In this episode of Restoration Pros Unplugged, host Clinton James sits down with Nathan Dubien, the owner of HydroDry Restoration, whose remarkable story is both inspiring and instructive for restoration professionals across the country.
Nathan spent over eight years as an independent insurance adjuster, traveling coast to coast and gaining a deep understanding of claims, property damage, and carrier dynamics. But when it was time to settle down and start a family, Nathan made a bold pivot—launching HydroDry Restoration in November of last year.
Fast forward just a few short months, and HydroDry has already hit its first six-figure revenue month. Backed by smart strategies and a partnership with Water Restoration Marketing, Nathan shares how he quickly scaled his business and why he's now expanding into rebuild services to offer full-service restoration solutions.
This episode dives into:
- How Nathan leveraged his adjuster experience to gain an edge as a restoration business owner
- The steps he took to launch quickly and grow fast in a competitive market
- What it took to reach a six-figure month in under a year
- Why adding rebuild is a strategic move for long-term success
- Advice for other professionals considering the leap into restoration
Whether you're just getting started or looking for insights to scale, Nathan’s story delivers practical takeaways and a dose of motivation
