I'm new to restoration and taking very deliberate steps in creating a restoration division because I do think it is high risk if for no other reason than the litigious environment in which we live and operate. Right now I'm taking on only small jobs for existing clients. Anything beyond my capability or comfort zone, I call an established firm. When I do, they understand I'm there for the client so I'm able to remain on site, ask questions, and learn by watching what is being done. To be sure, I've learned more than a few things NOT to do.
Education so far includes WRT, carpet cleaning, upholstery, odor, and tile and grout. ASD as soon as I can get it scheduled. Will also be scheduling mold tech and mold supervisor courses next year.
All education is great but nothing beats real-world experience. I have no doubt I'll make mistakes but hope the education helps me avoid a major screw-up while gaining the needed experience. If anyone has some suggestions along this line - gaining more hands on experience - I'm open to your words of wisdom. What I'd really like to know, how far do you go how fast?
