Local owner Sam Adler was honored with the award for his outstanding character and dedication to HomeFront Brands’ superior service

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — Temporary Wall Systems South Jersey owner Sam Adler was presented with the HomeFront Brands’ prestigious CARES Award for his dedication to the principles of the franchising company’s values.

HomeFront Brands, the property service franchise platform with six emerging concepts in its portfolio, hosted its inaugural convention in Charlotte, North Carolina last month. The company presented this prestigious award to outstanding franchise owners from four of its core brands: Temporary Wall Systems, Top Rail Fence, The Designery and Window Hero.

The CARES Award is named for the company’s core values of community, accountability, respect, excellence and service and is determined by a vote of the franchisee community at the event.

“Sam Adler’s commitment to the South Jersey community and to HomeFront Brands’ value system is more than exceptional,” said HomeFront Brands Chairman and CEO Jeff Dudan. “HomeFront Brands has seen tremendous growth over the last year and Sam’s hard work and unwavering dedication has been a contributing factor in that success. This award is a testament to his outstanding character and willingness to go that extra mile.”

Adler’s TWS location opened in September after he saw a need in the South Jersey area for a containment management system that reduced landfill waste and controlled construction debris in an aesthetically pleasing manner. He said that these reusable walls also meet the Infection Control Risk Assessment Class V (ICRA V) Best Practices in Health Care Construction, so they are ideal to use in hospitals and other healthcare facilities.

“Winning an award is already a wonderful experience, but to be honored because you were recognized by your peers is an incredibly humbling experience,” Adler said. “I saw a need in my community for a reusable and temporary wall system and set out to provide that service. I’m grateful that my vision has been noticed by others in my franchising family.”

Before opening his TWS location, Adler worked in executive leadership positions for the majority of his entire professional life. His entrepreneurial spirit is matched by his sense of community. He hopes Temporary Wall Systems South Jersey will continue to work as a vehicle for community empowerment by providing employment opportunities and contributing to local causes.

RALEIGH, N.C. — The Designery North Raleigh’s owners Dana and Anne-Louise Merrill were presented with the prestigious CARES Award at HomeFront Brands’ inaugural franchisee convention earlier this month for the couple’s commitment to the franchisor’s values.

The CARES Award, named for the company’s core values of community, accountability, respect, excellence and service, is given to a HomeFront Brand’s franchisee that has captured the admiration of the company’s other franchisees. The award winner is determined by a vote of the franchisee community at the company’s Homecoming Convention held at its headquarters in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Window Hero cleans up East Tennessee with its West Knoxville location

Owner Ben Brown gives back to his community by providing free exterior cleaning services to area schools

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — When Ben Brown decided to open his West Knoxville location of Window Hero, a HomeFront Brands franchise specializing in a wide range of exterior cleaning services, his goal to give back to the community was as strong as his desire to own his own business.

In the eight months that Window Hero West Knoxville has been in operation, Brown has been able to make a splash in the community by cleaning the exteriors of five schools in the community with the goal of revitalizing and enhancing the appearance of these schools’ campuses.

A.L. Lotts Elementary School, Cedar Bluff Elementary School, Farragut Primary School, Hardin Valley Elementary School, and Rocky Hill Elementary School all received a full-service cleaning that included pressure washing sidewalks, cleaning windows, and soft washing a specific area of the building. Window Hero West Knoxville also pressure washed the schools’ signs to make them look like new.

The company also cleaned the sidewalks and entryways at Northshore Elementary School, which welcomed Brown as its “Principal for a Day” on Nov. 16. Principal for a Day is a half-day experience that connects business leaders with Knox County Schools’ principals to open the lines of communication between public education and the community.

“Opening a Window Hero complemented my personal goals of giving back to the community that means so much to me,” Brown said. “I always wanted to find ways to impact my community while also building a reputation as a trusted property service provider. My involvement with Window Hero has allowed me to do that.”

