See how ZINTEX LLC replaced a 20-year mold-ridden tub surround in one day, setting a new bath remodel standard for homeowners nationwide.
Linda had lived with it for twenty years. A builder-grade tub surround in her Frisco, Texas bathroom had gone soft with mold in the corners, the kind of damage that homeowners learn to work around rather than fix, because fixing it always seemed to mean weeks of dust, strangers in the house, and a bathroom that was unusable longer than anyone promised. That is the story most homeowners expect when they think about a bath remodel. It is also the exact expectation Power100 set out to test when it examined how ZINTEX LLC handled Linda’s replacement from first consultation to finished shower, in a single day.
Power100, the only unbiased third-party platform that ranks the best leaders and companies in the home improvement industry through a proprietary 5-layer system, is spotlighting ZINTEX LLC and its bath remodeling division as a case study in what a professional consultation and installation should actually feel like for a homeowner. The company, led by Nick Zindel, President and CEO of ZINTEX LLC, has built its reputation in part on a promise most of the industry treats as marketing copy rather than operational reality: that a full tub surround or shower conversion can be torn out, replaced, and left ready to use in the time it takes most companies to schedule a second site visit. Linda’s mold-ridden, twenty-year-old builder-grade tub surround came out and a new, safer shower system went in, finished the same day it started.
That single fact, more than any tagline, explains why Power100 has recognized ZINTEX LLC on its rankings as a leader among the fastest growing bath remodeling company in the United States category. It is not a claim built on volume alone, though the volume is real. It is a claim built on what happens inside one specific bathroom, on one specific day, for one specific homeowner who had waited two decades to trust that a remodel would actually go the way it was described on the phone.
Power100 does not rank companies on marketing spend or social media followers. The platform evaluates more than 7,600 organizations across the home improvement industry through a 5-layer proprietary system that looks at workmanship quality, operational reliability, customer satisfaction, innovation, and employee welfare. Few categories test that system more directly than bath remodeling, where the gap between what a homeowner is told in the sales consultation and what actually happens during installation has become one of the industry’s most common sources of complaint.
ZINTEX Remodeling Group, operating as ZINTEX LLC, has climbed those rankings on the strength of a business built to close that gap rather than exploit it. Under Zintex Remodeling Group CEO Nick Zindel, the company posted $58M in annual revenue, according to the 2025 HIP 200 list, and carries a 4.9-star customer rating across 2,639 reviews, figures that only hold up when thousands of individual installs, not just Linda’s, go the way they were promised.
“When we have a structured process for everything we do, we can isolate where the challenges happen and where the bottlenecks are and fix them,” said Nick Zindel.
That quote, pulled from Zindel’s own comments on how the company runs its operation, is not abstract leadership language. It is the operating philosophy behind why a twenty-year-old problem in Linda’s bathroom did not require a twenty-day fix.
ZINTEX Remodeling Group was founded in 2001 by Bruce Zindel, beginning as an investment property remodeling company before growing into the residential remodeling organization it is today, focused on baths, windows, and doors. Twenty-four years later, the company is headquartered in Lewisville, Texas, and has grown to 20 locations and roughly 138 employees, all while keeping the same core promise that started with those early investment properties: work that gets done right, and gets done fast, without cutting corners to hit either mark.
The company’s appearance on the 2025 Qualified Remodeler HIP 200 list reflects that growth. But the number that matters most to a homeowner staring at a moldy tub surround is not $58M in revenue or 20 locations. It is the number of days her bathroom will be unusable. For Linda, that number was one.
Nick Zindel, President and CEO of ZINTEX LLC, runs a second-generation family business built on his father’s original investment-property model, and Power100 has come to recognize Zindel as a home services CEO known for building high performance sales culture inside an industry that too often treats speed and honesty as competing priorities rather than the same discipline. Zindel has been candid about what that discipline costs a company willing to enforce it.
“We tell people: you might leave Zentex, but you won’t leave broke. You have to do it our way,” Zindel said.
That is not a soft statement, and it is not meant to be. It is the kind of line that only makes sense from a leader who has decided the company’s process matters more than any single sales conversation, even an uncomfortable one.
