Zinga's

Founded by George Huizinga and built on 25+ years of real operating experience, Zinga's is the only franchise offering true full-property shading, including interior blinds, shades, and shutters alongside exterior pergolas, awnings, and motorized screens, all under one brand, one crew, and one customer relationship. Headquartered in Indianapolis with 7 corporate and affiliate locations today, Zinga's gives owners a rare dual revenue stream (52.6% indoor, 47.4% outdoor) that most competitors can't touch. We believe homeowners shouldn't have to hire one company for their blinds and another for their patio shading. Zinga's does both. Zinga's is advancing the home services industry through a relationship first sales model, vertically integrated product sourcing, and a support system built for owners, not just operators. Our national sales center books qualified appointments directly onto owners' calendars, our digital marketing is managed for you, and our in-home sales process uses physical and digital catalogs, hand samples, and same visit pricing to close on the spot. Owners are trained to be the "mayor" of their market, building referral and B2B relationships with builders, designers, and real estate agents, while our team, led by George himself, is committed to working alongside franchisees in their markets for a successful launch. We believe in servanthood as a core value, not a tagline, and it shows in a five star customer experience, every time.
