Why “MDX” Matters: The Story Behind the Name Curb Appeal MDX
Every business has a name.
But the best ones — the ones that really mean something — come from a deeper place.

For me, the name Curb Appeal MDX isn’t just about homes, services, or curb appeal. It’s about family — and the people who push me to build something lasting.

 
👶 The “MDX” in Curb Appeal 👶
The “MDX” stands for my son, Maddox.

When I became a dad, everything changed. Suddenly, the late nights and long hours had a new purpose. My motivation shifted from just building a business to building a legacy.
I wanted to create something that would not only support my family now but also set an example for my son — showing him what it means to work hard, serve others, and create something that matters.

My wife, Mickelle, and our son, Maddox, are my why. They’re the reason I wake up every day ready to grow Curb Appeal MDX into something meaningful — a company built on trust, service, and family values.

 
🏡 Why “Curb Appeal”?🏡 
When I was coming up with the name, I kept coming back to one phrase: curb appeal.

It perfectly captured what we do — helping homeowners take care of everything outside their homes. From lawns to lighting, gutters to snow removal, “curb appeal” is what we help families protect and improve.

But I didn’t want it to sound like just another home services brand. I wanted it to have a piece of my story inside it.

That’s where “MDX” came in — a personal reminder of who I’m building this for, and why I want to do it the right way.

 
💪 What “MDX” Represents 💪
“MDX” isn’t just initials. It’s a reminder.
Every time I see it on our trucks, website, or shirts, it reminds me that:

This business is rooted in family, not just transactions.
Every job we complete reflects the kind of example I want to set for Maddox.
The homeowners we serve are families too — trying to create safe, beautiful spaces for the people they love most.
At Curb Appeal MDX, we believe that when you care about people first, the business takes care of itself.

 
🧱 Building Something That Lasts 🧱
Curb Appeal MDX started as an idea — to simplify home care and connect homeowners with trusted local pros.
But behind that mission is something even bigger: the drive to create a company with heart.

We’re not just here to blow out sprinklers or clear snow. We’re here to make homeownership a little easier, to protect people from getting burned by bad contractors, and to bring back trust in local service.

That’s the kind of company I want my son to see one day — one that stands for integrity, hard work, and family.

 
❤️ From Our Family to Yours ❤️
So yes — Curb Appeal MDX stands for Curb Appeal Maddox.
But it also stands for meaning, dedication, and trust — the same values I want to pass down to my son and reflect in every home we serve.

From our family to yours — thank you for being part of this journey.
