My wife's son has learned to do floor tiling but now he wants to get into his own gig. Hes asked me to assist in finding higher and clients for higher returns. How do I go about this?

call up general contractors and tell them you do tiling.

seriously, 99% of tile work is companies building new houses. Unless your kid is dumb and wants to go after the 00.01% of jobs that are rich individuals remodeling an existing house. And those jobs are already taken by mexicans working for a tenth of the price

That's the thing. Housing market in the south is still very hot, however the piece of the pie on very expensive homes are dwindling. Hes still young so its not like we would be asking for a premium price

your wife s son is mixed?

if yes, please send us pictures and videos of your wife s pussy getting stretched by a bbc

well if it helps any rich people don't hire a tile contractor and a plumbing contractor and a painting contractor and an electrical contractor and a HVAC contractor and a carptentry contractor and a cleanup contractor.

they hire a general contractor who handles the whole remodel.

so again, if you want to work for rich people you're subbing for a General who takes half your pay off the top in exchange for having the insurance and advertising. It's just how it works.

Since its friday night, my wife's bvll will be stopping by and you got trips so I will see if it can record
>>62291017
I'd agree to an extent. Some homeowners dont want to wait around however. There is a small market and want to try and get that piece

you and every other tile contractor within 300 miles.

I would suggest becoming a general contractor himself but starting from tile is not the normal way to learn how to build houses. People who set tile pretty much have nowhere to go from there.

>>62290975
the trades are hot right now. Especially like tile and masonry. Go meet contractors and getting the name out there. Relationships in business go a loooong way.

My biggest regret is getting away from plumbing.
>>
the other thing to do is make sure you have a legit business. Buy a business license, buy insurance, get bonded. Set up a business checking account.

then the next step is to buy a BUSINESS landline and internet because it comes with a yellow pages listing. Nobody uses the yellowpages anymore but as soon as you're listed in the yellow pages your name gets put on hundreds of different sites on the internets.

after that some local advertising doesn't hurt, but the Business phone and internet account is going to get you tons of free advertising online as hundreds of companies are competing to list businesses all over and they do it for free.

Triple the price.
I work in home remodeling. So long as you know the basics and have time to do your work, you can do a good job at tiling. better to do one job at triple the price than three jobs at standard price.

Yes. He's very skilled in the trade. He'd be right up there with the best of them.

He very much is. Also a lot of people here are just looking for a quick buck. Learn a trade. Can be useful

Unironically maybe try doing datacenter tiling or something? I know a few tradesmen doing stuff for datacenters and they're making like 3x their usual rate
