Darius Matis of Men in Kilts

How Men In Kilts has already become a staple in Downtown Lakeland, including providing regular cleaning services for the COhatch building itself.

In this episode of “I Am Lakeland,” host Don Burns sits down with Darius Matis, the owner and operator of Men In Kilts Lakeland. Recorded at COhatch, this conversation explores how a former high-voltage electrician from Romania (via Canada) brought a unique and eye-catching cleaning service to Central Florida.

Darius shares his journey of moving his family from the cold climates of Alberta, Canada, to the sunshine of Lakeland in 2023. Looking for a fresh start, he launched the local franchise of Men In Kilts, a professional exterior cleaning company known for its high standards of service and its technicians’ distinctive attire.

Whether you’re looking to brighten up your home’s curb appeal or you’re simply curious about the man behind the kilt, Darius’s story is a great example of the entrepreneurial spirit that keeps Lakeland looking its best. 56
