Kim Folden

Kim Folden
MaidPro

Two years into owning her MaidPro franchise, Kim Folden is excited about how the business is growing and serving even more of the San Antonio area. MaidPro is a home cleaning service with franchises across the country. The first exciting announcement comes as Kim reveals the expansion of her MaidPro service area. “We began in Stone Oak, Timberwood Park, and Hollywood Park two years ago and have just added Schertz, Cibolo, Garden Ridge, and Universal City. We also just acquired the Dominion, Boerne, and Fair Oaks Ranch areas and increased our staff from eight to twenty dedicated employees.” Next, and equally exciting, MaidPro is also expanding its list of services. Launching in June or July of this year, Kim announces a new exterior house cleaning service called Men In Kilts. This service will provide exterior window cleaning, power washing of all exterior surfaces, roof cleaning, and other things that take manpower to accomplish. “We will be able to service our client’s homes inside and out and keep their investment looking top-notch!” says Kim. Men in Kilts (wearing shorts under the kilts) can schedule quarterly, semi-annual, and annual cleanings. Approaching their second anniversary, Kim remembers how she started her business at the beginning of COVID in April 2020. “COVID has presented a few challenges, mostly with staff and client’s getting sick, she says. But the longer I own this business, the longer I feel ingrained in the community, and I get to know people on a whole different level. I appreciate the value of the client and their vulnerability. They allow us into their homes and lives, which I love. I love getting to know the client!” Of her employees, Kim, a mom of two, reports that eighteen of her twenty employees are moms. “I love employing moms. The schedule allows them to work around their kid’s routines and schooling. It makes me happy to provide employment that gives them more time with their families.” Each employee undergoes a thorough background check and is bonded and insured. But, of course, all must be pet-friendly, too. “Pets are family, so we clean up after them too!” says Kim. MaidPro is currently offering a $25 discount on the 2nd, 4th, and 5th cleanings, just in time for the spring-cleaning season. Estimates are free.

Lorraine & Oscar Sanchez

Lime Painting Of San Antonio

When Loraine Sanchez decided to leave a twenty-plus year career in corporate America for entrepreneurship, she chose to invest in the franchise LIME Painting. LIME offers both commercial and residential interior and exterior painting services. Loraine sought to impress upon her teenage daughters how possible it is to be a business owner. In her search for the right opportunity, Loraine found LIME. She was drawn to the concept because the company’s values aligned perfectly with her family. LIME is an anagram for Love, Integrity, Mission, and Excellence. Loraine says she fell in love with the company “because the whole process embodies LIME.” Sanchez explains that LIME painting is not just about painting on the walls, siding, or trim. Instead, it is about creating an excellent customer experience. “We want people to fall in love with their homes again,” she says. That excellent customer experience is evident from the beginning to the end of the project. Customers can expect to deal with the same person at every step. “It’s unique,” says Loraine. “Typically, in this business, a person sells to you, then passes you to an estimator, then a closer, then a site manager.” With LIME, it’s white glove treatment. The same person handles the communication and transactions. And the best part (besides the beautiful outcomes) is each job closes out with a HANDBAKED Key Lime Pie. Loraine’s husband learned and perfected the recipe and bakes every pie! “I can’t tell you how joyful it is to present the pie at the end of the project. Seeing the smiles on the customer’s faces from that little extra touch,” says Loraine. The pie is yummy, but beyond that, customers love the focus on quality, ease of experience, and excellent communication. LIME painting offers additional services surrounding home improvement, including lime wash on brick and stone, minor carpentry work, drywall repair, door restoration, rusted metal painting, stucco and masonry painting, and epoxy floor coatings. Their service area reaches from Helotes to Schertz and south to Alamo Heights and Terrell Hills. In May, Sanchez launched her business in April 2022 and was immediately de-railed in May by the unexpected loss of her mother. It was tough timing. But, in August, she picked back up and re-launched in honor of her mom. “She believed in me and wanted me to do this. She believed we could do good work through this business. So I really had to push forward,” Loraine explains. LIME offers free, detailed, step-by-step estimates and a personalized experience. “We listen and tailor to what the customer needs and wants,” says Loraine. They also offer a one-year labor warranty in addition to the warranty on the paint. “I love serving and providing smiles in the community. And there are so many wonderful people in San Antonio to serve!”, exclaims Sanchez.
