This course was created by John and Winnie Melesh. John Melesh has been working in the construction industry for over 30 years. John and Winnie launched Melesh Construction as a new homebuilder in 1984, completing 253 homes in Maryland. In 1989 Melesh began insurance restoration work.
To date, they have completed over 4,500 insurance restoration jobs. Melesh Construction participates in a number of insurance direct repair programs and preferred contractor programs. After mastering this niche of the remodeling business, the Melesh’s developed this course as the most convenient, effective way to allow other contractors to quickly learn how to succeed at insurance restoration work.
John and Winnie also co-hosted “The Disastrous Duo" radio show that aired across the Baltimore, DC, and northern Virginia markets for years. Targeted at homeowners, the show provided useful, practical information about property insurance claims, including ways to reduce risks of damage and what to do and what to expect if an insurance loss occurs.
Active members of the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI), Winnie has also served on NARI's DC metro chapter education committee.
