Home-service contractors in Mobile, AL

Other home service is Mobile's largest trade, and more than half of every record this site holds here sits in it. It holds more than three times as many records as HVAC, the next largest.

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

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

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

Every trade in Mobile clears the record floor a trade page has to meet, so each has a page of its own. That is a statement about how thick this metro's thinnest trade is.

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

Against Alabama's own mix, Mobile is heaviest in pool: that trade takes a far larger share of this metro than of the state.

Electrical is thinner in Mobile than across Alabama, the mirror of the lean above.

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

No Mobile 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 electrical, plumbing, HVAC and roofing in Mobile. Of those, electrical pays the most and roofing the least.

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

Electrical carries Mobile's largest published employment count: the occupational series counts 1,360 workers across the metro, and this site publishes 36 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.

Of the Mobile records that are not independent, corporate-owned locations outnumber franchise brands and concentrate in pest control; the most franchised trade here is flooring.

Within Mobile, electrical and HVAC are the most independently held trades and pest control the least.