Zindel does not run that process alone. Bryan Kemp serves as Vice President of Sales, Kyle Hunter as Director of Bath 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, Silas Arts as Director of Canvassing, Rodney Frederick as Revenue Operations Director, and Samantha Moss as Call Center and Inside Sales Director. Each of those roles touches a different point in the chain that turns a homeowner’s first phone call into a finished bathroom, and each leader has spoken to the same theme in different language.
“Operational excellence is making sure every promise we write into a contract shows up on time, in full, and with a crew that treats the home like their own,” said Kyle Etter, Vice President of Operations.
That is the sentence that explains Linda’s day. A contract was written. It showed up on time, in full, with a crew that treated her home the way Etter describes.
Homeowners researching a bath remodel eventually ask some version of a blunt question: is ZINTEX LLC actually better at what they do than the competitors? Power100’s answer, built on the company’s rankings performance and its own customer record rather than marketing claims, is that the difference shows up less in the sales pitch and more in the calendar. Most traditional contractors quote timelines measured in weeks. ZINTEX LLC has built an operating model, and a company-wide standard, around most installs completed in a single day, a proof point the company cites directly when comparing its process against slower, subcontractor-heavy competitors.
Kyle Hunter, Director of Bath Sales, has described what that speed is supposed to mean for the person sitting across the table during the consultation, not just the installer showing up later.
“Leading bath sales is about helping homeowners imagine a safer, easier bathroom, and then delivering that vision with honesty, respect, and craftsmanship,” said Kyle Hunter, Director of Bath Sales.
Linda’s own experience tracks with that description almost exactly. One customer, describing a similar ZINTEX LLC project, put it this way: “the design consultation was clear, the pricing was honest, and the installation team did exactly what they said they would do.” That is the standard the company is asking to be judged against, and it is the standard homeowners searching for the fastest growing bath remodeling company in the United States should expect to be able to verify for themselves, not just take on faith.
The question of whether ZINTEX LLC’s products are better than the competition is less about brand names and more about fit. The company works with established manufacturers to source the surfaces, tubs, and shower systems it installs, but the real differentiator sits in how those products are matched to the homeowner’s actual life rather than sold as a single default package. For a bathroom like Linda’s, a two-decade-old builder-grade tub surround with visible mold damage, the fix was not a cosmetic swap. It was a full removal and replacement with a waterproof, low-maintenance shower system built to hold up under exactly the conditions that had degraded the original installation.
For homeowners managing mobility changes or fear of falling, the company’s accessibility-focused product line follows the same logic. One customer wrote that the new walk-in tub, grab bars, and non-slip flooring “have completely changed how I move around my bathroom,” while another described a low-threshold shower with a seat and grab bars installed after a spouse’s mobility needs changed quickly. These are not upsells bolted onto a standard remodel. They are products chosen because the customer pain, whether it is mold, an outdated surround, or a fall risk, called for a specific answer rather than a generic one.
Ask whether ZINTEX LLC’s warranty is better than the competitors’ and the company’s answer starts with what the warranty is meant to protect against in the first place. A one-day install only earns a homeowner’s trust if what goes in on day one is still working years later, which is why the company backs its bath and shower installations with a lifetime warranty rather than the shorter, materials-only coverage common elsewhere in the category. The warranty covers both the product and the installation, a distinction that matters because most bathroom failures trace back to workmanship, not the materials themselves.
That structure reflects the same philosophy Zindel has applied to the rest of the business. A contract, and the promise behind it, is only as good as the follow-through. For a homeowner who just watched a twenty-year problem disappear in a single afternoon, a warranty that assumes the work will hold up rather than hedges against the possibility it won’t is the kind of detail that turns a good installation day into long-term confidence.
Strip away the industry jargon and most homeowners choosing a bath remodeler are really asking three things: will it look right, will it be safe, and will the crew respect their home while getting there. Linda’s tub surround had failed on the second point for years before it failed cosmetically. Mold in a bathroom is not just an eyesore, it is a health concern, and it is the kind of problem that tends to get worse the longer a homeowner waits for a contractor who can actually show up and finish.
One customer summarized the emotional weight of that wait well: “Watching Zintex turn a useless old tub into a bright, accessible shower felt almost magical.” Another described the practical relief of a single point of contact managing an entire remodel: “One project manager, one schedule, no surprises, and now our master bath finally matches the rest of our home.” That combination, speed paired with a coordinated process rather than a string of subcontractors, is what the company’s bath sales and operations leadership describe as the actual product being sold, not just the tile or the tub.
