What is your biggest challenge? - Getting more water damage jobs?
- Getting paid by insurance companies?
- Getting out of the day to day?
Getting more jobs for sure
@@guymitchell9000 To much competition or the larger companies swollowing up the business?
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.
Thank you! I’m thinking of operating a water restoration franchise.. you gained a new subscriber!
Great stuff Shane, we are 10 months in and your hitting the nail on the head as to where we are with 1 full time employee. Looking forward to more content!
Thanks for the feedback!
What was your biggest win so far this year?
What has been harder than you thought?
Business is awesome, but very hard at the same time
@@TheRestorationContractor I’d have to say the biggest win was generating revenue with no financial backing (self financed with pretty much nothing). I left my full time job as an ops mgr for the big green and went indie. Traveled to Texas during the freeze and boom! Financed.
Biggest challenge has been creating a brand from nothing…self taught SEO and working on more referral sources. We are mold heavy and need. More water jobs!
Congratulations on year 1.
Texas was amazing.
As for water jobs... that is your ticket.
I will have videos coming out on getting water jobs.
Are you working with any plumbers yet?
@@TheRestorationContractor applied ‘servant marketing’ to a couple plumbers so far and got my first referral today! Looking forward to more content to aid in growing… btw, let’s go Braves!
@@asoria119 May I ask how a traveling water extraction company works? I am assuming the insurance companies refer you where they need it?
Great advise, get work and hire people. So insightful
Not sure if you are being sarcastic or not… but yes, this is my advice
We see a mix of all of this issues with smaller restoration companies - We are using the Get Out Of The Truck system to help them get out of the day to day
Good to hear from you. I always referred to it as getting out of the ditch...
Getting out of the truck | out of the ditch | out of the process... hardest part
Riches are on the other side though
Just got my GC license, and my main goal is construction work. but if I can get restoration work too, even better! Thanks for the video.
Holy shit Shane.
That a good thing?
Started my restoration company in July of this year. I have ALOT of time to grow and learning to do so keep the videos coming brother
Congratulations on going out on your own!
What has been the hardest part?
How is your busienss doing today?
Trying to do this with asbestos abatement. Just landed my 4th job: enjoy your videos think a lot of the content applies although not straight across necessarily.
Glad you like the content. You are right in that the lessons translate but not always directly.
Hi Shane, do you think it is a good idea to start up a 51/49% company for water restoration works together with insurance agent (lawyer?) who can bring the jobs and deal with insurance companies, while I will be doing the jobs? I have no any experience in this area. Thanks.
I wouldn't do a startup with anyone on an equity basis.
You can get leads for 10-30% of the value of the job pretty easily... no need to give up 49 or 50%
My answer is no
I can show you how to get great leads from the internet
If you want to strike a deal with that guy on a job per job basis... that is one thing
I would NOT do it for the whole company
Hi everything is true
But the only is listening to is
You have to make one job then another job then one more the you are ok
He did not say how ??
thanks
Very interested in the templates trying to get my act together need help with my contracts too looking forward to more vids from you learned sooo much so far
We are giving away a free set of contracts with our test drive. You can get the details at www.workwithshane.com
I’m definitely interested in those templates you mentioned on how to get my invoices right! Great content btw, just started watching and going to start building my business this summer before storm season!
Good to hear from you.
What market are you in?
@@TheRestorationContractor Retail residential
Do you need a contractors license to bid water mitigation jobs in California?
Shane I've been checking out a lot of different youtube videos. Yours seem to be the most beneficial man. Do you have an online course on WRT, ASD, mold remediation, Exactimate. Basically a newbie trying to get into the business with Texas requirements. I appreciate your videos!
I'm a fireman so I'm usually the one causing the water damage (you're welcome fellas.) Now I'm trying to figure out this business. Please help, thank you.
Whats up Mike!
Good to hear from you...
Yes, we recently put together a program for startups.
You can book a call with us at www.workwithshane.com
or text me at 615-685-2128
Restoration is a great business (once you figure it out)
You get to help people - and GET RICH
win win :)
Would you recommend starting on your own restoration business or buying a franchise such as a Servpro or All Dry?
Independent for sure! You can always join a franchise later if needed BUT you can’t get out of one.
If you are close to launching, text me 615-685-2128
@@TheRestorationContractor hello thi
Hi Shane so say if you get a call for a water damage job how do you give an estimate do you go look at it photos etc because I feel going out and looking waste time when you could be getting and doing other jobs because what If you go look and don’t seal the job
Great question. What I would do personally as the owner is different than if it was one of my employees.
