Lemonade Property Services: Smart Maintenance for Every Home | Tomas Almanza | EP 104

Kasey King sits down with Tomas Almanza—pastor, dad of five, and founder of Lemonade Property Services—to talk about turning $288,000 worth of “lemons” into a thriving, trust-driven home-maintenance company serving York County.

From scam recovery, to why small repairs snowball, to what every homeowner should be doing twice a year, Tomas breaks down the systems he built to protect people, save money, and restore peace of mind in their homes.
