Home Genius Exteriors Shines with Three National Accolades in 2026

Home Genius Exteriors is thrilled to announce a stellar year as it receives three notable national honors, affirming its status as one of the fastest-growing home improvement companies in the nation. These accolades include a remarkable No. 465 ranking on the Inc. 5000 list, the designation as a PEOPLE® Company That Cares, and recognition in Roofing Contractor magazine's 2026 Top 100 "Ones to Watch" list. Each of these awards underscores different aspects of the company’s philosophy—growth, employee-centered culture, and recognition within the industry.

A Growing Legacy in Home Improvement

Founded by Jeff Gunhus, Max Alesi, Brent Miller, and Austin Killian, Home Genius Exteriors has steadily transformed from a local enterprise into a rapidly expanding national player. The company prides itself on its commitment to delivering a unique experience for both homeowners and employees. As Gunhus stated, "Our mission to create A Different Experience continues to shape our growth. This recognition belongs to our Geniuses and the homeowners who trust us with their homes." The Inc. 5000 list serves as a yardstick for identifying America's most effective private companies, ranking them based on their revenue growth over a three-year period. This prestigious achievement solidifies Home Genius Exteriors among the indomitable 10% of the fastest-growing private enterprises in the U.S.

Commitment to People and Community

The 2026 PEOPLE® Companies That Care accolade is particularly meaningful for Home Genius Exteriors. Recognizing organizations that blend commercial success with a strong commitment to their workforce and local communities, this award was driven by employee feedback and experiences. Gunhus emphasized the importance of creating a workplace that fosters growth and well-being. "Growth matters only when you're building something valuable for people to be part of," he remarked, reflecting the company’s deep-rooted belief in nurturing its employees and supporting local communities.

In collaboration with Great Place To Work®, the PEOPLE® recognition drew insights from over 1.3 million worker survey responses across 7.3 million employees. It highlighted the crucial balance Home Genius Exteriors maintains between business success and employee satisfaction.

Industry Recognition and Future Aspirations

In addition to the accolades mentioned, Roofing Contractor magazine's selection of Home Genius Exteriors as a company to watch further emphasizes its impact in the roofing sector.
