MinuteMan Press Printing
Specialty Area: Our primary
business is residential & commercial
junk removal, specializing in everything
from ofce relocations to estate and
house clean-outs.
Business Lesson Learned: We
operate by a very simple motto: we
bend over backwards to accommo-
date our customers needs and we
do what we say we are going to do.
Our business today is built on tradi-
tional customer service values that
have seemed to diminish throughout
the service industry. Hold steady to
your core values and beliefs.

Owner: Jude Arijaje
Founded: April 2008
Specialty Areas: Providers of all
printing needs. Services include but
arent limited to: business cards, let-
terheads, envelopes, training manu-
als, banners, business signs, in-
voices, estimate forms, government
contracts and promotional material.
Favorite Project: We do a lot of
printing for big names in the area like
SugarHouse Casino, MAC Group
and P. Agnes.
Tips from the Pros: People spend a lot of their
free time and resources trying to clean out their
houses, garages or basements on their own. Our
service is efcient, safe, fast and affordable. Most
of the time, we end up being the most affordable
solution compared to DIY alternatives.
Favorite Project: We get calls to remove
30-year-old freezers or large pianos sitting in
our customers basements after theyve been
remodeled and no longer fit through the door.
The projects that seem impossible to our
customers are the ones that we love the most!
Tips from the Pros: It all depends on where
you are in your business. Whether you have PDF
les ready to print or need assistance, we can do
it. We provide specialized and customized services
in a high quality way that allows us to cater to the
whole spectrum of business.
Business Lesson Learned: It is common
to say that with any business you have to do
your homework. But you have to talk to people
and let them know you are committed to their
business and committing to forming a professional
relationship with them.

Owner: Ernie Keen
Founded: 2008
Experience Level: For many years,
creating decorative nishes was a
hobby until going at it full-time in 2008.
Specialty Area: Interior painting
and decorative nishes to include:
Venetian and Stone Plastering, Stencil -
ing, Metallic and Glass mediums that
create jewel-like accents.
Business Lesson Learned: Stay
up on the latest trends and be pre-
pared for the unexpected.
Favorite Project: Mostly, we focus on residen-
tial roong. However, we go above and beyond
standard procedure, inspecting not only the roof-
ing but the surrounding perimeter which some-
times is the real root of the problem. We offer free
estimates and discounts for our senior citizens and
disabled clients.
Tips from the Pros: Always silver-coat your roof
every 2-3 years. In addition to protecting your roof,
the coat reects 80% of the heat and sun off of the
roof, keeping houses cooler in the summer.
Favorite Projects: Monti-Rago Funeral Home at
2531-35 S. Broad St., Philadelphia, PA. In the main
parlor, we created a Damask wall covering with the
use of stencils The ofce bathroom was nished
in a monochromatic stripe and the restroom in the
private lounge was nished in metallic glazes.
Tips From the Pros: Work with knowledgeable
professionals. We stay up-to-date with the hottest
trends and products through our continuing
education. We are a proud member of the PDCA.
