In this episode, I talk with Dan Claps, CEO and Co-Founder of VODA Cleaning and Restoration. VODA was started in 2009 and started franchising in 2023. Dan tells the story of the founding of VODA, how he got involved, lessons behind their remarkable growth, and what he is most excited about as he continues to build out the VODA brand in home services.

Voda Cleaning & Restoration is raising the bar for cleaning and restoration services nationwide. Their mission is simple: to make life easier for those responsible for creating inviting, healthy spaces, whether at home, work, or in business.

"Voda" means water in Serbian and embodies their approach. Like water, they bring a gentle yet powerful clean, renewing both the visible and hidden spaces in a client's home or business. They leave behind nothing but a radiant clean, so you can quickly return to what matters—living and working with peace of mind.
