Window Hero opens second Texas branch with a new location in Belton

2023-09-26T09:58:20-04:00September 26th, 2023|Tags: , , , |

Veteran brings a wide variety of home maintenance, cleaning, and repair services, offers career opportunities for local veterans. 

BELTON, Texas — Window Hero, a HomeFront Brands franchise specializing in a wide range of exterior cleaning services, announces the opening of its second location in Texas. The newest branch, located in TempleBelton, is owned by Mike Murphy and offers window cleaning, gutter care, pressure washing and more.

A graduate from Southern Nazarene University in Bethany, OK, Murphy has lived in Belton for the past 17 years with his wife, Katie Murphy, and their daughter. He learned about Window Hero while attending a franchise event in Dallas.

“This is an underserved market. My personal experience with window cleaning businesses has been poor, and I want to change that for others in the area,” Murphy said. “My overall vision is to create a business that is in high demand and serves as the premier team of experts.”

Having served over 12 years in the military, Murphy wants to implement a mentorship program for veterans transitioning out of the Army.

Belton is highly populated with active-duty service members and veterans, and I want to create more possibilities for locals looking for a career change into the civilian world,” Murphy said. “I understand the challenges that come with that transition, and I’m thankful to be in a place where I can help others navigate those challenges.”

Following his military service, Murphy went on to run his own financial advisory office and insurance firm before transitioning into the operational department for a franchise.

“From my military service to experience as a financial advisor, I believe leadership is the number one skill that will translate into being a successful business owner,” Murphy said.

Building a business that he and his family can call their own is a priority for Murphy. The work-life balance of franchising and the vision to create a business in high demand played a major role in his decision to open a Window Hero location.

“I want to start something that my family can call their own,” Murphy said. “I want to empower our young daughter to reach her goals, and I want to set an example for her.”

The ribbon cutting for the new location will take place on Oct. 12 from 4:30 to 6 p.m. at the Belton Area Chamber of Commerce. Food will be catered by Miller’s Smokehouse and giveaways will be available at the event.

Temporary Wall Systems opens its first Colorado location in South Denver

2023-09-26T09:46:41-04:00September 26th, 2023|Tags: , , , |

New location will make reusable wall systems widely available for renovation and construction, supporting the forward-thinking city’s commitment to reducing waste. 

DENVER — Temporary Wall Systems (TWS), the first and leading full-service, temporary containment wall provider in the United States, will highlight its grand opening with a booth at the International Facility Management Association’s World Workplace Expo on Sept. 27 – 29 at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver, Colorado.

The new business is owned by Mike Guy, and he will be available at booth 488 along with one of the reusable walls on display for attendees to view.

Guy, who has worked as an IT consultant, owns and rents several properties throughout Denver, and he’s familiar with the renovation process. He’s ready to show eco-conscious Denverites how TWS will allow them complete renovations without having to waste building supplies traditionally used for temporary containment.

“Owning and operating Colorado’s first Temporary Wall Systems in an environmentally conscious city like Denver is a great opportunity for me to support its sustainability initiatives,” Guy said. “I’m proud to be part of the solution. I want to help business owners and contractors make a positive change by giving them new options for reducing construction waste.”

In November, Denver voters approved an ordinance that would require that most construction and demolition waste be recycled and that a recycling and reuse plan be submitted to the city prior to obtaining a construction or demolition permit. The Waste No More Implementation Task Force is in the process of finalizing its recommendations to implement the new ordinance.

“When the new ordinance begins, we want Denver to know we’re here to help,” Guy said.

Guy has been part of the Denver community for more than 25 years. In addition to his work as an IT consultant, he has a real estate license and has bought and sold residential properties in the area for several years. He and his wife, Heather, have two children, and the family enjoys outdoor activities.

“There are 10 Fortune 500 companies headquartered in the Denver area, and it has the third busiest airport in the country,” Guy said. “There is a lot of growth in the community, and with that growth comes the necessity to renovate and improve some of the area’s older commercial buildings. We can help businesses grow with cleaner, faster temporary containment barriers. They’re so effective, they can even be used in occupied spaces so businesses can remain open during renovation.”

TWS South Denver provides modular wall systems that are designed with versatility in mind. Its full-service business model simplifies construction and renovation by taking care of the entire containment process, from job site delivery to expert installation and removal when the project is complete. The South Denver location will serve DenverAuroraParkerEnglewoodCastle RockMorrison and Littleton, Colorado.

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.

