Andrew Adamson did not build Bodyne from a marketing seat. He built a manufacturing company — Blue SteelCo — from a shop floor in 1997 to a national brand shipping welded fire-extinguisher racks and safety platforms across the United States.
Then he watched AI change how buyers find businesses.
Homeowners stopped asking neighbors for a restoration contractor. They started asking ChatGPT. Adjusters stopped flipping through a preferred-vendor list. They started typing the claim into a chatbot. Bodyne exists because that shift leaves independent restoration owners invisible — while PE-backed franchises are already winning the AI search war.
Andrew writes and publishes for restoration owners in Texas first. Dallas. Houston. Fort Worth. Plano. Katy. Sugar Land. Every post here is an operator talking to an operator. No agency jargon. No six-month retainers. Just the work.
