| Restoration Strategies  Jeff Cross |
| My name is Jeff Cross, and I’m the media director for Cleaning & Maintenance Management magazine. There is an event coming up that is of interest to you as a cleaning contractor. It’s called Restoration Strategies and focuses on how to get disaster restoration jobs, such as from water damage. |
You might have wondered if you should jump into commercial or even residential water damage restoration. At Restoration Strategies, we have had many BSCs attend and start a water damage division. It works. It’s profitable. Everything you need to do this on the business side is presented at this event. At this event, there is a special two-part presentation by Tim Miller on “How to ‘Quick Launch’ Into Commercial Restoration.” One of Tim’s specialties is breaking into new markets and if you want the big jobs, those large commercial restoration projects up for grabs, this is the opportunity you need. You might be referring water damage jobs (broken or leaky pipes, roof damage, rainwater intrusion, even damage from events like tornadoes, storms, hurricanes, etc) to other companies. You can do them yourself and even expand and create a new company or division that does this work. Click below to watch and listen to Tim describe this presentation. Did you know that, according to the Insurance Information Institute, incurred losses for commercial insurance are rising dramatically and were more than $172 billion in 2020? And yet, most restorers are primarily focused on the residential market! Does this make sense? It might, depending on your business model, but now is the time to look at getting into, or doing more, commercial restoration work. |
