The Benefits of Restoration Affiliates

In the competitive landscape of restoration services, being part of Restoration Affiliates (RA) provides numerous advantages that enhance our capabilities and enable us to better serve our clients. Here’s a closer look at how being a member of RA transforms our operations and addresses customer needs:

Expanding Our Reach and Capacity

One of the primary concerns customers have is whether we can match the size, scope, and reach of national competitors. As the largest cleaning and restoration company in St. Louis, Woodard already out matches our national competitors with the most equipment, crews, and trucks located right here in St. Louis. Through our partnership with RA, we can quickly expand on this. RA’s extensive network of partners allows us to tap into resources and expertise that significantly bolster our capacity, enabling us to compete effectively on a national scale, especially in times of demand.

Sharing Knowledge and Best Practices

RA partners are an invaluable resource for exchanging information and best practices. This collaborative environment ensures that we stay at the forefront of industry developments, continuously improving our services. By learning from the experiences and insights of other professionals, we can implement the most effective strategies and technologies in our operations.

Enhancing Disaster Recovery with RA’s RAP Program

RA’s Ready Action Plan (RAP) program is a powerful tool in our disaster recovery arsenal. It serves as an excellent conversation starter with customers and prospects, showcasing our preparedness and proactive approach to handling emergencies. The RAP program ensures that we are ready to respond swiftly and efficiently, minimizing downtime and damage for our clients.

Mutual Support During Surges

One of the standout benefits from being a member of RA is the mutual support among partners during surge events. When demand spikes due to large-scale incidents, RA partners mobilize to assist each other. This collaborative effort not only helps us better serve our local community but also opens revenue opportunities by participating in recovery efforts in other markets.

Access to Top Estimators

RA provides opportunities to meet and collaborate with some of the best estimators across the country. This interaction enhances the skills of our Woodard estimating team, ensuring we deliver precise and competitive estimates. The continuous exchange of knowledge with top professionals sharpens our expertise and keeps us ahead in the industry.

Exclusive Discounts and Savings

Membership in RA comes with significant financial benefits, including discounts on essential tools and services. For instance, we receive reduced rates on Xactimate licenses, Herc Rentals, and Sunbelt Rentals. These savings allow us to invest more in our operations and pass on the benefits to our clients.

Building Valuable Industry Relationships

The relationships forged within the industry through RA have been extremely beneficial. It’s fascinating to observe the geographic variations in industry trends. These connections provide valuable insights and help us adapt to changes more effectively, ensuring we remain competitive and responsive to market dynamics.

National Coverage and Local Support

Partnering with RA enables us to offer national coverage, ensuring we can support clients beyond the St. Louis area. This expanded reach allows us to maintain strong relationships with our clients, regardless of their location, and provide consistent, high-quality service wherever needed.

Our affiliation with RA is a cornerstone of our strategy to enhance service quality, expand our reach, and stay competitive in the restoration industry. By leveraging RA partners’ collective knowledge, resources, and support, we can deliver superior results for our clients and continuously improve our capabilities. This partnership is not just about business growth; it’s about building a resilient, knowledgeable, and collaborative network dedicated to excellence in restoration services.
