Home-service contractors in Roanoke, VA

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

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

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

HVAC carries Roanoke's largest published employment count: the occupational series counts 660 workers across the metro, and this site publishes 101 HVAC 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. Electrical, plumbing and roofing follow it.
