Transcript
The three most important trades in residential construction. Some of y'all are not gonna like this list. Number three, the painter. At the end of the day, all you really see is paint. It's important that it looks really good. This is one of the hardest trades to actually be very talented at. Number two, tile. Tile is the jewelry and the art of a home. It's next to impossible to touch up if there's a mistake. It's very difficult to be very good at. Good tile work really just seals the deal on a beautiful home. The number one most important trade in residential construction. Finish carpentry. Millwork and cabinetry is the heart and soul of every single home. If your home is lacking character, it's probably lacking a lot of millwork. A good finished carpenter can transform a home way more than any other trade possibly could. Also, a good finished carpenter makes a painter's life very easy.
