MOLLY MAID® INTRODUCES “A FRIEND LIKE MOLLY” CAMPAIGN, ELEVATING TRUST AT THE HEART OF ITS BRAND PROMISE

Paul Zboichyk2026-04-10T21:49:21-04:00April 10th, 2026|Tags: Molly Maid, nation's leading residential cleaning franchise, Neighborly, residential cleaning|

New integrated campaign reframes home cleaning through reliability, care, and human connection

Media Kit

DALLAS — Molly Maid®, a Neighborly® company, is leaning into what matters most to today’s homeowners — trust — with the launch of its newest brand campaign, “A Friend Like Molly.”

Trust is the foundation of the campaign because when customers trust the people behind the clean, they get something even more valuable in return: their time back. “A Friend Like Molly” is designed to highlight that exchange, positioning Molly Maid as a reliable partner that consistently delivers a high-quality clean, enabling customers to confidently focus on what matters most.

“A clean home is expected, but how you get there is what builds loyalty,” said Michael Silva-Nash, President of Molly Maid. “This campaign is about reinforcing that Molly Maid isn’t just dependable — we’re thoughtful, we listen, and we show up the way our customers need us to, every time.”

“A Friend Like Molly” highlights the qualities that drive repeat business and long-term trust: customer connection, attentiveness to individual household needs, and a consistently reliable experience. Rather than focusing solely on outcomes, the campaign brings the full customer experience to life — from the moment the service provider team arrives to the lasting confidence customers feel after the job is done.

Drawing inspiration from the simplicity of classic sitcoms — when life felt more predictable and dependable, the campaign introduces “Molly” as that go-to friend who always has it together: thoughtful, detail-oriented, and consistently reliable. She’s the person you can count on without question, bringing a sense of ease and trust that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly familiar, with a little fun and magic along the way. The concept is rooted in a truth — that the qualities you value in the person or service who cleans your home are actually the same qualities you value in a friend.

The campaign will roll out across paid, owned, and earned channels, with social and PR extensions designed to engage audiences in more relatable and unexpected ways. By tapping into everyday moments and real customer expectations, Molly Maid aims to bring fresh energy to a service category that has traditionally focused on function over feeling.

With a network of more than 400 locally owned and operated franchises, Molly Maid continues to support strong systemwide growth. This campaign was created in partnership with Serious Work, and highlights the qualities that drive repeat business and long-term trust: customer connection, attentiveness to individual household needs, and a consistently reliable experience.

With “A Friend Like Molly,” the brand reinforces its core promise, builds brand affinity and awareness, and differentiates itself in a competitive marketplace.

Molly Maid delivers trusted, professional home cleaning services backed by its promise: A Clean You Can Count On®. To learn more about Molly Maid and its services, visit www.mollymaid.com.

The Must-Do Spring Exterior Inspection Checklist to Prevent Costly Repairs

Paul Zboichyk2026-04-10T21:42:55-04:00April 10th, 2026|Tags: home repair, Ideal Siding, Siding Renovation|

Ideal Siding Experts Share the Key Areas to Check for Damage, Moisture, and Wear as Temperatures Rise

VANCOUVER, B.C. — Winter weather can leave behind more damage than homeowners realize, from hidden moisture issues to compromised siding and drainage problems. As spring arrives and we enter Home Inspection Month, experts at Ideal Siding are encouraging homeowners to take a proactive approach with a simple exterior inspection to identify and address issues before they escalate.

“Winter puts every part of a home’s exterior to the test,” said Alex Filipuk, CEO and Founder of Ideal Siding. “Freezing temperatures, snow, and ice can create damage that isn’t always visible right away. A quick inspection in the spring can help homeowners catch problems early and avoid costly repairs down the line.”

Why Spring Is the Ideal Time to Inspect
Spring offers the first clear opportunity to assess winter damage and prepare for the months ahead. Identifying and addressing issues early can help prevent moisture intrusion, improve energy efficiency, and extend the lifespan of a home’s exterior.

