About Andrew
After 28 years running a manufacturing company, I started helping restoration owners compete online.
I am not an agency. I am an operator. Same page you are on — just farther down the road in one lane.

What I build on
- NOAA — storm & peril data
- Texas Dept. of Insurance — carrier filings
- TX Ins. Code Ch. 707 — deductible payment law
- Google Search Central — structured data specs
- Schema.org — LocalBusiness / FAQPage
For 28 years I designed welded racks and safety platforms for railroads, power plants, and refineries. Blue SteelCo still ships today. I built that company with my hands.
Then I started looking at how AI tools answer questions about local businesses.
Homeowners can now ask ChatGPT who to call. An independent restoration owner should know what those tools can and cannot read about their company.
I spent the last year learning how to fix that. Structured data that machines understand. Content written to answer the questions buyers ask. Experimental tools that AI agents can call. And a deterministic scorecard that any owner can run in two minutes, free.
Bodyne works in Texas restoration only. DFW and Houston first. When a homeowner picks the restoration company, they pick from what they can find.
If you are running a $2–$5M restoration company, you built it with your hands too. I am the operator on the other side of the phone.
“You’re a manufacturing guy — why should a restoration owner trust you?”
Fair question. Let me answer it directly.
I have never stood in a flooded basement at 2 a.m. I cannot price a Category 3 water job from memory. I have never argued IICRC drying protocols on a ServPro franchise Facebook group. You know that world. I do not.
What I bring is 28 years of running an owner-operator business in a niche B2B market — steel, chemical, rail, fire compliance. Blue SteelCo still ships today.
In my view, restoration is the same game as fire-rack manufacturing: an owner-operator trying to stay visible against larger national brands. The vocabulary changes. The levers do not.
What I bring to a restoration owner:
- ✓ The SMB visibility operating system, same one I used on Blue SteelCo — translated into restoration vocabulary.
- ✓ Pattern recognition across owner-operator psychology. I have been the overworked owner.
- ✓ Research scouts that pull restoration industry shifts, PE moves, insurance carrier policy changes, and metro-level weather demand signals.
- ✓ Founder-to-founder directness. When a rack ships late at Blue SteelCo, a buyer calls me. Not a brand team. Same arrangement with you.
What I do not bring — and will not pretend to:
- — IICRC category knowledge. You know this. I do not.
- — Adjuster negotiation chops. You know this. I do not.
- — Xactimate supplement game. You know this. I do not.
That is the split. You bring the restoration expertise. I build the machine. Neither of us works without the other. If that trade is one you want to make, the Inspection is $1,500. If it is not, I will respect your time and we will not waste a call.
“Decades of insight. Delivered at machine speed.”
The decades are real operating experience. The machine speed is a deterministic scanner, scorer, and narrator that produces a report in minutes.
Let me tell you about Oliver Evans.
Oliver Evans converted a flour mill into a fully automated prototype by 1787–88, and in 1790 George Washington saw his system at work and had it installed at Mount Vernon the next year (source). Grain went in, flour came out, with far fewer hands. Evans did earn considerable wealth from patent license fees after 1800, but his last years were consumed by lawsuits over those patents.
I spent 28 years on a shop floor. Efficiency is not ownership. The AI everyone is selling you improves efficiency. On its own it does not give you the customer.
The goal is a business that AI tools can read accurately, with you keeping the call. That is the only thing I build.
