These individuals are nominated by their parent company and selected for their service to their communities, opening the doors for career growth and entrepreneurship, fostering a strong and vibrant workforce and supporting their fellow franchisees.

“We are thrilled to have Brent represent HomeFront Brands and our property service brands, Window Hero and Top Rail Fence,” said HomeFront Brands Chairman and CEO Jeff Dudan. “Not only is Brent a great ambassador for the HomeFront Brands family, but he also represents the best in franchising. His dedication and hard work exemplify the power of franchising and its positive contributions to the business world and to the main street communities we serve.”

According to the IFA, there are more than 800,000 franchised businesses in the United States, providing about 8.4 million direct jobs and generating more than $800 billion in economic output.

Local owners Lilliana Aranda and Chad Taylor will introduce their new business to the community with two local events at a bowling alley and a home show in late February

FRISCO, Texas — Window Hero, a HomeFront Brands franchise specializing in a wide range of exterior cleaning services, announced today it will celebrate the opening of its Frisco, Texas, location with a ceremony at Strikz Entertainment Bowling Alley at 9:30 a.m. on Feb. 22 and an appearance at the Home & Garden Show of Collin County Feb. 23-25 at the Credit Union of Texas Event Center.

Local owners Lilliana Aranda and her business partner and fiancé, Chad Taylor, along with the Frisco Chamber of Commerce will meet with locals for a ribbon cutting at the bowling alley located at 8789 Lebanon Road, Frisco. Aranda and Taylor will also host a booth at Collin County’s home show, where visitors have a chance to win a Yeti cooler and $50 off any of their services to use in March. They will be at Booth T13.

“Owning an exterior cleaning company provides us with the prospect of offering revitalization services to residential and commercial buildings throughout the Frisco and north Texas areas,” Aranda said. “It’s exciting to be able to wash away dirty buildup so that our clients are provided with a fresh perspective. Clean windows not only make a home more attractive, they also increase its resale value. Regular window cleaning prevents damage to panes, sills and frames.”

Aranda understands the benefit of keeping the exterior of a home tidy. She serves as the health, safety and environmental manager for Got Safety LLC, where she is in charge of the company’s occupational health and safety and OSHA compliance standards.

“This position has given me the ability to cultivate safe environments within organizations and ensure the well-being of employees,” Aranda said. “This has given me the keen eye for detail and an ease with the fieldwork I’ll need to run our Window Hero location.”

Aranda and Taylor are both from Hobbs, New Mexico, a small town “where everybody knows everyone else,” she said. The couple came to Texas a little more than eight years ago. During that time, Aranda has pursued her education in health and safety by receiving a certification from the University of Texas at Arlington. She said she is still struck by the beauty of the Frisco area.

“I’m so excited to be a part of the unfolding Frisco narrative and I am enamored with the area,” Aranda said. “Frisco’s vibrant atmosphere, exceptional educational institutions, diverse community and consistent growth make it a wonderful place to live and raise a family.”

As a former U.S. Army soldier, Taylor is committed to the service of others and enjoys working outdoors. For the past 20 years, he has worked for an oil well service company as the vice president of sales and in operations management.

Taylor has owned other businesses in the past, including a real estate agency, a property management company, an escrow company and a property investment business.

“My duties in the property investment industry encompassed readying buildings for sale,” Taylor said. “That included power washing the exterior and improving the interior with paint and light remodeling. You have to have a great curb appeal if you want to stand out in the market. I understand how important a clean building is in improving the look and feel of a building.”

In addition to working together to build their exterior cleaning service, Aranda and Taylor also have three sons.

“Chad and I are dedicated to adding to the beauty of this area,” Aranda said. “We want our Window Hero location to enhance the vibrancy of the Frisco area. We can tell Frisco is growing area but still has the same values and kind-hearted people that smaller towns have. We’re excited about starting our business here.”

Window Hero specializes in a wide range of exterior cleaning services, including window cleaning, gutter care, pressure washing and solar panel cleaning. The company offers both routine maintenance and one-time deep cleaning solutions.

Window Hero Frisco services several areas in the Midlands, including Frisco, Hackberry, Hebron and The Colony. For more information about Window Hero Frisco, please visit https://windowhero.com/locations/frisco/.

