Summary
My business partner and I started up an exterior renovation company, A.I. Renovations Inc. in 2014. We started as sub-contractors, primarily installing eavestrough. As the years went on, we got into roofing, siding, framing, window and door installation and more. Through word of mouth, we garnered our own contracts and hired other sub-contractors to assist us on bigger projects.
I am currently transitioning out of the field and into the office, and believe an NCSO designation would help improve my status in the construction industry.
