Tradespeople (or skilled trades workers) are professionals who specialize in hands-on, technical work in fields such as construction, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, welding, and more. They are highly trained in their craft and play a vital role in building, maintaining, and improving infrastructure and properties.
Contractors are individuals or companies hired to perform specific jobs, often within the skilled trades. A general contractor oversees entire projects—like home renovations or commercial builds—while specialty contractors focus on specific tasks such as roofing, plumbing, electrical work, or painting.
