Union, NJ – Patrick Wildridge, Paul Davis Restoration office owner and spokesperson for Paul Davis Restoration’s New Jersey owners group, announced today that the New Jersey restoration company has completed course work and certification in the growing field of home assessment and modification. The course called CHAMP, an abbreviation for Certified in Home Assessment and Modification Professional, is designed to provide contractors with information that will enable them to provide services in the workers compensation home modification market.

According to Wildridge, course attendees must be licensed general contractors in good standing with local and state agencies. Paul Davis Restoration offices from Union & Essex Counties, Central New Jersey, Southern New Jersey, Somerset, Hunterdon and Warren Counties, Ocean County, Monmouth County, Northeast and Morris County were certified in July and now have a better understanding of workers compensation, claims, insurance carriers and other parties involved, physical disabilities, functional abilities, medical necessity, medical terminology, environmental barriers and home assessments for the disabled.

“In order to be designated as a CHAMP certified contractor, attendees must complete the entire two-day training course and pass the online exam. Course designers and facilitators from David Corey Company Inc., conduct a background and reference check and request proof of license and insurance. Some of the coursework included a workers comp and standards overview, common workers comp diagnosis, and communicating with the medical team,” said Wildridge.

“Paul Davis Restoration owners from throughout the state of New Jersey, studied design and construction of ramps, landings and walks, doors and halls, elevators and lifts, and accessible bathrooms and kitchens. The final study session included a round table discussion and instruction on how to utilize the CHAMP certification and services within the workers compensation industry,” he said.

“The Paul Davis Restoration New Jersey owners group was formed in 2003 to respond to customers throughout the state with a high level of service excellence in a variety of specializations. We are constantly looking to expand our services and capabilities,” said Wildridge.

Each Paul Davis office in New Jersey is staffed with technicians who are certified from the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) in water, fire, smoke and mold damage restoration. Office owners are licensed general contractors in the state of New Jersey.

Paul Davis Restoration offices specialize in home, office, kitchen and bath design, as well as mold, fire and water restoration and reconstruction.  Owners have all completed franchise office operations, project management, and field training at Paul Davis Restoration’s National Training Center in Jacksonville, Fl.
