Other installation opportunities?

[tnedutsatu]

Greetings,

I would like to thank those in advance for taking time out of their life and replying to this thread. The information posted in this forum is so greatly appreciated. Right now, I am an installer for the Dallas / Ft. Worth area that is currently on leave. After reading many postings, it seems doing high-end installs and commercial work is the way to go. Currently, there is speculation that I may not be able to work in-house for the local HSP or with any subcontractors of the local HSP. So my question is:

What are other ways that installers can find work (residential, commercial, high-end residential) without going the in-house or subcontractor (for local HSP) route? If permitted, any specific contact information would be welcomed.

Thanks,

Tnedutsatu

There's a *small* chance you might find a custom installer via Craigslist's Help Wanted, but more than likely, you'll need to track them down via ads and go to them directly. Check the phone book, Craigslist, "pennysavers", and anywhere else they might advertise. Those places generally don't have a high turnover, but you might get lucky or find someone who is trying to expand.

Look for places that do flat-screen TV hangs and surround-sound systems, not just satelite guys.

But he is very serious, and doing what he told you WILL get you some work.