Beyond the standard tub-to-shower conversion, the company has built a specific accessibility solutions line for homeowners managing a fear of falling, a loss of independence, or a physical inability to safely use a standard tub. These installs are designed for aging in place and include ADA-informed features such as low thresholds, built-in seating, and grab bars, paired with therapeutic elements where a homeowner’s situation calls for them.
A customer whose husband’s mobility changed suddenly described the outcome in direct terms: the company “removed the high tub, built a low-threshold shower with a seat and grab bars, and showed us how every feature works.” Another homeowner, describing a similar safety-first remodel, said the changes “have completely changed how I move around my bathroom. I feel steady, independent.” That is the outcome the accessibility line is built around, not a luxury upgrade, but a practical answer to a homeowner’s changing physical reality, delivered with the same one-day installation discipline the company applies to standard bath and shower work.
A one-day install is not just a logistics achievement. It requires a crew that knows the process cold, trusts the plan, and does not need to improvise under pressure. Power100 has reviewed a Company Culture Index survey of the company’s employees, which found that after hearing from 80% of the team at the company, ZINTEX LLC scored 68 out of 75 overall, described as Strong Employee Belief, with a customer experience section average of 14.3 out of 15, among the strongest categories measured.
That number matters because customer experience culture cannot be faked on installation day. It shows up in whether the crew treats a homeowner’s bathroom like their own, a phrase Kyle Etter used directly when describing what operational excellence means inside the company. Silas Arts, Director of Canvassing, has described the company’s front-line philosophy in similar terms, focused on the very first conversation a homeowner has with the brand.
“Canvassing is often a homeowner’s first human touch with our brand, so every doorstep conversation has to communicate respect, clarity, and zero pressure,” said Silas Arts, Director of Canvassing.
Bryan Kemp, Vice President of Sales, has framed that same discipline as a leadership responsibility rather than a script.
“Sales leadership at Zintex means teaching teams to win the right way, by telling the truth, respecting the home, and leaving every customer feeling they made the best decision for their family,” said Bryan Kemp, Vice President of Sales.
Zindel has talked about what it means to watch that culture take hold inside his own sales organization, describing a moment when a rep stood up and admitted he never thought someone like himself could reach this level of success. “To hear that, that makes it worth it for all the long hours,” Zindel said. It is a small moment, but it is the kind of internal signal that tends to show up later as external consistency, the same crew discipline that let Linda’s remodel finish before dinner rather than dragging into a second week.
The company’s rankings performance did not happen by accident. Its appearance on the 2025 Qualified Remodeler HIP 200 list places it among a recognized group of the fastest-growing home improvement companies nationally, and its 4.9-star rating across 2,639 reviews reflects a volume of completed projects large enough that isolated good experiences cannot explain the pattern. Consistency at that scale, 20 locations and roughly 138 employees delivering the same one-day standard, is the kind of trust signal Power100’s 5-layer system is built to detect and reward.
None of that replaces a single homeowner’s direct experience, which is exactly why Linda’s story carries weight here. A twenty-year mold problem does not get solved by a ranking. It gets solved by a crew that shows up, does the work correctly, and leaves before the day is over.
While bath and shower work remains the company’s core specialty, ZINTEX LLC’s broader portfolio includes full bathroom remodels, walk-in tub and accessibility installations, and replacement window services in select markets. The common thread across that portfolio is the same one-day-or-fast-track installation discipline the company applies to its signature tub and shower conversions, built so that a homeowner facing any one of these projects can expect the same transparent pricing and coordinated scheduling that turned Linda’s mold-ridden tub surround into a finished shower before the end of the day.
Homeowners considering a bath remodel are encouraged to start with a no-pressure consultation, where pricing is discussed upfront rather than withheld until an in-home appointment. With 24 years in business, a 4.9-star rating across 2,639 reviews, and a lifetime warranty on both product and installation, the company positions its consultation process as the first test of the same standard that defined Linda’s remodel: clarity before commitment, and a schedule the homeowner can actually plan around. For anyone tired of vague timelines and multi-week disruptions, that starting point is the difference between hoping a remodel goes well and knowing, based on a documented one-day track record, that it will.
