Home-service contractors in Wilmington, NC

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

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

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

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

Electrical carries Wilmington's largest published employment count: the occupational series counts 910 workers across the metro, and this site publishes 106 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. HVAC, plumbing and roofing follow it.

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

Within Wilmington, electrical and roofing are the most independently held trades and painting the least.