Temporary Wall Systems Opening New Locations in Kansas and Missouri

2023-09-15T10:00:00-04:00September 15th, 2023|Tags: , , , |

Local owners in Kansas City, Missouri and Kansas City, Kansas team up to provide the temporary, rentable containment walls on both sides of the city’s state line divide. 

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Temporary Wall Systems (TWS), the first and leading full-service, temporary containment wall provider in the United States, is opening two new locations on both sides of the MissouriKansas state line and will showcase their rentable wall solutions at Innovation Expo 2023 on Tuesday, Sept. 19.

Innovation Expo is held from 8 to 11 a.m. at The Builders Training Center on 105 W. 12th Avenue, North Kansas City, Missouri. The expo allows exhibitors to demonstrate the latest in construction technology to industry professionals.

For Cody and Andrea Herbster, owning the TWS in Kansas City, Kansas, is a goal the husband-and-wife duo has wanted to achieve for several years. The couple expects these easy-to-build and easy-to-remove walls will save contractors in their area hours, if not days, on building containment walls during renovations and construction.

“I’ve talked to several contractors in this area, and they are adamant about the need for these walls,” Cody Herbster said. “We want to build long-lasting relationships with members of the contracting community. Having a product that saves time and headaches will go a long way toward building those relationships.”

The Herbsters’ counterpart in Kansas City, MissouriMike Macy, agrees that the product helps contractors. He further points out that the walls are a cleaner and more environmentally friendly alternative to using permanent construction material for temporary containment walls.

“Owning and operating my own business has been a dream of mine for several years,” Macy said. “Introducing an ecologically sound product that also saves contractors time and money is a win-win for both the construction industry and the environment. It’s an honor to be able to provide this product to the Kansas City construction community.”

Both sets of owners said that the Kansas City Metro area is growing, and they see that many new businesses are being adaptive in renovating older buildings. The owners will work together to ensure the divided city’s contractors have the ability to use the eco-friendly and reusable walls to protect people and property from the dangers of construction and renovation projects.

Herbster is a Kansas native and has lived in Kansas City most of his life. He spent the last decade of his career in real estate development and understands the needs of general contractors as a result.

Macy grew up in South Dakota, but has now lived in Kansas City, Missouri, for more than half his life. He enjoys the small town feel of Kansas City even though the city has more than 2.3 million residents.

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.

HomeFront Brands Names Michael O’Driscoll President of Franchising

2023-09-12T10:32:23-04:00September 12th, 2023|Tags: , , , , , |

Multi-Brand Franchise Platform Promotes Accomplished Executive to Further Company’s Commitment to Being a Franchisee-First Focused Organization; Maintains COO Role. 

HUNTERSVILLE, N.C. — HomeFront Brands, the property service franchise platform with six emerging concepts in its franchise portfolio (Window Hero, The Designery, Temporary Wall Systems, BiltRite Home Inspections, Top Rail Fence and Mozzie Dome), announced that it has appointed Michael O’Driscoll to the role of President of Franchising. Promoted to oversee and lead the company’s operations, marketing and finance departments, O’Driscoll is heading the HomeFront Brands efforts to scale the leadership and corporate support teams, as well as its robust shared services programs, to reinforce the company’s commitment to supporting franchisees

“Over the years, I’ve had the chance to hone in on the core of what it takes to create a winning franchise business, and HomeFront Brands is the embodiment of just that,” said O’Driscoll, who brandishes a 36-year career in franchising holding executive level roles with both U.S.-based and overseas-based companies. “In early 2022, Chairman and CEO Jeff Dudan launched HomeFront Brands to be the most responsible franchise platform. His approach to put the franchisee at the center of everything we do hit home with me and it’s working wonderfully. Our first 12 months have been nothing short of extraordinary. We still have plenty of work to do to fully build out our support model for franchisees. The job will never really be done.”

O’Driscoll’s time with HomeFront Brands began less than nine months after its launch, serving as the company’s COO, a role he maintains along with his new title. His responsibilities thus far have included oversight of franchisee onboarding, franchisee coaching, call center operations, technology, data analytics, learning and development and the company’s annual convention. A key contributor to the HomeFront Brands shared services model, the franchise industry veteran brings more than three decades of experience to the President of Franchising position. Like with HomeFront Brands, the companies he has worked for have primarily been in property services, although he’s seen the sector at a global level. Launching his career in Australia, his home country, O’Driscoll has held leadership positions at the franchisor and franchise supplier levels with expertise in building models to scale, operations and finance. He is a proven company leader and successful entrepreneur in the franchise industry.

“Few are as dynamic as Michael,” said Dudan, who, before hiring O’Driscoll as a HomeFront Brands executive, turned to him as a consultant. “He was a key focal point for me in building out the company, and someone I trust implicitly to see through our goals.”

