I have more than my fair share of scars to prove I learned things the hard way and I am truly lucky to be alive with some of the reckless things I did for $50 when I was starting out in this business. I wasted a lot of years not knowing fair market value or charging enough for all the hours that go into a job. But that won’t be you. You can make good money going to work for any number of local companies and the pay is going up these days, likely no less than $500 - $700 average per day. But selling jobs where you set the terms and controlling prices completely should have you clearing more than a thousand dollars profit in a day, very easily. That is average fair pay for quality installation services but I have cleared almost 2 grand in a day just installing insulated glass units, a thousand in a day building replacement screen kits and $2500 in a day just replacing balances for an entire home before it hit the market, just to name a few. There are so many different ways to make money with windows. Restoration is kind of a different animal but is also going to be touched on during this course. Some decent money in that too if you are really good and it does not require a brake or really even the same set of install skills. Or maybe you would like to install storm doors or entry doors? How about glass block windows? All of these are excellent paying window trades and we will cover the specifics of each one in this course.

Window installation yearly gross pay will rival that of some seriously complicated jobs that take a lot of time school and money to establish a career in. But with a fraction of the time and energy required.
