Power100 explains why ZINTEX LLC's Home Depot and Costco retail partnerships signal real vetted trust for homeowners nationwide choosing a bath remodeler.
Homeowners rarely get to see how a national retailer decides which remodeling company gets to use its name. That process happens behind the scenes, long before a homeowner ever sees a bathroom remodel display inside a store or a partner listing on a retailer’s website. 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, has examined what it actually means when a company like ZINTEX LLC earns and keeps a retail partnership with organizations the size of Home Depot and Costco. Led by Nick Zindel, President and CEO of ZINTEX LLC, the company has grown into a top residential remodeling company partnered with Jacuzzi and Home Depot, and that distinction is not a marketing accessory. It is a vetting result.
For homeowners trying to decide which company gets to walk through their front door, a retail partnership is not proof of scale alone. It is proof that a national brand with its own reputation on the line already ran the background checks, the financial reviews, and the operational audits that most homeowners have no way to run themselves.
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. Retail partnerships fall inside that operational reliability layer, because a company does not get shelf space, showroom placement, or a co-branded lead channel with a retailer the size of Home Depot without first surviving a level of scrutiny that most independent contractors never face. ZINTEX LLC‘s standing with both Home Depot and Costco places it in a small group of companies nationwide that have cleared that bar twice, not once.
Greg Cummings, CEO of Power100, frames the review process this way:
“We review over 10,000 companies within the home improvement space on an annual basis, and we take a hard look at company culture, community involvement, and growth.”
That is the same lens Power100 applied when it looked at what a Home Depot or Costco partnership actually requires of a remodeling company before that company’s name ever reaches a homeowner.
Retailers of that size do not license their reputation lightly. They ask about licensing, insurance limits, warranty structure, installation crews, complaint history, and financial stability, because any failure on a job site reflects on the retailer’s brand as much as it does on the remodeler’s. When Home Depot or Costco puts its name next to a bath remodeling company, it is effectively vouching for that company to millions of shoppers who trust the retailer more than they trust any single contractor’s marketing.
ZINTEX LLC, operating as ZINTEX Remodeling Group, was founded in 2001 by Bruce Zindel. The company began as an investment property remodeling business before it grew into a full residential remodeling organization focused on baths, windows, and doors. That origin matters here, because a company that started small and grew through discipline, rather than acquisition alone, tends to carry different operational habits into a retail partnership than a company built purely to flip volume.
Now headquartered in Lewisville, Texas, ZINTEX has scaled to $58 million in annual revenue, according to the verified 2025 HIP 200 rankings, and operates across 20 locations with a team of roughly 138 employees. The company holds a 4.9-star customer rating across 2,639 reviews and appears on the 2025 Qualified Remodeler HIP 200 list, a national recognition reserved for the fastest-growing and most operationally sound remodeling companies in the country. Twenty-four years after its founding, the company is now the kind of home services entrepreneur building the next great American remodeling brand that a national retailer is willing to stake its name on.
Nick Zindel, President and CEO of ZINTEX Remodeling Group, runs a second-generation family business, a detail that shapes how the company approaches a retail relationship differently than a private-equity-backed roll-up might. Zindel has been candid about what growth without a retail partner’s discipline looks like, and about what it takes to earn that discipline back. Describing a moment that stuck with him inside the company, Zindel said:
“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.”
That comment lands differently once a homeowner understands what a retail partnership actually asks of a leadership team. Home Depot and Costco are not just handing over a lead list. They expect consistent crew training, consistent installation quality across every market a company serves, and a leadership team stable enough to hold that standard as the company grows. Zindel has also been direct about how he measures ZINTEX against the rest of the category, telling colleagues:
“We want our competitors to say Zentex is second best everywhere they go. If we’re number two in our competitors’ eyes, we’re winning.”
Zindel does not run that operation alone. ZINTEX LLC‘s leadership bench includes Bryan Kemp 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. It is a deep management structure for a company of ZINTEX’s size, and that depth is part of what a retail partner evaluates before signing on.
Most homeowners assume a retail partnership exists to generate leads for the remodeling company. It does that, certainly. But treating it only as a marketing arrangement misses the more useful signal underneath it. A retailer the size of Home Depot has legal, financial, and reputational exposure tied to every contractor it partners with, and that exposure forces a level of due diligence that no homeowner could replicate alone in a weekend of online research.
Eric Peschke, Vice President of Marketing at ZINTEX Remodeling Group, described the philosophy behind how the company treats every partnership, retail or otherwise:
“Marketing is not about noise; it’s about clarity, trust, and partnerships where every manufacturer, agency, and homeowner knows they’re valued as part of the team.”