Working closely with Dudan to continue to elevate HomeFront Brands and cement it as an enterprise level business based on family values, O’Driscoll has his sights set on the company’s 10-year plan to build a 100-year company. As part of the leadership team, within the past year, HomeFront Brands and its platform’s six franchise brands, Window Hero, The Designery, Temporary Wall Systems, BiltRite Home Inspections, Top Rail Fence and Mozzie Dome, have opened more than 100 territories, with another 100-plus sold and in the process of opening. He has shaped each of the concepts as attractive franchise investments with minimized barriers to entry – lower start-up costs, fast to open, quick to generate revenue and simplified multi-concept, multi-territory ownership. He has implemented a world class learning management system which reduces training time and is accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

In addition to his successes at HomeFront Brands and prior, O’Driscoll has been active in franchise advocacy and industrywide leadership, serving on Boards and committees for the Franchise Council of Australia and the International Franchise Association, for which he currently serves on the Membership Committee.

Temporary Wall Systems expands into Pennsylvania with new Allentown location

2023-09-07T10:10:56-04:00September 7th, 2023|Tags: , , , |

The location owners will provide the Allentown and Lancaster area with rentable, reusable containment walls that will limit waste during construction and renovation projects. 

ALLENTOWN, Pa. — Temporary Wall Systems (TWS), the first and leading full-service, temporary containment wall provider in the United States, has expanded its services into Pennsylvania with a new Allentown/Lancaster location. The business is owned by Randy and Winona Smith, a husband and wife team dedicated to providing the area with a sustainable containment option.

“Temporary Wall Systems is a great opportunity for us to offer a new solution in the construction and renovation space that is more sustainable, economical and environmentally friendly,” Randy Smith said. “Currently, when a business owner has to separate an area he is renovating from the occupied space, the construction crew has to use drywall and other permanent materials to build a wall. With the TWS system, we provide a reusable and sustainable option that won’t be going to waste after it’s no longer needed.”

Smith said the couple is excited to be a part of the TWS franchise because they believe in the philosophy behind the modular wall company and its commitment to being an environmentally responsible containment alternative.

“Winona and I love this area and have lived here most of our lives,” he said. “This area has a great combination of medium and small towns near one another. It has a mixture of very rural areas and quaint towns scattered across rolling hills and farms but with the added bonus of being near the big city of Philadelphia. We want to preserve the aesthetic of this area. TWS will afford us with the opportunity to do just that.”

This business is a second act for the Smiths. Randy Smith has a mechanical engineering degree from Widener University and an MBA from the Keller Graduate School and spent nearly 35 years in machine engineering and manufacturing, serving as the president of NETZSCH Premier Technologies before opening his TWS location. Winona Smith received her nursing degree from Widener University and works as a pediatric nurse for Reading Hospital.

The couple have been married for 35 years and have two adult children and a granddaughter.

“We know our strong technical skills, experience managing a team and commitment to customer service will help us make our TWS location a success,” Randy Smith said. “We’re proud to offer a cost-effective system that provides a needed service in a safe manner. There is a lot of growth in the area and we’re here to meet the needs of the community as it builds more homes, schools, hospitals and infrastructure.”

Temporary Wall Systems provides modular wall systems that are designed with versatility in mind. The company’s full-service business model simplifies construction and renovation by taking care of the entire containment process, from job site delivery to expert installation and removal when the project is complete. The Allentown/Lancaster location serves AllentownBethlehemCollegeville, Dowingtown, EastonElizabethtownExtonHarrisburgHersheyKennett SquareLancasterLebanonMechanicsburgPhoenixvillePottstownQuakertownReadingWest Chester and York.

Top Rail Fence Memphis Celebrates Grand Opening at Vesta Home Show Vendor Days

2023-09-05T09:35:39-04:00September 5th, 2023|Tags: , , , |

Local owners want to make professionalism in contracting a priority. 

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Top Rail Fence, the on-time professionals in fence design, quality installation and service, will celebrate the grand opening of its Memphis location at the West Tennessee Home Builders Association’s Vesta Home Show Vendor Days on Wednesday, Sept. 6 at the association’s Collierville, Tennessee office.

“We’re very excited to take this leap into entrepreneurship and want to share our grand opening with local builders,” said Top Rail Fence Memphis co-owner Jack Shannon. “I was born and raised in Memphis, and I have wanted to open a professional and responsible fence contracting company in the area for some time. Showcasing our new fencing company to area contractors at this event is a great way to get started.”

