Verisk comes up as an insurance rating, analytics, and technology company. Do they actually write policies, collect premiums, and pay claims? It is similar to Calyx Point Software for loan officer or Lexis Nexis for credit bureaus. It is a third party that offers services to the industry that it supports. I could be wrong. Is there a parent company that writes policies?

Hello! I thought you had a course but I dont see a link.

I wish you were in NJ!

First! Hello from Houston, Tx!

Hey Shane, great videos man! I have a question. How do you handle a situation where a client wants to make upgrades or changes to the scope? For example, adjuster approved the replacement of all the continuous flooring throughout the main floor and the client decided to put a transition strip and just do one room. She then wants to use the money that would’ve gone to replacing all of the floors to doing something else like adding cabinets and extending her countertop space. Is this type of activity allowed? Every insurance claim job I’ve had the client requests improvements and changes to the scope. I’m in the Portland OR metro area and most of our insurance claims we get are due to pipes freezing and busting causing interior damage to kitchens and bathroom.

What do you think about them leaving machines running 45 days, only tore one room, insulation from crawlspace. small bathroom, a wall and partial kitchen. Said it would be maybe 20 at the highest. Charged 80k… I mean.. that’s almost a third of our house. Multiple contractors came in saying they were out of their minds.

The jury part got me 😂 love the videos! Glad i found this page

Very helpful, thanks!!

Yo can you hit us with a video about the contents side of things on a restoration job?

Really bad advice. At that point you're negotiating in bad faith. The IICRC is crystal clear about equipment usage. Contractors who use your techniques are why honest contractors get treated so rudely by adjusters. Be honest, bill precisely per industry standards, hold firm that you're not negotiating because you followed the standards, and you'll do just fine in this business.

And the bank will deny a heavy request loan every single time.

Restoration contractors make huge margins. Who are you fooling.

25 pizzas? You know thats like 3 400$ right? Probably alot more. fuckin 2 pizzas in canada from pizza pizza 54$

I want to be a Victorian house restoration contractor. How do I get into the business of bringing these beauties back into shape?

couldn't have said it better myself. Always start with a big ask and then gradually making small concessions. This approach makes the other person believe they are getting a better deal.

“They gon send a green truck out there” 😂😂😂 love the ServPro sneak diss

He still good at what he says. College isn't cheap... Classes aren't cheap.. Sometimes it's better to have a mentor or guy like him. To keep us motivated. Shane is really good. Never bought his course. But I'm sure he has pure gold.

Great tips, thanks!!

Bro, most restoration contractors are doing just fine. You decided not to continue and now you try and preach and sell your course.

my advice is go work for several companies first. They are always short staff and need people. It will be hell, but thats the best training there is.

When I was a marketer, I would always take the phones after hours. I got paid off of my book which typically didn’t have emergencies. But if I got an online lead call I went out and sold, I would get paid 2.5%.

Money talks. Great video.

I think you need to clarify what industry your in...restoration services....so many diff type of pm in this world..fir example my current job.. IT PM...requires 95 % doing financials.. getting people and partners paid...no IT knowledge really required....i have learned what PM actually means...MY FAULT...even thhough ITprojects are huge.. all kinds of people involved per project.. but when one of those 22 people drop the ball... everyone blames the PM.. RESPONSIBLE FOR EVERY RESPONSIBILITY FOR 22 PEOPLE....ONE TIME OUR TECH IN SOUTH DAKATO WIFE HAD A BABY 3 HOURS BEFORE 8AM...CUST WANYED TO KNOW WHERE THE BU TECH IS... I WAS SUPPOSED YO KNOW TECH HAD A PREGNANT WIFE AT 9 MONTHS..

Xactimate shows pricing per line item. I know you did not confirm that but the way you explained it and noting multiple times that insurance wants to see price per item implies it doesn’t.

Have you updated your agteements if so when?

Ive had an adjuster's license 7 years, now getting into the restoration business. The only times (maybe twice) I ever asked for ESX is because I had at least 40 other claims, it was a large house and the contractor already had it sketched. Since I sketch on site that saves me hours. Anytime we get their estimate, even if it's a PDF we can see price differences anyway. No doubt some adjusters use the file to nit pick, but that wasn't me.

I’m a plumber and own a company there is so much money in just the jobs alone without doing restorations.

Who else do we market to for water then… might have to just start my own plumbing org.

The same goes for fence builder. To expensive to pay for leads.

Hi Shane. Thanks for the amazing videos. Is WRT certification enough to succeed or do you recommend taking ASD as well. ( I have FSRT and OCT and working on AMRT now. Thanks sir.

Is water restoration just tearing out walls and using negative air? Because the way I see it why call it restoration if walls are not going back up?
