The 2019 Contractor Connection Conference & Expo continues a 20-plus year tradition of being the premier insurance restoration industry event of the year, providing educational, training, and networking opportunities for all attendees.

Almost every day, I see restoration companies posting openings on industry Facebook pages like the Rebels, NORRP, RIA Young Professional Restorers, and others.

BNP Media, parent company to the magazine you’re reading now, annually asks readers in each of its AEC and mechanical system publications to list what they most want to see more of. What consistently tops that list is new technology, which is understandable given how technology can help make projects and the process of completing them easier and more efficient.

NORRP is the National Organization of Restoration and Remediation Professionals. We are an organization founded by restoration professionals (mostly contractors) who are focused on uniting our industry and helping to get all parties on a level playing field.

Wonder Makers Environmental has unveiled a comprehensive program to help cleaning and restoration contractors assist mold sensitized individuals, an approach that involves a full range of services to help prepare contractors to deal with the unique challenges faced by individuals who become reactive to mold exposure.
