Mastering Window Treatment Installation
Did you know that you could earn a six-figure salary installing window treatments? Me neither...
The window covering industry is facing a MASSIVE shortage of qualified professional installers across the country. Dealers 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".
With almost two decades in the industry and more than 700+ 5-star reviews under my belt, I will teach you the lingo, the tools, and the techniques to help you enter the field with confidence and with no time to waste.
