I know there's a few of you on the boards that started out just CC, and got into WD. In my situation, we've been helping out three big restorers in the area for the last couple years, and I'm tired of the last minute phone calls (I need 20k square feet cleaned, um tonight), the getting to jobs only to have them not be ready for us, etc. I figure based on the average minor wd job ($2500), I would only have to do about 20 a year to make up for the work I have now that I don't really want. I'm not looking into any kind of large loss, or CAT type stuff, just residential and maybe very light comm., anything bigger would get referred to one of the big boys we work for now. So for those who have made the leap...
-What kind of training did you get
-How much and what type of equipment is necc to start.
-Market to past custys only or start hitting up ins. offices?
-Sub out the rebuilds, do them yourself or stop after the mitigation and collect the check?
-How difficult is it to learn exactimate or do I need to take a class on that too?
Thanks a ton and if theirs any other info you can offer I'd appreciate it! This is something I'm looking at doing gradually over the next 12-18 months, I want to plan as much as possible.