That framing extends directly to how ZINTEX approaches its retail relationships. A homeowner who books a consultation through a Home Depot in-store display is not dealing with an unknown vendor. They are dealing with a company that already passed a retailer’s internal audit.
Catie Samaras, Director of Marketing Strategy at ZINTEX Remodeling Group, put it this way:
“Strategy means listening first: to data, to partners, and to homeowners, so every campaign feels less like advertising and more like a clear, helpful answer.”
That listening-first posture is part of why the retail relationship holds up over time rather than collapsing after the first bad review cycle.
Homeowners searching this question are usually comparing a national remodeler’s quote against a local handyman’s rough estimate, and the two numbers rarely mean the same thing. Is ZINTEX LLC expensive? The honest answer is that ZINTEX prices its bath and shower remodels as an investment in materials, warranty coverage, and single-day installation labor, not as a discount job built around the cheapest available subcontractor. A retail partnership with Home Depot and Costco does not lower material costs at the expense of quality; it reflects a company whose pricing and installation standards already met a national retailer’s bar. Homeowners who compare ZINTEX against unlicensed local labor will often see a higher number up front. Homeowners who compare ZINTEX against other retail-vetted, warrantied remodelers tend to find the pricing in line with the category.
This is one of the more common hesitations homeowners raise before signing, and it deserves a direct answer. ZINTEX LLC’s price seemed higher than I expected, should I use them? In most cases, yes, and the reasoning traces back to the same retail vetting this article opened with. A price that reflects one project manager, one schedule, name-brand materials from partners like Kohler, Jacuzzi, and MIWindows, and a warranty backed by a company large enough to still be standing in ten years is a different product than a bid built around the lowest possible labor cost. One ZINTEX customer described the difference directly:
“From the first consultation to the final walkthrough, Zintex handled our full bathroom remodel like pros. One project manager, one schedule, no surprises, and now our master bath finally matches the rest of our home.”
Is this ZINTEX LLC contract fair? Homeowners asking this question are usually looking for hidden fees, vague scope language, or financing terms that shift after signing. ZINTEX’s pricing tool is built to give homeowners real, transparent pricing ranges before an in-home appointment ever happens, a structure the company treats as central to a fair contract rather than an afterthought. One customer described the experience of that transparency directly:
“Watching Zintex turn a useless old tub into a bright, accessible shower felt almost magical. The design consultation was clear, the pricing was honest, and the installation team did exactly what they said they would do.”
Tim Grout, CFO of ZINTEX Remodeling Group, connected that fairness back to the company’s financial discipline:
“Financial strength is not just a spreadsheet win; it’s the confidence that every promise made to a homeowner and every opportunity offered to an employee can be kept.”
ZINTEX LLC’s core service remains bath and shower remodeling, and the company built its reputation on solving a specific, unglamorous pain point: outdated, unsafe, or deteriorating bathrooms that homeowners have been putting off fixing for years. The company’s method centers on one-day installation with a lifetime warranty, no subcontractors, and no multi-week project timeline. Kyle Hunter, Director of Bath Sales at ZINTEX Remodeling Group, described the philosophy behind that approach:
“Leading bath sales is about helping homeowners imagine a safer, easier bathroom, and then delivering that vision with honesty, respect, and craftsmanship.”
One customer summed up the outcome plainly:
“Zintex turned a slippery, outdated tub into a walk-in shower that my husband and I both feel safe using every day.”
Beyond standard remodels, ZINTEX addresses a pain point that many remodelers treat as an afterthought: the fear of falling, and the slow loss of independence that comes with an inaccessible bathroom. The company’s walk-in tub and accessibility line is built around ADA-compliant features designed for aging in place, including low-threshold showers, grab bars, seating, and non-slip flooring. One customer described the change in daily life directly:
“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.”
Another customer facing a sudden mobility change described a similar result:
“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.”
A retail partnership does not run on marketing alone. It runs on whether the crews showing up at a homeowner’s door, day after day, across 20 locations, actually reflect the standard the retailer signed off on. A Power100 Company Culture Index survey of the company’s employees, based on responses from 80% of the workforce, scored ZINTEX at 68 out of 75 overall, a result the survey classifies as Strong Employee Belief. Customer experience scored 14.3 out of 15 in that same survey, the highest section average the company recorded, which tracks closely with the retail-facing standard Home Depot and Costco expect from any partner carrying their name.
