Home-service contractors in Lancaster, PA

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

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

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

Every trade in Lancaster 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, Lancaster carries more home-service records than Pennsylvania as a whole, across all eleven trades summed together.

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

HVAC is thinner in Lancaster 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 roofing are Lancaster's three densest trades, and pool its thinnest.

No Lancaster 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 Lancaster, so no churn figure appears here rather than a zero standing in for one.

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

Electrical carries Lancaster's largest published employment count: the occupational series counts 1,220 workers across the metro, and this site publishes 108 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 Lancaster records that are not independent, franchise brands outnumber corporate-owned locations and concentrate in pest control; the heaviest corporate-owned trade here is pest control.

Within Lancaster, painting and roofing are the most independently held trades and pest control the least.

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