About 3 months ago I received a water damage referal from someone on this board. He asked that I not publish that he gave me the job for fear of backlash.
True to my word, I won't call him out. My crews took great care of the customer. Covered their deductible, billed the insurance company the remainder.
The cleaner that referred it even called me to thank me for taking such good care of his relative.
Don't be afraid to send us jobs even if you have to do it on the DL as to prevent backlash from you "pseudo friends".
