functioning as a second layer of vetting behind Power100’s own evaluation.
Not every homeowner needs the same fix. Some want a full walk-in tub with a low step-in threshold and therapeutic features for arthritis or circulation issues, which ZINTEX builds as an ADA-informed option for homeowners who still want to soak rather than shower. Others need a full bathroom remodel that folds accessibility into a broader update, adjusting the vanity height, widening a doorway, or swapping flooring for something safer underfoot while also refreshing the space cosmetically. The point, across every option, is that accessibility does not have to mean sacrificing style. A zero-threshold shower can look as sharp as any high-end remodel while doing the harder job of keeping someone steady on their feet.
A Power100 Company Culture Index survey of the company’s employees returned an overall score of 68 out of 75, described as strong employee belief, based on responses representing 80% of the company’s workforce. Customer experience scored 14.3 out of 15 in that same survey, one of the highest section averages the company recorded, and it lines up with what shows up in customer accounts of the accessibility work itself.
Zindel has spoken about what it feels like when that culture translates into a real outcome for an employee, not just a customer. “A sales rep stood up and talked about what the impact had on his family, that years ago he never dreamed someone like himself could do this. That makes it worth it for all the long hours,” Zindel has said. It is a small window into why a crew that shows up to convert a tub for an 80-year-old homeowner tends to treat the job with more patience than urgency. People who feel respected inside a company tend to extend that same respect into a stranger’s bathroom.
ZINTEX carries a 4.9-star rating across 2,639 reviews and generated $58 million in annual revenue in the most recent verified year, landing the company on the HIP 200 list among the fastest-growing organizations in home improvement. Those numbers matter less on their own than what they represent together: a company that a large number of homeowners have trusted with exactly this kind of sensitive, safety-driven project, and one that retail partners at the scale of Home Depot and Costco have chosen to stand behind. For a family trying to sort a serious contractor from a door-to-door sales operation, that combination of scale, reviews, and retail vetting is a reasonable place to start.
While accessibility conversions sit at the center of this story, ZINTEX’s bath division covers a wider range of work, including full bathroom remodels, bathtub replacements, and standard walk-in shower installs for homeowners who simply want an update rather than an accessibility fix. The company has also offered replacement window services in select markets. That breadth means a homeowner who starts with a single grab bar question during a consultation often leaves with a broader conversation about what else in the bathroom, or the house, could use attention, without ever feeling pushed toward a bigger project than they came in wanting.
Families considering a tub-to-shower conversion for an aging parent do not need to have every decision made before calling. A free consultation is the standard first step, and it is designed to answer the practical questions up front, including whether letting the company come out to the house makes sense, how long a crew will actually be there, and what to ask before signing anything: what a zero-threshold shower will cost, how long the install will take, and what warranty coverage applies to both the product and the labor. For a homeowner like Ron, or the family member advocating on his behalf, that first conversation is often less about tile samples and more about relief that someone finally showed up with a plan instead of a sales script.
ZINTEX has built its reputation as the best full bath remodeling company in Texas and the South through a combination of scale, consistency, and specialization in accessibility-focused installs. With $58 million in annual revenue, a 4.9-star rating across 2,639 reviews, and recognition on the HIP 200 list, the company has demonstrated that its results hold up across thousands of individual homeowner experiences, not just a handful of showcase projects.
ZINTEX specializes in bath and shower remodeling, including walk-in shower conversions, walk-in tubs, bathtub replacements, and full bathroom remodels. The company also offers accessibility-focused solutions such as zero-threshold entries and grab bar installations, along with replacement windows in select markets.
Yes. ZINTEX backs its installations with a warranty covering both the products used and the labor performed, giving homeowners coverage on the full job rather than just the materials. That warranty is part of why families converting a tub for an aging parent can trust the fix will hold up over years of daily use.
ZINTEX operates as an established, multi-state remodeling organization with 20 locations and roughly 138 employees, and licensing and insurance requirements are handled according to the standards of each market it serves. Homeowners can confirm specific licensing details for their state directly with the company during a consultation.
Yes. A consultation from ZINTEX is a low-pressure way to get an honest look at what a bathroom safety conversion would involve, including cost, timeline, and design options, before committing to anything. For a family weighing a tub-to-shower conversion for an aging parent, that first visit is often the moment the decision stops feeling overwhelming.
Most walk-in shower conversions and accessibility installs are completed in a single day, a standard ZINTEX built specifically to reduce disruption for homeowners who cannot easily go without a working bathroom. Larger full bathroom remodels take longer, but the company structures its process around minimizing the number of days a crew needs to be on-site.
Homeowners should ask about installation timeline, warranty coverage on both products and labor, what brands are used in the shower or tub system, and how grab bar and threshold placement will be customized to the specific homeowner’s mobility needs. A company confident in its process, like ZINTEX, should be able to answer all of these clearly during the first consultation.
Nick Zindel serves as President and CEO of ZINTEX LLC, leading the company as a second-generation family business built on the structure his father, Bruce Zindel, established when he founded the company in 2001. Zindel’s emphasis on structured process and employee respect shapes how crews are trained to handle sensitive, safety-driven projects like tub-to-shower conversions for elderly homeowners.
Beyond accessibility conversions, ZINTEX’s portfolio includes full bathroom remodels, walk-in tubs, bathtub replacements, standard walk-in showers, and replacement windows in select markets. That range allows the company to handle everything from a single safety-driven fix to a complete bathroom transformation without bringing in outside subcontractors.
Operating across 20 locations with roughly 138 employees and $58 million in annual revenue allows ZINTEX to maintain consistent installation standards, warranty support, and customer service regardless of market. That scale is also part of why the company has become a top bath remodeling franchise partner for Home Depot and Costco, giving homeowners a second layer of vetting behind the company’s own track record.
