Home-service contractors in Erie, PA

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

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

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

One Erie trade, pool, falls below the record floor a trade page has to clear, so it is answered on this page instead. Its count in the table is unchanged.

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

Pest control takes a larger share of Erie than of Pennsylvania, which is the clearest way this metro's mix departs from its state's.

Painting is thinner in Erie than across Pennsylvania, the mirror of the lean above.

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

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

No licence issuance or lapse figure is published for Erie, so no churn figure appears here rather than a zero standing in for one.

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

Electrical carries Erie's largest published employment count: the occupational series counts 420 workers across the metro, and this site publishes 41 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 Erie records that are not independent, corporate-owned locations outnumber franchise brands and concentrate in pest control; the most franchised trade here is flooring.

Within Erie, cleaning and electrical are the most independently held trades and flooring the least.

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

Plumbing is the Erie 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 Erie records first appeared over the last twelve months than were flagged closed, so the file for this metro grew. Cleaning added the largest share of new records and other home service lost the largest share to closed flags.

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

Erie, PA sits inside Pennsylvania alone, so the labour market this page counts and the licensing regime that governs it are the same geography.