Shannon and his consultant, Adam Hatley, another Memphis native, are determined to ensure that customers will no longer have poor experiences when hiring a property service provider.

“Customer service seems to be lacking throughout the contracting industry,” Hatley said. “We have seen and heard stories of someone hiring a contractor that does not show up or only completes half of the job. We want to bring back the professionalism of the industry. Our word is our bond. If we say we’re going to be there, we’re going to be there.”

Shannon has roots in the contracting industry. His family owned and operated a lumber company in the Memphis area for decades.

“I started working with my father when I was 14,” Shannon said. “I’m hoping to pass Top Rail Fence down to my own son if that is what he chooses to do. It’d be great to create a legacy in the area while getting the opportunity to be my own boss.”

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 Memphis offers residential, commercial and farm and ranch fencing options.

Temporary Wall Systems continues its expansion into New Jersey with a Meadowlands location

2023-08-29T09:45:46-04:00August 29th, 2023|Tags: , , , |

Owner to help area contractors provide a safe and sustainable temporary wall system. 

MEADOWLANDS, N.J. — Temporary Wall Systems (TWS), the first full-service, temporary containment wall provider in the United States, will open a new location in The Meadowlands on Labor Day – its third venue in New Jersey.

Owner Ken Papile said TWS’s turn-key approach will help local businesses solve the problem of additional waste that is created when disposable temporary walls are built to protect people from areas of construction and renovation. Most contractors usually construct these walls from drywall and other permanent materials that have to be tossed into landfills once the wall comes down after renovations.

“Temporary Wall Systems has created a rentable wall that is easy to install and produces little to no waste when it’s taken down,” he said. “I love that our rentable containment walls are a fast and reliable solution to protect people from the dust, noise and demolition during a renovation or construction project.”

Papile is a New York area native and graduate of Iona University in New Rochelle, New York. Prior to opening Temporary Wall Systems Meadowlands, he spent years as a sales executive for several large clothing and apparel distributors.

In addition to his corporate positions, Papile has also owned and operated a few businesses, including a company that renovates and rehabilitates older homes for resale. He said that when he researched TWS, he became impressed with its franchise model and knew the idea of rentable, reusable walls was a solid investment.

“The TWS system is a win-win for the contractor and the customer,” he said. “It’s more cost effective for the contractor and eliminates the need to fill up a landfill with permanent building materials that were only used for a temporary purpose.”

Papile said he also wants to create a long-term business in the Meadowlands area that he can keep in the family for years to come. He and his wife, Elissa, have three children: Giuliana, 9, Vienna, 7 and Milo, 3.

“I love this area because you can get pretty much anything you want in New Jersey,” he said. “There are beachy areas along the New Jersey shore, and there are rural areas, suburban areas and, of course, you can enjoy being close to New York City. It’s a great place to live, work and open a business.”

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.

Temporary Wall Systems South Jersey Provides Contractor and Facility-Friendly Containment Systems for Renovation and Construction Projects

2023-08-28T11:13:33-04:00August 28th, 2023|Tags: , , , |

Local owner will host a grand opening event for the new location at a facility management association golf tournament on Sept. 6. 

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — Temporary Wall Systems (TWS), the first full-service, temporary containment wall provider in the United States, will highlight its latest location in South Jersey at an International Facility Management Association (IFMA) annual golf outing at Running Deer Golf Club in Pittsgrove, New Jersey on Sept. 6.

Temporary Wall Systems South Jersey is an official sponsor of the golf event and local owner Sam Adler said he hopes to get the word out about the new location to area facilities managers and general contractors who attend the event.

Adler said he believes that the growth in the number of commercial renovations and construction projects in the South Jersey area provides a natural customer base for the temporary and reusable containment system his TWS location provides.

“When I was looking for investment opportunities, I saw the Temporary Wall Systems franchise and fell in love with the model,” he said. “During my research, I validated that a rental model for hard, modular temporary walls wasn’t a ‘nice to have’ option, but a ‘need to have’ option,” he said. “There is a great demand in this area for a temporary hard wall containment solution that is not only able to contain construction dust, noise and foot traffic, but is aesthetically pleasing and environmentally sustainable. Because the TWS walls are refreshed and reused, literally tons of scrap is prevented from going into our landfills.”

Adler has worked in executive leadership positions for the majority of his entire professional life, and he is confident that his background in leading marketing teams and raising brand awareness will help him expand his company.

