The company started out with only two employees:

Torrefiel and his son Erwin who was in colleges at
that time. To get the business up and running, their
capital was a loan from Erwin’s uncle; and their
equipment was borrowed. Initially the service
catered to homeowners who had stone surfaces
cleaned, and the family slowly paid back their loan
with profit from their work. But that business model
changed when Erwin, now in his mid-30s took over
the business in 1998.
”There’s no model, no their business like it,” shares
Erwin. “When I took over, I walked from one end of
Roxas Boulevard to the other looking for clients.” It
was in 2001 when the business took off.