Default answer:
If you get a call for a leak, go look at it.
As you do it longer you will be able to improve your questioning skills to better understand the situation.
If it is at all a question, go look at it
There are some qualification questions you could ask BUT... keep in mind that most homeowners don't even know if it is wet or not.
They may or may not have a reasonable idea about the damage.
I can make a video on this...
if you have more questions, text me 615 685 2128
Great information
Thanks for the feedback.
Do you do water mitigation?
Yes I get your messages and I’m starting to see your videos
Nice video
Thanks
Would you please help and touch base on invoicing how to scale up from $3500 on up
We have some sample estimates we can show you.
book a call with us: www.workwithshane.com
talk soon
you forgot one thing...how do you get the jobs?
We have other videos on getting leads. Check them if you haven't already.
What you will do to get jobs will vary based on what job type you want and who it is you are trying to get the jobs from. Plumbers are different than agents so what would do to get jobs from one of them is different than the other.
Hope that makes sense?
If not, book a call with us: www.workwithshane.com
Take care!
Nice information, but what I see is what can you offer that Servpro can't offer ??
@@TheRestorationContractor Getting leads? like contact info of property owners? Thats simple sat and thought how lead companies get their leads. a lot of those companies are using the same tool. You care to share?
@@UncleGabe216 The build back, Roofing ,writing contracts for contractors, blue prints....ect
How can I see your billing templates.
We provide them for you on our 30 day test drive
text me and we can talk about it 615-685-2128
Hi Shane, I plan to get licensed but don't have a truck, should I get an sba loan? Can I rent the equipment I need to start?
Do insurance companies really pay $5500 for just water jobs?
You have a car now right? I'd trade it in for a pickup and start there
Yes, you can and should rent the gear to start
Yes, they will pay you $5,500 (or more) for water jobs!
We have a prelaunch program that helps you get started when you get ready. It comes will all the contracts and things you need in the beginning. It is $350 and has a money back guarantee
Let me know if I can help!
Good luck
@TheRestorationContractor awesome as I get closer. I'll ping you. Appreciate your QUICK response! 😀
@@TheRestorationContractor Is an SUV and trailer accepable? That is what I have now. I have an open trailer but in the future can buy a closed trailer.
How do I get my first jobs ?
Do you want to market to Plumber’s and insurance agents.
Re: your first job.. that depends on what you do already and where you are on your journey.
Do you already know HOW to dry a property?
Some people don't have gear or training... I'd need to assume that you already know how and have or can get some gear for the job
As to HOW do you get your first job... that depends. If you already have a roofing company your first job may come from a leaking chimney cap or something.
I would want to know more about you and your company first.
You can text me at 615-685-2128 and we can learn more
Hi looking to get certified in Georgia. What company would you recommend.
Reets Drying Academy
Are you starting a restoration company?
Can you make a video on how to price your jobs ?
sure. Water mit?
How to submit bill to insurance company
We have a process we use called the ClaimControl Method. Doing insurance work can be tricky. It is very profitable if done properly but a NIGHTMARE if you don't know what you are doing.
Do you already do water mitigation work? Or, are you looking to get into it?
My answer will vary based on where you are along your journey
Can you share your line items you use to maximize your invoices?
Are you doing mit or recon?
Program work or retail work?
@@TheRestorationContractor I'm doing both mit and recon. I do retail work
Program work please!
Mit work only.
Hello Im in FL. Do i need a special certification or training to begin?
Check with your local government regarding starting a business. They can help you with LOCAL requirements.
From there you will want to check with your STATE for their requirements.
Each state is different.
Need Help Growing Shane . PLEASE HELP
Text me: 615-685-2128
How do I get Started in Florida?
Are you already based in Florida or are you chasing hurricane work?
These are different paths in the business.
If you want storm work, go there and work as a subcontractor or partner up with other restoration companies there to learn the ropes... but be careful who you are learning from...
you don't want to pick up bad habits or learn from an idiot (both are possible)
Verbose
how so
Hardest thing is getting more jobs in areas with lots of restoration competition. We are based in N.Y but the sales part is definitely the hardest
Getting them in the door is by far the most important thing for your business.
We want to make sure that you have a solid repeatable way of acquiring jobs.
How are you getting jobs currently?
