Testimonials
Michael & Stephanie Duffy, True North Restoration of Greater St. Louis
What made this former aerospace engineer leave his day job and launch a career in water damage and mold remediation? Simple - business took off so quickly, he didn’t really have a choice.
Why He Chose True North Restoration
“We looked at several concepts, but True North was the only recession-resistant model. People don’t want us, they need us in times of crisis or emergency. And if you look at the numbers, you only need about 20 jobs a month to be profitable.”
Rapid Growth from Day One
“In just four months, we’ve already doubled up from one truck and one employee to two trucks and four full-time staff. We expect to add a third truck next month. Our goal is $1.5M in revenue in year one and $10.5M by year five.”
Low-Cost, High-Margin, Low-Risk
“The business has very low overhead. We’re not rebuilding, we’re removing and restoring, so startup costs stay low. The equipment does the heavy lifting, we can work 24/7, and we get paid daily. It’s low-cost, high-margin, and allows you to earn good money without taking a big risk.”