Temporary Wall Systems announces the opening of three new Detroit area locations at regional construction convention

Paul Zboichyk2024-02-12T17:52:04-05:00February 8th, 2024|Tags: Building Trades, HomeFront Brands, Property Service, Rentable Containment Walls, Temporary Wall Systems|

The owners of Temporary Wall Systems Ann Arbor, Farmington Hills and Sterling Heights will showcase their modular walls at the Great Lakes Design & Construction Expo

DETROIT — Temporary Wall Systems (TWS), the first and leading full-service, temporary containment wall provider in the United States, will celebrate the opening of three new greater Detroit area locations with a booth at the Great Lakes Design & Construction Expo on Feb. 14 at the Suburban Collection Showplace in Novi, Michigan.

Temporary Wall Systems Ann Arbor and Sterling Heights, owned by the husband-and-wife team, Scott and Nadine Harrison, and Temporary Wall Systems Farmington Hills, owned by Lee Ritter, are joining forces to showcase their temporary containment walls to Southeast Michigan construction contractors, builders and remodelers at Booth No. 419. They will be giving away a Yeti 45 Hard Cooler at the event.

“We have lived in a variety of locations around the U.S., and there is no other place that we wanted to start our business together than right here in Metro Detroit, which is where I was born and raised,” said Scott Harrison. “Nadine and I have been married for 30 years and have raised two children. Now, we want to extend our partnership to include the ownership of Temporary Wall Systems Ann Arbor and Sterling Heights. We want to build a legacy together.”

Harrison’s professional background in film production, marketing and advertising works seamlessly with Nadine Harrison’s background in sales, customer service and event planning. The couple wants to combine their skills to offer local builders a sustainable and durable, yet temporary containment option that protect people and property from construction.

“I’ve worked in several exciting industries, from riverboats to planning private events,” Nadine Harrison said. “But starting this venture with Scott is my most exhilarating experience to date. We’re thrilled to connect with our extensive local contacts to bring this modern product to market and position our businesses for success.”

Ritter, who boasts 12 years of service in the Air National Guard, is passionate about Michigan’s natural beauty.

“The modular walls that Temporary Wall Systems provides align with my love for the great outdoors because they limit the amount of construction waste that enters local landfills,” he said. “There’s no reason to build temporary walls out of permanent material that must be torn down and thrown away. TWS’s rental-ready solutions solve that crucial problem.”

Ritter has a bachelor’s degree in aviation flight technology and has a background in business ownership and financial management.

The Great Lakes Design & Construction Expo is hosted by the Construction Association of Michigan and the Home Builders Association of Southeastern Michigan. The one-day event brings together residential and commercial contractors, home builders, suppliers and service providers to exchange ideas on the solutions and tools to improve the industry’s success and growth.

TWS is part of HomeFront Brands, a family of emerging, franchised residential and commercial property service brands that offers integrated technology, data support, lead generation, business intelligence systems and training to its partners.

Top Rail Fence brings new location to North Indianapolis

Paul Zboichyk2024-02-12T17:42:07-05:00February 1st, 2024|Tags: Fence Services, HomeFront Brands, Property Service, Top Rail Fence|

Owner Andy Deck hopes his fencing company’s reliable service will build a solid referral business and will work to better the community

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — Top Rail Fence, the on-time professionals in fence design, quality, installation and service, will celebrate its move into Indiana with a grand opening event at the Adoption Agency of Indiana on Feb. 6 at 4 p.m.

The Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce will be on hand and Top Rail Fence North Indianapolis owner Andy Deck will donate $1,000 to the adoption agency. Deck and his wife are the parents of two adopted daughters.

“I know these agencies struggle for money to help birth mothers through the process and find parents who want to adopt,” he said. “It’s something close to our heart as a family. Our daughters are a blessing, and this is an option more people should look into.”

Deck says he also hopes his Top Rail Fence location will become a force for good in his community.

“I have lived in this area all my life, and I want to make sure we are a trustworthy fencing company that does great work and provides reliable service,” Deck said. “I am excited about the opportunity to start something new here and build my Top Rail Fence location into a business that is known for giving its clients an outstanding customer experience.”

Deck already serves his community as a firefighter with the Indianapolis Fire Department, where he has worked for more than 20 years. But Deck is no stranger to entrepreneurship, either. He co-owned an Alloy Wheel Repair franchise in Indianapolis from 2009-2016.

“Having previously owned my own company, I understand the commitment necessary to make a business successful,” he said. “It’s not something you can take lightly. It requires hard work and determination. I know the friendly people here in the Indianapolis area will welcome this new endeavor and applaud our reliability.”

Deck also worked in sales prior to joining the fire department, and he expects this experience to help him at his Top Rail Fence venture.

