Did you know that you could make a living installing window treatments? Me neither until I learned this...
The window covering industry is facing a MASSIVE shortage of qualified professional installers across the country. Dealers and workrooms are desperate and hungry for skilled installers.
A common misconception is that there is no real skill required to install window treatments and therefore anyone can put on a tool belt and call themselves "a professional installer".
It is so much more than simply putting a couple of screws in the wall. Installing requires finesse, mathematical skills, excellent communication, customer service abilities to handle pressure, and much more.
As window treatments become more complex with motorization and the ability to tie into home automation systems, the need for skilled installers is even more in demand.
