Learn all about estimating mistakes, pros and cons of certain options and the view from the other side with Episode 062 of Restoration Domination where our special guest Mario Rios with Claim Preparation Experts joins our Host Rico Garcia Jr to discuss all of that and more!

Biggest Takeaways:

• You need to be able to keep thorough enough documentation that you can justify everything in a deposition if ever necessary
• Treat all jobs exactly the same when it comes to documentation and procedure, you never know if a cash job will turn into a claim down the line.

• The money is in all of the little things that you may not have thought of but that genuinely is or needs to be done
