Overview

You’ll work directly with the owner to help build one of the fastest-growing restoration companies in the region. You’ll have the ability to influence marketing strategies, referral programs, and business development initiatives instead of simply following a corporate script.

Our reputation is built on responsiveness, transparency, and doing the right thing every time.

This is a 1099, commission-only opportunity for someone who wants flexibility, uncapped earning potential, and the ability to build a long-term book of business.

• Build and maintain relationships with:
  • Property management companies
  • Apartment communities / HOAs
  • Commercial facilities
• Introduce our company and position us as a reliable, go-to vendor
• Stay in consistent contact with partners and remain top-of-mind

• Mold Remediation
• Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration

Example

A $40,000 water mitigation job = $4,000 earned

• Self-motivated individuals who prefer flexibility over a fixed salary
• People comfortable working independently and building relationships in the field

• Experience in restoration, construction, property management, or B2B services
• Real estate agents working with investors or distressed properties
• Vendor-side reps (janitorial, HVAC, security, etc.) calling on similar clients

Important Notes

• This is a 1099 independent contractor role (not W-2 employment)
• You control your schedule and how you generate business
• Income is performance-based and is not guaranteed; it may take 30–60 days to ramp
• We do not pay for referrals or engage in any form of kickbacks—business is earned through service and relationships

Why This Opportunity

• High-ticket services = strong earnings per deal
