If you’re a restoration contractor in Florida and you’re not paying attention to industry advocacy, you may be leaving your business exposed.
In this episode of The Restoration Rundown, I sit down with Richie Kidwell to break down the role of the Restoration Association of Florida (RAF) and why it matters more than most contractors realize.
We cover who Richie is, how he got involved in advocating for restoration companies, and what RAF is actually doing behind the scenes to protect contractors and influence the future of the industry.
In This Episode We Cover:
• What the Restoration Association of Florida actually does
• Why organizations like RAF exist in the first place
• How legislation and policy decisions impact restoration businesses
• Why staying uninvolved can put your business at risk
• How to get involved and stay informed
