Spotlight on local business

Leslie Schultz Founder of SOAR

Drew sat down with Brian, a local business owner making a big impact across Frederick with not just one—but 2 service-based brands focused on making life easier (and better looking) at home.

Brian owns both The Cleaning Authority – Frederick and Lawn Squad of Frederick, and during the conversation, he breaks down how each business helps homeowners take back their time while keeping their spaces in top shape.

They start inside the home with The Cleaning Authority – Frederick, a locally owned and operated franchise that’s been serving the area since 2007. Brian explains how their team delivers high-quality residential cleaning using eco-friendly products and a unique Detail-Clean Rotation System. That system ensures no corner gets overlooked, even over time. Customers can choose weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly schedules, and everything is handled by a trained, vetted team focused on consistency and reliability.

Then the conversation heads outside with Lawn Squad of Frederick. Brian dives into how their VitaminLawn program is designed specifically for the local soil and weather conditions here in Frederick. It’s not a one-size-fits-all approach—this includes tailored fertilization, weed control, aeration, and pest management to keep lawns healthy, green, and weed-free. The goal? Turn your yard into the best-looking one on the block.

It’s a great listen for anyone looking to simplify home maintenance while still getting professional-level results—inside and out.