“There are a lot of health care facilities, labs, hotels, casinos, office spaces, universities and many other commercial spaces in this area that will want the containment these walls provide as they begin remodeling projects,” he said. “Contractors are relieved to have a containment subcontractor option in the area. Building temporary containment from scratch can be expensive, unreliable and wasteful. Facility managers are thrilled when they see the aesthetic quality of TWS walls, how permanent they look, and how we help them meet their sustainability mandates.”

Adler pointed out that the reusable walls are fire rated, and also meet the Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA) Best Practices in Health Care Construction, so they will be most welcome in protecting workers, staff and patients in hospitals and other healthcare facilities.

He and his wife, Fabienne, expect that his TWS location will provide local employment and also be able to give back to his community through a variety of charitable associations.

Temporary Wall Systems expands its Texas footprint with a location in Fort Worth

2023-08-18T10:15:21-04:00August 18th, 2023|Tags: , , , |

Local owners want to build a sustainable business that also provides good employment for area residents. 

FORT WORTH, Texas — Temporary Wall Systems (TWS), the first full-service, temporary containment wall provider in the United States, will showcase its new Fort Worth location with a booth at the Build Fort Worth Expo at the Will Rogers Memorial Center on Friday, Aug. 18.

Owners Steve and Helen Holden said they want their TWS location to provide contractors in the Fort Worth area with a more sustainable option to building temporary walls with permanent materials during renovations.

“We want to help keep building materials out of landfills and our temporary, rentable walls are a perfect way to do this,” Steve Holden said. “These walls provide contractors with a way to erect barriers that protect people and property from construction but are easily removed after construction is complete. In time, we hope this business grows to provide good employment opportunities for the area, as well.”

The Holdens are originally from New Zealand but came to the United States 22 years ago as Steve Holden built his career in the telecommunications industry. Helen Holden also built a career managing a number of retail and fashion-related outlets. The couple lived in several cities throughout the United States before moving to Texas nine years ago.

“My time spent in customer service will be a plus as we build this business,” she said. “I like getting to know what customers truly need so that I can provide the service they want. Our Temporary Wall Systems location will allow us to hone our networking and sales skills to get the business kicked off right and running efficiently in no time.”

Steve Holden said the couple has fallen in love with the Dallas/Fort Worth community and wants to cement their ties by opening a local business that can improve the lives of contractors, residents and workers.

“There has been enormous growth in the Dallas/Fort Worth area and we’re excited to be a part of it,” he said. “It’s this growth and opportunity for new business that will drive our success.”

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 expands its footprint into Missouri with a St. Charles location

2023-08-14T13:55:14-04:00August 14th, 2023|Tags: , , , |

Local owners want to restore customer service in the property service industry by improving responsiveness and on-time delivery. 

ST. CHARLES, Mo. — Top Rail Fence, the on-time professionals in fence design, quality, installation, and service, is expanding into Missouri with a new location in the St. Charles area. Local owners Jonathan Arnold and Ray Wolff say they want to restore consumer confidence in the property service industry.

“I bought a home during the COVID-19 pandemic and had the worst experience trying to hire home service contractors,” Arnold said. “They would either not show up when they said they were going to or not show up at all. And, I heard from others who had tried to hire contractors that this was a common practice. I want Top Rail Fence St. Charles to be a contractor that does what we say we’re going to do. We’re setting out to change the opinion about contractors in the St. Charles community.”

Wolff also cited the lack of customer service during the pandemic as a catalyst for joining the ranks of the property service industry as an owner. He will serve as the location’s general manager, handling the day-to-day activities of the fencing company and ensuring Top Rail Fence St. Charles exceeds customer expectations.

Arnold is a native Missourian and has lived in the St. Charles/St. Louis area for 27 years. He is a graduate of Western Illinois University in Macomb, Illinois, and has worked in marketing and operations for several media companies and other large corporations throughout his career. He continues to work in operations for a large healthcare organization but eventually wants to spend the majority of his time growing his Top Rail Fence company.

Wolff worked in the financial sector and in corporate compensation where he managed the compensation portfolio for a 24,000-member sales and marketing staff. After working in corporate America for more than 16 years, Wolff decided to pursue his entrepreneurial interests and joined Arnold to open and manage the fencing company.

Arnold said he sees his company as a business with the capacity to grow quickly in his service area.

“This is the Midwest,” he said. “We have big houses and big yards and with big yards come big fences. There is a lot of new growth in this area. The little communities here have grown into bigger communities that now touch one another. There are new homeowners moving in all the time.”

Top Rail Fence St. Charles serves St. CharlesSaint PetersTroy, O’Fallon, Winfield and Moscow Mills, Missouri. The company offers fencing for residential, commercial and farming customers.

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.