As the weather warms up, homeowners should walk around their property and look for the following:

Siding Damage: Check for cracks, warping, loose panels, or signs of trapped moisture that may have developed during freeze-thaw cycles.
Gutters and Downspouts: Clear out debris and ensure water is flowing properly away from the home. Look for sagging sections or loose attachments.
Roofline and Fascia: Inspect for signs of ice dam damage, loose boards, or areas where water may have seeped in.
Foundation and Drainage: Look for cracks or pooling water near the base of the home that could lead to long-term structural issues.
Windows and Doors: Check seals and caulking for gaps or deterioration that can impact energy efficiency and allow moisture inside.
Paint and Trim Wear: Peeling, bubbling, or fading paint may signal underlying moisture problems.
Mold, Mildew, or Rot: Examine shaded or damp areas for organic growth, especially along siding and near the foundation.

“These issues may seem minor, but they’re often early indicators of larger problems,” said Filipuk. “Addressing them in the spring gives homeowners a clear path to protecting their investment before summer storms and humidity set in.”

With more than 95 locations across the U.S. and Canada, Ideal Siding has seen firsthand how seasonal maintenance can make a significant difference in long-term home performance. For more information about siding maintenance and inspections, visit www.idealsiding.com.

Senior Helpers of Burnsville & South Metro Achieves Prestigious CHAP Age-Friendly Care at Home Certification

BURNSVILLE, Minn. — Senior Helpers, the nation’s premier provider of in-home senior care services, is the first private duty in-home care provider in the United States to be Age-Friendly Care at Home certified by Community Health Accreditation Partners (CHAP). On March 17, 2026, Senior Helpers of Burnsville & South Metro joined the list of Senior Helpers CHAP Age-Friendly Care at Home Certified locations.

“Senior Helpers’ achievement as the pioneering Age-Friendly Care certified home care organization is truly remarkable. Their proactive approach in implementing numerous tools to enhance care for older adults, even before receiving the AFC certification, speaks volumes about their commitment to excellence,” said Teresa Harbour, COO of CHAP. “Their use of LIFE Profile to reduce the risk of hospitalizations, their Senior Gems program for dementia care, and their Centers for Excellence for staff training and competency set them up for success, so adding the Age-Friendly Care at Home Certification was a logical next step.”

Steve Smela, owner and President of Senior Helpers of Burnsville & South Metro stated, “It is an honor to be the first home care agency in Minnesota to attain this certification. Our decision to voluntarily pursue this certification further demonstrates our dedication to providing a higher standard of care.”

What is Age-Friendly Care at Home?

The first-of-its-kind certification was created to help meet the demand for high-quality care for older adults and showcases companies that use all-encompassing, person-centered care to address the unique needs of every individual. The focus is on the 4Ms (What Matters, Medication, Mentation, and Mobility), a research-backed and evidence-based approach to care. To receive the CHAP certification, Senior Helpers of Burnsville & South Metro worked to ensure that the 4Ms Framework is an integral part of operations and daily interactions with clients.

What Matters puts clients at the center of care and empowers them to be involved in goal setting and preferences for their care.
Medication should be used in an age-friendly way that does not interfere with What Matters to the client.
Mentation focuses on preventing, identifying, treating, and managing depression and dementia.
Mobility ensures older adults move safely and maintain function so they can do What Matters to them.

CHAP provides training, certification, and accreditation for senior care providers, ensuring quality and compliance with the highest standards of care using the 4M Framework and other guidelines.
Senior Helpers Elevates Care Standards for Seniors

In addition to the CHAP certification, Senior Helpers of Burnsville & South Metro elevates its care for clients through three key programs: the proprietary LIFE Profile assessment tool, the Senior Gems® program, and the Center of Excellence training spaces.

LIFE Profile is a research-based technology tool that uses data to identify a client’s risk of being hospitalized.

The Senior Gems® program provides effective strategies for supporting and caring for loved ones from normal aging through late stage dementia, focusing on what is precious and unique about each senior at each stage.

The Senior Helpers Center of Excellence is a training space designed to simulate a client’s home, allowing caregivers to learn and train in a real-world environment and demonstrate their ability to provide the highest quality of care in a client’s home.

Senior Helpers of Burnsville & South Metro provides in-home care for seniors to help them age in place and live quality lives. They provide personalized care, including chronic disease care, Alzheimer’s, dementia and Parkinson’s care, transportation, end-of-life care, and more.

Home services franchise targets renewed territory growth across North Texas after high-performing prior campaign and strong media momentum

DALLAS-FORT WORTH, Texas — Bumble Roofing, a fast-growing roofing repair and installation company founded in client service and technology, announced a renewed focus on the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex as a priority target market for franchise development. Building off the strong momentum in the region, the brand is preparing to accelerate territory growth across North Texas.

