In this episode of the Builders Bible podcast, Andrew Hathaway speaks with Joel Duelley,founder and owner of Restoration RX Pro based in Ashland, Kentucky. Joel shares his transition out of corporate America into the restoration industry, leaving a franchise model to build an independent, family-operated business alongside his mother and daughter. He breaks down how Restoration RX Pro delivers emergency water, mold, and lead remediation across a 2-hour tri-state radius (Kentucky, Ohio, and West Virginia), navigates insurance workflows without TPA programs, utilizes LiDAR property sketching tech, and grounds company culture in ethical service and direct local customer access.
