Description
Glaziers, tile setters, insulation workers, sheet metal workers, pile drivers-the specialized construction trades where niche expertise commands premium wages. Apprenticeship requirements, union strongholds, salary ranges ($45k–$90k+), and the specific specializations where labor shortages mean experienced workers name their price. Less glamorous than general contracting. Often more profitable.
