Home-service contractors in Salem, OR

Other home service is Salem'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, Salem's four largest trades are other home service, landscaping, flooring and painting. Other home service alone reaches half of every record on this page.

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

HVAC is thinner in Salem than across Oregon, the mirror of the lean above.

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

No Salem 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 Salem. 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 Salem, so those rows are blank rather than filled from a neighbouring occupation.

Electrical carries Salem's largest published employment count: the occupational series counts 1,000 workers across the metro, and this site publishes 65 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, roofing and HVAC follow it.