Brown said that Window Hero’s founder, Tyler Kirk, and Jeff Dudan, chairman and CEO of Window Hero’s parent company, HomeFront Brands, have provided a strong franchise culture that not only promotes success but also encourages community involvement.

And for Brown, who spent most of his career in software sales and business development, making the change to entrepreneurship was a daunting task made easier by the HomeFront Brands team.

“The HomeFront Brands crew provides franchisees like me the guidance and time needed to be successful,” he said. “The reason why so many mom-and-pop businesses fail is that they don’t understand how to scale their growth. HomeFront Brands and the Window Hero team provide me with the support I need to take this business to the next level.”

Brown received a bachelor’s degree from Middle Tennessee State University and has worked in sales for such companies as Vendisys, Inc., Twenty20 Solutions and DigiCert, Inc.

His service-oriented approach has long been a part of his personality. He and his wife, Brittany, have always been active in their community and are the engaged parents of Cooper, Hutch and Caroline.

Brown coaches several of his son’s sports teams and is active in their church. The family enjoys being outside, playing sports, hiking and biking.

“I feel very privileged to be recognized as both the Top Producer of the Year and the Franchisee of the Year for the TWS brand,” Williamson said. “I’m profoundly proud of my team’s work in the North Georgia area and being acknowledged for our efforts is truly a humbling experience. When we opened, we simply wanted to offer a solid, reusable product and provide quality service. Winning awards for achieving what we set out to do is genuinely fulfilling.”

Williamson opened his North Georgia location earlier in 2023 after having worked in sales for most of his career. He also owns a Temporary Wall Systems franchise in the Nashville area and has a family-owned holding company comprised of several businesses and investments spanning across multiple industries. He is a graduate of the University of Georgia’s Terry College of Business.

Franchisees, Support Center Leadership and Vendors from Multi-Brand Franchise Platform Gather in Charlotte to Honor Key Accomplishments and Brand Growth

HUNTERSVILLE, N.C. — HomeFront Brands, the property service franchise platform with six emerging concepts in its portfolio, hosted its first-annual companywide convention in early-November. Taking place in the company’s home Charlotte market, it brought together the family of brands, including its franchisees, corporate employees and vendor partners, to celebrate impressive growth since the inception of HomeFront Brands in late-2022.

Themed “Homecoming”, the HomeFront Brands inaugural convention welcomed its more than 100 franchisees from across the country, representing all five concepts from its portfolio. The convention featured four notable keynote speakers, including Brigadier General Anthony J. Tata, who delivered an inspiring discussion on team leadership. General Tata’s impressive background includes his role as Undersecretary of Defense for Policy and commanding Army operations in Afghanistan, Bosnia, Croatia, North Macedonia, Kosovo, Panama and Haiti.

During “Homecoming,” HomeFront Brands recognized the hard-working individuals behind each brand and the corporate team. Throughout the convention, there were twenty-three different awards given out to deserving individuals across the family of brands. Notably, the company recognized its first-ever overall HomeFront Brands Franchisee of the Year. Brent Chapman, franchisee of Window Hero and Top Rail Fence in the Triad region of North Carolina, earned this honor. The full list of award winners is noted below.

Additionally, the brand revealed its new tagline at the conference, “The family of brands that C.A.R.E.S.” This highlights the company’s five core values: community, accountability, respect, excellence and service.

“Being able to come together as a true family of brands for the first time ever is a remarkable reminder of how far HomeFront Brands has come since our founding,” said Jeff Dudan, Chairman and CEO of HomeFront Brands. “This year has been one of incredible expansion, both for the company as a whole and our concepts. We’re feeling energized going into 2024 knowing that we will continue to see exponential growth across all brands.”

While in Charlotte, everyone in attendance had the opportunity to partake in a charitable giveback event in partnership with Operation Homefront, one of two charitable organizations that HomeFront Brands announced as partners during the convention, the other being The Carson Scholars. To further build-upon the company’s commitment to these organizations, during the convention the group built bikes to donate to Operation Homefront, and donated $20,000 to both charities. The convention also provided opportunities for connection between brands and franchisees, as well as professional growth. Franchisees were able to partake in multiple breakout sessions of varying topics, such as sales, marketing, hiring and utilizing vendors.

