Our Strength in Numbers acting as one will be a cause for concern among those who have created the environment we currently operate in because they can ; in the near the near future they won’t have that leverage.

- Brotherhood Take pride in renewing and uplifting our industry as brothers united to take on pressing issues together and earn our respect back by collectively forcing those out who have been giving us a “black eye” destroying our reputation. It is high time to flush the shit of our industry one by one and send the message that there is a new breed on the horizon and unethical bullshit will not be tolerated from any individual or company.
- Activism- Separated we are weak and have no power against the corporate giants of the insurance companies that continue to delay the process a bit more each year, deny claims in bad faith and crush us with a defense that is tied into special interest groups and lobbyists who stroke our politicians with campaign contributions. We will reign on their parade from every angle by garnering public support to bring their activities to light and by implementing our own strategic onslaught.
- Benefits- As individual companies our costs are greater. When we unify and pull resources together to create programs that provide phenomenal discounts and rewards for everyone we all win. This may include health insurance, tools and equipment, material suppliers, automotive, material manufacturers and various vendors within and outside of our industry who desire to tap into our multi-billion dollar marketplace.
- Financial- By unifying we will level the playing field across the country by region where the disparity in pricing is biased to say the least. We will force fair professional contractor market rates that are designed to first protect the property values and policyholder’s interests by pushing the states to enforce codes that support ethical contracting practices and manufacturer’s warranties, which will increase our profit margins and the quality of work being performed.
- Safety- By increasing the level of quality and consistency we deliver as an industry, our efforts will also spotlight focusing on safety as paramount to increase the quality of life and health of those on the jobsite who work tirelessly to restore the storm damaged properties for our customers by implementing OSHA standards across the board and encouraging company certification.