“When you work in sales, you end up working with a lot of different types of people,” he said. “This should help me as I build my Top Rail Fence location. I can’t wait to begin working with clients and subcontractors to become a fencing company people will appreciate and refer to their friends, business associates and neighbors.”

Deck is a graduate of Indiana University. He and his wife, Chanda, have two girls, ages 17 and 11.

North Carolinians AJ Bodick and Garrett Chisum also win the CARES Award at the 2023 HomeFront Brands convention

STATESVILLE, N.C. — Window Hero Lake Norman owners AJ Bodick and Garrett Chisum were presented with both the Franchisee of the Year and the CARES awards at HomeFront Brands’ inaugural franchisee convention for their hard work and dedication to their franchise brand.

As the Window Hero Franchisees of the Year, Bodick and Chisum were honored for their commitment to building their business and their positive impact on the franchise and the community. They received trophies and a $1,500 voucher for digital marketing services.

The two also won the CARES Award, named for HomeFront Brands’ core values of community, accountability, respect, excellence and service. This award is given to a HomeFront Brands’ franchisee that has captured the admiration of their peers and is determined by a vote of the franchisee community.

“AJ Bodick and Garrett Chisum are devoted to serving their community and their unwavering ability to strive toward excellence every day,” said HomeFront Brands Chairman and CEO Jeff Dudan. “Since our founding in 2022, HomeFront Brands has had remarkable growth, and one of the factors contributing to our success is AJ and Garrett’s exceptional dedication to our franchise family’s core values.”

HomeFront Brands presented a CARES Award and a Franchisee of the Year Award to a franchise owner from four of its most prolific brands, including Window Hero, Top Rail Fence, The Designery and Temporary Wall Systems.

“What an honor it is to win the first Franchisee of the Year Award for our Window Hero location,” Bodick said. “We have worked extremely hard to make our location successful and to provide our clients with the most professional exterior cleaning experience possible. It’s a treat to be recognized for this hard work.”

Chisum agreed and added that the team is also happy to have received the CARES Award.

“It’s extremely humbling to be chosen for the CARES Award by our peers,” he said. “It is always our goal to offer exceptional customer service and community support as a part of what we do daily. This award is a testament to our team’s dedication.”

Bodick and Chisum have been friends for 18 years and are passionate about the region they grew up in. Bodick and his wife Jessie and their two children, Xander and Ivy, enjoy organized outdoor games like tee ball or soccer while Chisum and his wife Emma and daughter, Alice, are more up for hanging out with friends.

Bodick has owned and operated Window Hero Lake Norman since 2017. Chisum signed on in 2022 when the location became a part of the HomeFront Brands franchise family.

Local owner Nate Van Valkenburg takes home the prize for both his Window Hero Charleston and The Designery Charleston locations

CHARLESTON, S.C. — HomeFront Brands, the parent company of both Window Hero Charleston and The Designery Charleston, has awarded local owner Nate Van Valkenburg as the Top Producer of the Year for both his South Carolina ventures.

The awards were presented to Van Valkenburg earlier this month at HomeFront Brands’ Homecoming Convention at the company’s headquarters near Charlotte, North Carolina. The conference brought together franchisees, corporate employees and vendor partners to celebrate HomeFront Brands’ impressive growth since its inception in late 2022. HomeFront Brands is a property service franchise platform with six emerging concepts in its portfolio, including Window Hero and The Designery.

“It’s exciting when an entrepreneur wins an award in the same category for two locations, and Nate was able to accomplish that,” said HomeFront Brands Chairman and CEO Jeff Dudan. “The success of our Homecoming Convention showcased the tremendous growth HomeFront Brands has undergone during our first year. Nate Van Valkenburg is a sales champion who has set a standard of achievement that has helped HomeFront Brands excel in our expansion efforts.”

The Top Producer of the Year is bestowed upon the franchisee that has soared to the highest echelons of sales excellence, showcasing an unwavering dedication to success and an unmatched ability to drive revenue. HomeFront Brands presented Top Producer awards to a franchise owner for each of the four franchises featured at the convention.

“It’s a great honor to receive this award for both my Charleston ventures,” Van Valkenburg said. “We would not have won these awards without all the great people who make Window Hero and The Designery prosperous. From the support we’ve received at HomeFront Brands to our local staff and the clients we serve, the road to our success has been paved with support.”

Van Valkenburg attended the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and worked in the exterior cleaning business for several years before starting his own business. He and his wife, Ali, live in Charleston with their daughter.
