About
A Bit Of History
17 years ago I was a chef at the Sundance Mexican Restaurant in Red River, New Mexico. The carpets were dirty and needed to be cleaned but I couldn’t find anyone locally to do it.
I rented a portable carpet machine and got to work. My banker saw me and asked if I would do the bank also. Others followed and pretty soon I was cleaning the whole town!
I developed a passion for the work and liked meeting so many different people that I decided to make it my full time occupation.
Then Came The Frozen Pipes
Before long there were homes and businesses in the area that were flooding from frozen pipes that had burst. That’s when I went to school and became certified in water damage restoration … studying drying techniques and realizing there was a lot more to this than simply sucking up some water.
Mold Allergies, Sickness, or Poisoning
Whatever you want to call it … my wife got it! The house we were living in had hidden mold behind the walls and attic and my wife was getting very sick. This was back in early 2000 before mold was “in the news” like it is today.
I went to the best mold remediation school in the nation and became a certified mold specialist. My first hand experience with mold and the health issues that it can cause has made me somewhat of a crusader, but not an alarmist.
There is still a lot we don’t know about the hazards of mold contamination and I am constantly updating my education on the subject.
The Better Business Bureau of Southern Colorado
AmeriDri carries an A+ rating with the local BBB of Southern Colorado but that’s not enough for me. I’m not happy if you’re not happy. Listen to what just a few of my customers have to say about their experience with me and AmeriDri.
Nationally Recognized Certifications vs. Internet Diploma Mill
I’m all for continuing education and training; however … there is no substitute for actually going into hundreds of homes and doing a great job to the satisfaction of the customer and the insurance company.
I am listing here some of my certifications and licenses so that you can see where a small part of my training has come from. There is also a video that explains the difference between a proper certifying body and one that is simply an online cheap substitute.
If you have any questions about my credentials don’t hesitate to call me.