I, as well as the rest of my team, am looking forward to the meaningful impact we can make now and into the future in tandem with Operation Homefront and The Carson Scholars Foundation.”

Since 2002, Operation Homefront has been proudly serving America’s military families. The nonprofit organization provides relief and recurring family support programs and services throughout the year to help military families overcome short-term difficulties so that they don’t become long-term hardships. Prior to the partnership announcement, HomeFront Brands made an initial donation of $20,000 to the organization, and in addition, has set a goal to raise more than $50,000 in 2024 for its military families. Additional commitments of the partnership include helping to provide transitional homes for veterans, awarding recipients of the nonprofit’s Military Child of the Year with laptops to support their educational endeavors, participating in the organization’s 11 days of impact for Veterans Day and more. HomeFront Brands is recognized as a one star partner of Operation Homefront.

The Carson Scholars Foundation is a nonprofit organization that seeks to combat the American education crisis by rewarding excellence in the nation’s youth through its Scholarship programs and by developing reading rooms in libraries and schools across the country through The Ben Carson Reading Project initiative. Through an initial donation of $20,000, HomeFront Brands will be donating a state-of-the-art reading room to a deserving school in the Charlotte, North Carolina area, reaffirming its commitment to promoting literacy and education within its local community. The donation will mark the beginning of a nationwide expansion effort, where HomeFront Brands aims to replicate the reading room donation in schools across the country.

“Leading by example has always been a fundamental principle at HomeFront Brands,” continued Dudan. “Embarking on these transformative partnerships will serve as a guiding light, not just for our dedicated franchisees, but for everyone affiliated with HomeFront Brands. We’re thrilled to be launching both partnerships with our initial donations, which serve as a catalyst to propel our collective efforts into action.”

Local owners Bob and Stacey Stewart plan to use their expertise in building trades and customer service to create a positive customer experience

RICHMOND, Va. — Top Rail Fence, the on-time professionals in fence design, quality, installation and service, announced today that has expanded its reach in Virginia with a new location in Richmond. The venture is owned by building industry expert Robert “Bob” Stewart and his wife, Stacey.

“I have a passion for the building and fencing industries,” Bob Stewart said. “Forbes recently included Richmond, Virginia, as one of the best cities for start-ups and entrepreneurs, and it’s a city that continues to show growth. With this headwind, we have the potential to build our Top Rail Fence location into a formidable business.”

Stewart worked as an investment banker for 18 years before entering the building trades, where he has remained for the past 13 years. Stacey Stewart, however, honed her customer service skills in retail before jumping into the fencing industry. She has been the manager of a Kohl’s Department Store in Richmond for 20 years and trained in business administration and management at George Mason University.

“We want to provide a great service and product to our community,” Stacey Stewart said. “We want to build a brand that the community will come to know and trust. You do that by creating a great and lasting customer experience. My customer service background is crucial in developing that experience.”

Bob Stewart is originally from Rochester, New York, and Stacey Stewart traveled extensively with her military family during her childhood. The pair moved to Richmond 35 years ago after they married. The couple has two daughters, Alexandra and Lauren.

Top Rail Fence Richmond serves Ashland, Bon Air, Chester, Chesterfield, Goochland, Henrico, Hopewell, Mechanicsville, Midlothian, Moseley, New Kent, Powhatan, Prince George, Richmond, West Point and Williamsburg, Virginia.

Top Rail Fence is a part of HomeFront Brands, a family of emerging, franchised residential and commercial property service brands that includes Top Rail Fence, Temporary Wall Systems, BiltRite Home Inspections, The Designery, Window Hero Exterior Cleaning Services and Mozzie Dome. Top Rail Fence provides residential, commercial and agricultural fencing in a variety of styles and materials.