Bumble Roofing previously entered the Dallas market and saw measurable success, including 4 new territories awarded, and is now leveraging that momentum to expand its footprint in one of the nation’s fastest-growing metro areas. Continued residential growth, expanding suburbs and recurring severe weather such as hail and high winds are driving steady demand for roof repair and replacement services, positioning the region as a strong opportunity for franchise ownership and long-term growth.

“Our experience in Dallas confirmed what we believed about the strength of this market,” said David Bitan, founder and brand president of Bumble Roofing. “We saw strong community engagement, meaningful media traction and real interest from entrepreneurs looking for a scalable home services business. We are excited to build on that momentum and continue growing across North Texas.”

Bumble Roofing differentiates itself through proprietary roof scanning and visualization technology that delivers accurate estimates and a digital project tracking system that keeps homeowners informed throughout the process. The company emphasizes transparent pricing and a no-pressure sales approach, even following major storm events.

The renewed North Texas initiative is expected to support local job creation and generate significant regional economic impact, with projections of 20+ new jobs created and approximately $20+ million in annual economic activity as territories open and mature.

Bumble Roofing is seeking qualified franchise candidates throughout Dallas, Fort Worth and surrounding communities. The total investment ranges from $164,000 to $261,000, including the initial franchise fee. Veterans and first responders are eligible for a discount.

Grasons Encourages Families to Choose Reuse Over Waste This Earth Month

Paul Zboichyk2026-04-08T03:34:08-04:00April 8th, 2026|Tags: Business Liquidation, Estate Sales, Grasons|

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — With Earth Day approaching, Grasons is encouraging families to rethink what happens to a lifetime of belongings during downsizing and estate transitions. While recycling and composting often take center stage in sustainability conversations, household reuse is one of the most impactful — and often overlooked — ways to reduce landfill waste.

From solid wood furniture to kitchenware and collectibles, many items cleared from homes still have value and usability. Yet without a structured resale or donation plan, those belongings can end up discarded unnecessarily.

“Estate sales are inherently rooted in reuse,” said Brandon Ciaccio, Grasons Brand President. “When families are navigating significant life transitions, their focus is often on logistics and timelines. What sometimes gets overlooked is that resale and redistribution keep usable items in circulation and out of landfills. That’s a meaningful environmental impact.”

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Americans generate more than 290 million tons of municipal solid waste annually, with furniture and durable household goods contributing significantly to landfill volume. Choosing resale and donation options can extend the life cycle of these items and reduce environmental strain.

Grasons encourages families to incorporate sustainability into their spring transitions by taking several practical steps:

• Prioritize resale before disposal. Furniture, décor, tools and collectibles often retain value and can serve another household.
• Separate donation-ready items early. Identifying nonprofit partners in advance reduces last-minute disposal decisions.
• Avoid bulk disposal when possible. Sorting and staging belongings intentionally can prevent unnecessary waste.
• Think beyond convenience. Fast removal may feel efficient, but thoughtful redistribution creates longer-term environmental benefit.
• Reframe letting go. Knowing belongings will continue to serve a purpose can make the transition easier emotionally and environmentally.

Spring cleaning and downsizing frequently coincide with retirement, relocation or managing a loved one’s estate. By incorporating sustainability into the process, families can reduce waste while honoring the value of the items accumulated over time.

Founded in 2013, Grasons, a member of Evive Brands, is a national estate sale and business liquidation franchise specializing in professional estate sale management, online sales, and comprehensive transition services. With franchise locations across the country, Grasons supports families, executors and businesses through organized, efficient and compassionate sale processes.

As Earth Month highlights environmental responsibility nationwide, Grasons encourages families to consider reuse as an essential part of responsible home transitions.

Metal Supermarkets Doubles Scholarship Funding to $20,000 for 5th Annual Trade School Scholarship

Paul Zboichyk2026-04-08T03:29:30-04:00April 8th, 2026|Tags: Brick-and-Mortar Store, Metal Supermarkets, Small-quantity metal supplier|

With demand for skilled tradespeople rising across North America, premier metal supplier is awarding 8 scholarships to support and empower the next generation of trades professionals

TORONTO – Today, Metal Supermarkets has announced the start of its fifth-annual Trade School Scholarship program, which will award eight $2,500 scholarships to trade school students across the United States and Canada. This year, the world’s largest supplier of small-quantity metals has doubled its scholarship funding from $10,000 to $20,000, expanding financial support to four additional students pursuing valuable careers in the skilled trades.

