In the Milton community and beyond, residents are always on the lookout for reliable local businesses that bring convenience and quality to their doors. One business that has been steadily earning the trust and accolades of the area is Bar-B-Clean North Atlanta, led by Ron and Michelle Bain. With a dedicated focus on grill cleaning, repairs, and sales, Ron and his team have become pivotal players in maintaining the region's outdoor cooking spaces.
The Journey to Business Ownership
Born and raised on the West Coast, Ron and Michelle met during college at the University of Oregon and have been married for more than 34 years. Their journey to owning Bar-B-Clean North Atlanta began after a successful three-decade corporate career in sales that led to many moves around the country, ultimately landing them in the North Atlanta area in 2008 where they raised their two daughters.
With their children grown and craving the autonomy and challenges of owning a business, Ron and Michelle sought out a franchise opportunity that would resonate with their personal interests. After extensive research and consultation, they found the perfect match in Bar-B-Clean, a franchise known for its comprehensive grill cleaning and maintenance services. It was a venture that aligned with their mutual love for grilling and entertaining in their outdoor living space.
Understanding Bar-B-Clean’s Offerings
Bar-B-Clean started over a decade ago in Southern California and is now making waves in North Atlanta thanks to Ron and Michelle’s passionate leadership. The primary service offered is a meticulous grill cleaning process that takes around two and a half to three hours. Using a combination of commercial steam cleaners and high-grade tools, they ensure grills are spotless and safe for use.
Beyond cleaning, Bar-B-Clean also repairs grills, helping extend the life of these essential outdoor appliances. They handle everything from routine repairs to more extensive diagnostic assessments, ensuring each grill functions at its best. Ron and his team also facilitate grill sales, providing solutions for clients needing replacements or upgrades that fit specific outdoor kitchen configurations.
Inside the Grill Master’s World
In addition to owning a grill-centered business, Ron is an avid griller himself. His home deck is adorned with an array of cooking appliances from a Green Egg to a Napoleon Grill to a Blackstone, showcasing his passion for cooking outdoors. Football games paired with grilling sessions are among his favorite pastimes, a hobby that aligns perfectly with his professional life. Ron also plays drums in a band called “Jack Squat!” (a nod to their typical booking fee) while Michelle enjoys gardening and is an active member of their HOA.
Customer Care and Community Connection
Like the Bains, you may have a well-loved outdoor cooking space—and if it has not been cleaned in over a year, it might be impacted by the presence of rodents and roaches. Or you may be noticing hesitation when starting or even the beginning of rust, which is the grill’s worst enemy! One of the unique services Bar-B-Clean offers is a diagnostic visit, which helps customers decide whether to proceed with repairs or extensive cleaning. This service, priced at $125, comes with a valuable credit if additional services are chosen. This customer-centered approach highlights Ron's commitment to transparency and value, ensuring clients feel confident in their decisions.
Ron’s appreciation for tennis is also woven into his business ethos. The legal name of Bar-B-Clean is "Ad In Enterprises," a nod to his family's love for their favorite sport, regularly competing in ALTA and USTA matches.
Advisory for Homeowners with Outdoor Kitchens
A crucial piece of advice from Ron is for future homeowners to include grill diagnostics when purchasing properties with outdoor kitchens. Often overlooked by home inspectors, grill conditions can later lead to unexpected expenses or disappointments. Ron advocates for proactive measures to ensure appliances are functional and safe, ultimately preserving the value of such home features.
