Over the past 20 years I have been active in the local church. I believe in helping others, and offer my time & services to fire victims without insurance. As a restoration contractor, my staff & I frequently offer our services to those in need.
OVERVIEW OF EXPERIENCE AND COMPANY MISSION
In summation, I have spent the last 42 years working in the fire restoration, claims and construction industries. My first internship was at 17 years old for Statewide Adjusters of Connecticut. By the time of I turned 20 years old, I was a licensed adjuster in the state of Connecticut. At 22, I obtained my California public adjuster’s license. I continued to work as a claims adjuster and/or damage appraiser for over fifteen years. Transitioning into full time fire restoration & reconstruction during the 1990’s. To date, I have appraised over 1,000 property claims, and have restored over 100 homes damaged by fire. After working as a jobsite superintendent for both Kelly Construction & Ron Williams Construction for six years. I opened Insurance Specialty Services, a company dedicated to helping all fire victims recovery from disaster. As a turn-key solution for fire damage, we bring 42 years of damage appraisal and fire restoration experience to the property owner. My staff & I work exclusively for the property owner, as both a consumer advocate and restoration expert. We are dedicated to helping them with all aspects of the insurance claim and rebuilding process.
In 2010, we opened Onsite Fire Damage Solutions. A full service “green friendly” restoration company that provides state of the art (Eco-friendly) methods of restoring fire damaged homes and commercial buildings. Our companies currently serve all of Northern California and Nevada, and remain dedicated to serving the needs of fire survivors.
