Especially if you are remotely trustworthy and have good people skills. The good tradespeople I know are recommended by everybody else I know and constantly backlogged.

Plumbers, HVAC, Electricians, General Contractors, etc

I'm a house painter, and I'm about a year out from now. It's better than no work, but it's rather insane.

"I'd love to but it will be 8 months or so and I can't imagine you'd want to wait that long".

"Oh no, well wait!".

And the list grows longer.
