    Disaster Podcaster | S5:E10 Are We In The Claims Game? with Alex Duta

    Too many restoration contractors have been told they’re part of the insurance industry. That’s a lie that keeps you broke and stuck. In this episode, Toby has a conversation with the CEO and founder of Albiware: Alex Duta. They dive deep into how the industry is made up of contractors, not claims specialists. We are part of the claims process, not the claims industry. The minute you embrace that distinction, everything changes. In this video, you’ll learn: 🔹Why restorers lose money by acting like insurance middlemen 🔹The difference between the claims process vs. the claims industry 🔹How plumbers and other trades bill for cost incurred — and why you should too 🔹Practical steps to collect deposits, secure draws, and stop waiting on carrier approval 🔹How to finish jobs, collect checks, and take back control as a Restopreneur™️ Contrary to the loudest voices in the industry right now, this is how the most successful independent restoration companies are operating right now. Stop giving away your leverage to carriers. Start leading your business like a contractor who gets paid. 🚨 Are you ready to stop waiting for carriers and start getting paid faster? Join our 2-Day Client Onboarding Class and learn how to take control of the client journey, protect your margins, and build independence. 👉 https://www.restorationadvisers.com/finish-jobs-collect-checks 🎧 Subscribe and listen to more at Disasterpodcaster.com Join Restoration Business Academy: https://www.restorationadvisers.com/RBA-Academy

    Disaster Podcaster | S5:E9 The Independent Restorer Playbook with Russ Harlow

    Stop Playing Their Game | Disaster Podcaster What happens when carriers shift the burden of documentation, dictate pricing, and leave restorers waiting 90 days or more to get paid? In this episode of Disaster Podcaster, Toby sits down with Russ Harlow, owner of Reliable Remediation and an outspoken voice for independent restorers. Russ has written powerfully about the gap between RIA rhetoric and the daily reality of contractors and, more importantly, he’s implemented a playbook like the Client Onboarding program from Restoration Advisers for how restorers can stop playing the carrier’s game and take back financial control. From contracts and deposits to abandoning Xactimate, Russ shares the practical steps his company has taken to restore independence, cash flow, and dignity in the restoration profession. This isn’t about griping. It’s about building businesses that serve clients first and showing that independence isn’t just possible, it’s necessary. If you’ve ever felt like an unpaid data-entry clerk for the insurance industry, this conversation is for you. 🚨 Are you ready to stop waiting for carriers and start getting paid faster?
