Many people during this economic downturn have lost their employment, or are earning less. Meanwhile bills still keep coming and inflation is taking larger parts of that income. That lost purchasing power needs to be replaced, and one way to do that is to start a sash window repair company for a true recession proof career.

The bursting of the housing bubble, increasing government spending, bailouts of companies, these have been the headlines the past few years. Companies going out of business, downsizing, or decreasing pay scales, this is what many employees have experienced. Some have found security and enjoyment in their work, through leaving the rat race and starting their own business.

Finding a niche in your community is the key. By becoming a specialist, an expert, in sash windows you will be providing a service people will need in good times and bad.

They may not be installed so much lately, but many older houses have them. They are those old style windows with two panels of glass panes that slide up and down in tracks built into the side jambs. Many people do not even know how the work because they have never seen one functioning as intended.

The top panel will slide down creating an opening for the hotter air near the ceiling to escape outside, this creates a vacuum in the house. Cooler, fresh air is then sucked into the house through the raised bottom panel. This ingenious system gives superior air circulation, and it functions automatically, without resorting to any other air movers that consume energy unnecessarily.

Several problems can arise over time with the system mechanisms. If they are not corrected the system cannot work as intended. Weights hanging inside the frame balance the weight of the panel. If the chains or cords they are suspended from are frayed or broken, the pulleys they run over will not turn, or compression weatherstripping no longer does it's job, panels will not stay where desired, and is often nailed or propped.

When the frame's wood is no longer of it's original shape and form, it will stop sliding. Wind can then enter the house through cracks or gaps.

This need creates the perfect opportunity to start a sash window repair company for a true recession proof career. Someone with the skill, knowledge, and patience to repair these units should do well.
