As 2023 began, so too did a new era for Jim Ziminski, the roofing contractor wunderkind who helped his longtime employer, the Crane family, offload its exterior siding division, Crane Performance Siding, to Royal Building Products, before making its roofing division, Able Roofing, a nationally recognized brand.
The kismet meeting between Ziminski and his now business partner, Mike Blumenfeld, at last December’s “2022 Best of Success” conference in Scottsdale, Ariz., led to the creation of a consultancy firm, BZR Advisors, which hopes to replicate Blumenfeld’s success of consolidating multiple flooring operations under a single portfolio concern. That entity now generates more than $1 billion in revenue.
