Sean Scott might be a familiar name, as he has been a valued contributor to R&R since at least 2018. Scott has over 43 years of experience in the restoration and construction industry, and has published numerous books, papers and articles including Secrets of The Insurance Game and The Red Guide to Recovery Resource Handbook for Disaster Survivors. 

Restoration dates back to 1937 in Scott’s family and it is how he found his way to the industry. His father was a fire restoration contractor in Chicago in the 30s, working with the fire chief to rebuild structures damaged by fire. There were no respirators and asbestos was rampant. There was also a higher level of craftsmanship required in rebuilding considering the vast collection of Victorian homes, full of detailed woodwork that is not as common today.