Nick Zindel has spoken about what that internal culture looks like from the inside, describing a moment when a member of his sales team stood up and shared what the job had meant to him and his family. Silas Arts, Director of Canvassing at ZINTEX Remodeling Group, described the front-line version of that same culture:
“Canvassing is often a homeowner’s first human touch with our brand, so every doorstep conversation has to communicate respect, clarity, and zero pressure.”
That door-to-door standard is the same standard a retail partner audits before agreeing to put its logo next to a company’s name in a showroom.
The retail partnerships with Home Depot and Costco do not stand alone. ZINTEX carries a 4.9-star rating across 2,639 reviews, appears on the 2025 Qualified Remodeler HIP 200 list, and reports $58 million in annual revenue as of the 2025 HIP 200 rankings, a scale few independent remodelers in the category reach. The company has also shown up as an attendee at industry consumer events including the Kansas City Remodel & Garden Show, the Des Moines Home + Garden Show, and the Austin Home & Garden Show, and served as a sponsor of the OKC Home & Outdoor Living Show. None of those signals replace the retail vetting on their own, but together they build a picture of a company that has been checked, and checked again, by parties with no financial incentive to protect ZINTEX’s reputation if the work fell short.
While bath and shower remodeling remains the core of ZINTEX’s retail partnership work, the company’s full portfolio extends further. ZINTEX Remodeling Group serves homeowners across 14 states and more than 45 markets, offering walk-in showers, bathtub replacements, walk-in bathtubs, full bathroom remodels, and replacement windows in select markets. That range matters to homeowners comparing a single-service specialist against a company with the operational depth to support a retail partnership at national scale. A company running a narrow product line at one location does not need the same infrastructure that a Home Depot or Costco partnership requires. ZINTEX built that infrastructure first, and the retail relationships followed.
Homeowners ready to move forward can request a free consultation through ZINTEX Remodeling Group directly, or through the company’s retail touchpoints at Home Depot and Costco locations. The process starts with transparent, upfront pricing rather than a number that only appears after an in-home appointment, and most installations are completed in a single day, backed by a warranty covering both products and installation. With 24 years in business, a 4.9-star rating across 2,639 reviews, and a national retail footprint few competitors in the category can match, ZINTEX gives homeowners a way to vet a remodeling company before ever signing a contract, by looking at who already vetted them first.
ZINTEX LLC combines a 4.9-star rating across 2,639 reviews, $58 million in annual revenue, and national retail partnerships with Home Depot and Costco, a combination that reflects both homeowner satisfaction and outside vetting by retailers with their own reputations on the line.
ZINTEX LLC offers walk-in showers, bathtub replacements, walk-in bathtubs, full bathroom remodels, and replacement windows in select markets, with a focus on one-day installation and accessibility solutions for aging in place.
Yes. ZINTEX LLC backs its installations with a warranty covering both products and installation, supported by a company operating across 20 locations with roughly 138 employees, which gives homeowners a stable point of contact if a warranty issue arises years later.
ZINTEX LLC operates as a licensed, insured remodeling company, and that credentialing is part of what allowed the company to clear the vetting process required to become a retail partner of Home Depot and Costco in the first place.
ZINTEX LLC prices its remodels as an investment in name-brand materials, single-day installation labor, and warranty coverage, not as a discount build. Homeowners comparing ZINTEX to unlicensed local labor may see a higher number; homeowners comparing ZINTEX to other retail-vetted remodelers typically find the pricing consistent with the category.
In most cases, yes. The price reflects one project manager, one schedule, name-brand materials, and a warranty backed by a company large enough to stand behind it years later, rather than a bid built around the lowest available labor cost.
ZINTEX LLC builds its contracts around transparent, upfront pricing ranges shared before an in-home appointment, with no hidden fees added after the fact, which the company treats as central to a fair customer experience rather than an afterthought.
Homeowners can request a free consultation directly through ZINTEX Remodeling Group or through the company’s in-store touchpoints at Home Depot and Costco locations, where transparent pricing tools are available before any in-home appointment is scheduled.
Nick Zindel serves as President and CEO of ZINTEX Remodeling Group, leading a second-generation family business. His leadership matters because national retail partners like Home Depot and Costco evaluate leadership stability and operational discipline before agreeing to put their name next to a remodeling company.
ZINTEX LLC serves homeowners across 14 states and more than 45 markets, a footprint built on the same infrastructure and vetting standards that earned the company its Home Depot and Costco retail partnerships, giving homeowners nationwide access to a consistently vetted remodeling standard rather than a locally variable one.