This expanded investment comes at a critical time for the skilled trades, which is facing a workforce shortage and skills gap in welding talent. As an example, the United States is projected to need 320,500 new welding professionals by 2029, underscoring the growing urgency to strengthen the trades workforce and prepare more young people to enter the industry. Similarly, in Canada, over 256,000 skilled tradespeople are needed over the next decade to meet demand. Additionally, a survey commissioned by Metal Supermarkets found that many young people are lacking knowledge of the skilled trades, with over 62% of respondents indicating they didn’t learn about trade school opportunities in high school.

To address the critical shortage of skilled trade workers and to raise awareness of the vital trades industry, Metal Supermarkets established the Trade School Scholarship in 2022, which launches in April of each year to commemorate National Welding Month.

“Metal Supermarkets is proud to invest in the future generation of skilled tradespeople and remains committed to supporting the education of aspiring trades professionals,” said Ryan Pryznyk, President and CEO of Metal Supermarkets. “This year, we are thrilled to double our scholarship total to $20,000, which will further help address the urgent need for skilled tradespeople across the US and Canada.”

Since its inception, the Metal Supermarkets Trade School Scholarship program has awarded a total of $40,000 in scholarships to 16 recipients, providing meaningful financial support to a diverse group of students, supporting their educations and helping jumpstart their careers. Notably, 50% of these winners have been female – a significant number in a traditionally male-dominated industry where women are substantially underrepresented.

“The Trade School Scholarship has allowed me to pursue a meaningful education in welding and perfect my craft,” said Kristina Glasow, a 2025 scholarship recipient who attends WyoTech in Laramie, Wyoming. “This scholarship has not only helped me financially, but it’s also helped me gain invaluable hands-on training and experience that will help prepare me for a successful career in welding.”

To qualify for the scholarship, students must be accepted to and currently attending a post-secondary trade school program with a semester beginning in 2026. They must also be enrolled in the upcoming semester. The scholarship is open to citizens, permanent residents and resident aliens legally residing in the United States or Canada with a High School Diploma, GED or equivalent.

Scholarship applications can be submitted online from now through June 30^th, 2026. Metal Supermarkets will contact each winner by email and phone by July 31^st, 2026. To learn more about the Metal Supermarkets Trade School Scholarship or to apply, visit www.metalsupermarkets.com/trade-school-scholarship/.

Premium activewear brand teams up with BODYBAR to elevate the new-member experience and drive membership across all studios nationwide

FORT WORTH, Texas — BODYBAR Pilates, a leading modern Pilates franchise, is teaming up with TAVI, the popular studio activewear and legacy grip-sock brand, to bring an elevated welcome experience to new members this April.

From April 1-30, guests who join BODYBAR Pilates with a new Cheers or Speakeasy Membership will receive a free pair of limited‑edition TAVI grip socks, available exclusively through this partnership. Each studio will gift these premium socks to the first 20 qualifying new members, while supplies last.

“TAVI is a brand our members already know and love, and we’re excited to welcome new members with something that is both premium and essential for their workout,” said Vice President of Marketing at BODYBAR Pilates, Brittany Granby. “It’s a fun, functional way to kick off someone’s BODYBAR journey.”

Designed for Pilates in mind, TAVI socks are known for their comfort, quality and signature grippy sole, making them a perfect companion for the high‑energy, Reformer‑based classes offered at BODYBAR Pilates studios.

“We’re thrilled to partner with BODYBAR and help new members start strong with a studio essential,” said Sarah Chambers, TAVI CEO. “Our grip socks are all about supporting movement and confidence, and that aligns perfectly with the BODYBAR experience.”

New members can claim their exclusive pair simply by joining a participating BODYBAR studio with a qualifying Cheers or Speakeasy membership this April.

BODYBAR Pilates and TAVI will continue to expand their partnership later this year with the release of a limited-edition co-branded apparel line. Designed to reflect the elevated, performance-driven experience shared by both brands, the upcoming collection will offer members and studios an exclusive opportunity to extend the BODYBAR lifestyle beyond the Reformer.
