Home-service contractors in Gainesville, FL

Other home service is Gainesville'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 landscaping, the next largest.

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

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

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

Every trade in Gainesville 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, Gainesville carries fewer home-service records than Florida as a whole, across all eleven trades summed together.

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

Flooring is thinner in Gainesville than across Florida, the mirror of the lean above.

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

Of the Gainesville trades with a measured licensed share, pool links to an active state licence most often and plumbing least often. That spread measures how well two files join here, not whether either row's businesses hold a licence.

Gainesville has a count of trade-covering licences issued in the last twelve months but no observable lapse count, so the issued figure is published alone rather than turned into a churn rate it cannot support.

Almost every Gainesville record sits inside the state whose licence file its share is computed from, so that share covers nearly the whole metro.

A median hourly wage is published for electrical, HVAC, plumbing and roofing in Gainesville. 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 Gainesville, so those rows are blank rather than filled from a neighbouring occupation.

Electrical carries Gainesville's largest published employment count: the occupational series counts 650 workers across the metro, and this site publishes 49 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 Gainesville records that are not independent, corporate-owned locations outnumber franchise brands and concentrate in roofing; the most franchised trade here is flooring.

Within Gainesville, electrical and plumbing are the most independently held trades and flooring the least.

Almost none of Gainesville's records are waiting on chain review, so the independent, franchise and corporate counts here describe nearly the whole metro. Pool holds what little of that bucket the metro has.

Pest control is the Gainesville trade whose records most often carry no street address, and roofing the one whose records most often do. What a blank street line means is set out on the methodology page.

More Gainesville records first appeared over the last twelve months than were flagged closed, so the file for this metro grew. Pest control added the largest share of new records and painting lost the largest share to closed flags.

Inside this metro area, the city of Gainesville itself differs from the wider metro enough to carry pages of its own.

Gainesville, FL sits inside Florida alone, so the labour market this page counts and the licensing regime that governs it are the same geography.
