Molly Maid cleaning teams are dispatched daily from the Towne Lake location. However, homeowners aren’t the only ones who benefit from their services. A portion of each cleaning fee is donated to the Cherokee Family Violence Center through the Ms. Molly Foundation (www.msmolly.org). Owner Jim Lang is a firm believer in giving back to the community that has helped his business
grow since 2004.
“We have quite a few customers who have been serviced for more than 15 years” he said. “The foundation of our business is built on trust, quality and reliability, established by a tenured, caring office staff and cleaning teams.”
The majority of Molly Maid customers see their cleaning teams weekly or every other week. Naturally, many strong personal relationships have been formed.
Time and again, crew members have gone above and beyond the job they were hired to do. Jim and his staff receive many notes thanking the cleaners for bringing a smile to their children’s faces.
In one instance, the cleaners set up the stuffed animals to appear as if they were reading books and posed dolls as though they were dancing. Jim appreciates these heartwarming actions by his caring staff.
“Molly Maid provides customers the gift of time to focus on more important things, such as family,” Jim said. “We have numerous customers who are faced with a variety of personal health issues and are so appreciative and trusting that Molly Maid can support their household needs.”

In 2016, Dan McMillan acquired Five Star Painting of Kennesaw (founded in 2013) and expanded the territory to Cherokee County. His company specializes in repainting interiors, exteriors, decks, fences and kitchen cabinets in commercial and residential properties.
While many painting contractors market multiple trades (flooring, roofing, siding, remodeling, etc.), Dan believes painting warrants a singular focus, due to its complexity. “We are not trying to deliver a general contracting experience; rather, an excellent painting project,” he said.
True to the company’s culture of giving back, veterans and first responders get discounts, and customers who donate new socks and/or underwear during the project get $50 off a painting. Donations are taken to MUST Ministries — Cherokee.
Another way to save is the same-as-cash financing option. The program, popular with real estate agents, enables clients to paint before selling their home and pay later. “This has helped multiple customers prep houses for sale, sell them quicker and at a higher profit,” Dan said.
Free on-site painting estimates are offered. Typically, measurements are taken and written quotes are reviewed with the home or business owner. Professional estimators use a proprietary software system to develop estimates, ensuring on-time and on-budget results.
Each job is managed by a professional project manager, who establishes proper expectations, keeps customers updated and ensures complete satisfaction. Five Star is fully insured and provides a written warranty on all work. Only premium coating products are used: Sherwin Williams, Behr, Benjamin Moore and PPG.
Mr. Handyman

It’s clear that David Thompson, owner of Mr. Handyman of Canton and Woodstock, understands the value of experience and being well equipped for whatever job lies ahead. Each uniformed technician has at least 10 years experience and arrives on the job in a well-stocked van that basically is a mini-hardware store on wheels.
There’s another element David knows that’s important in the service industry: Treat each customer as if they are essential to the success of the company.
“We believe communication is the key to any great relationship and customer service. Therefore, after you schedule service, you will receive an automatic text message reminder the day before your appointment and a text on the day of service informing you that the technician is on his way,” David said. “We even send a picture of the technician who will be knocking at your door!”
This veteran-owned business opened in May 2020, with a faith-based foundation and a priority on communication and transparency. Locally owned and staffed, Mr. Handyman carries full general liability and workers’ compensation insurance, and operates with the appropriate licensing required by Cherokee County.
“Our goal is to provide the best work possible so that the customer is completely satisfied,” David said. “Our knowledgeable and empathetic customer service representatives answer all incoming calls promptly, schedule jobs to meet the customer’s time frame, and our technicians show up on time in clearly marked vans and wearing company uniforms. ”
