Highly Trained Restoration Specialists
It was Benjamin Franklin who said, “Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.”
He's speaking to training and seems to be saying, “Skill is developed when we take a comprehensive approach.” Learning isn’t simply an instruction, or a book, or a set of guidelines to follow, skill is mentoring, example, investment and study. Benjamin Franklin understood this and so do we.
Our SERVPRO team is trained, but not just trained, highly trained. Our technicians attend classes on advanced techniques and pursue certifications from the IICRC in disaster restoration topics. We also mentor from within, ensuring that our team is learned and learning.
We focus on training and skill because we realize that at every job our team tackles our name is on the line. It’s our aim to be the best and most trained in the industry and we work hard to maintain that standard with all our employees.
