Home-service contractors in Anchorage, AK

Other home service is Anchorage's largest trade, and three of every five records this site holds here sit in it. It holds more than three times as many records as flooring, the next largest.

In order, Anchorage's four largest trades are other home service, flooring, landscaping and HVAC. Other home service alone reaches half of every record on this page.

All eleven trades carry at least one record in Anchorage. The smallest of them here is pool.

Anchorage's three smallest trades are pool, pest control and painting. Between them they still hold a workable share of the metro.

Pest control and pool all fall below the record floor a trade page has to clear in Anchorage, so those 2 are answered on this page instead. Their counts in the table are unchanged.

Per resident, Anchorage sits close to the Alaska rate, so the counts here read as ordinary for the state.

Flooring takes a larger share of Anchorage than of Alaska, which is the clearest way this metro's mix departs from its state's.

Even Anchorage's thinnest trade against Alaska, HVAC, sits close to the state share.

Read per resident, the top of the table does not move: other home service, flooring and landscaping are Anchorage's three densest trades, and painting its thinnest.

No Anchorage trade carries a measured licensed share, so every row of that column reads as not published rather than as zero.

A median hourly wage is published for plumbing, HVAC, electrical and roofing in Anchorage. Of those, plumbing pays the most and roofing the least.

Cleaning, flooring, landscaping, other home service, painting, pest control and pool carry no wage figure for Anchorage, so those rows are blank rather than filled from a neighbouring occupation.

Electrical carries Anchorage's largest published employment count: the occupational series counts 930 workers across the metro, and this site publishes 95 electrical records here. The two count different things, one an occupation across every employer and the other the businesses on this site, so they stand side by side rather than one against the other. Plumbing, HVAC and roofing follow it.

Anchorage's franchise-brand and corporate-owned records are close to even. The franchised ones concentrate in flooring and the corporate-owned ones in cleaning.
