More"Consumers know that when they hire an IICRC-certified firm employing certified technicians, they have hired trained professionals who will ensure that work will be completed in accordance with the industry's highest standards," said Ruth Travis, 2nd Vice-chair for IICRC. "The survey simply solidifies the importance of industry-approved certifications."
The survey was conducted by Edge Research, a leading consumer research firm. Results from the entire survey are available at no cost to IICRC-certified firms from the IICRC. Any firm with current IICRC -certified firm status can access the information by going to the IICRC web site and entering the secure registrants section of the site. Specific instructions and passwords have been emailed to all Certified Firms. Companies seeking Certified Firm status can obtain information by contacting the IICRC Headquarters at (360) 693-5675. The survey can be printed as a PDF document from the site at www.iicrc.org.
