Home-service contractors in Yakima, WA

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

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

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

One Yakima 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, Yakima carries fewer home-service records than Washington as a whole, across all eleven trades summed together.

Against Washington's own mix, Yakima is heaviest in electrical: that trade takes a far larger share of this metro than of the state.

Painting is thinner in Yakima than across Washington, the mirror of the lean above.

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

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

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

Electrical carries Yakima's largest published employment count: the occupational series counts 390 workers across the metro, and this site publishes 44 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 Yakima records that are not independent, corporate-owned locations outnumber franchise brands and concentrate in other home service; the most franchised trade here is flooring.

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

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

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

No city inside Yakima differs from the metro enough to carry pages of its own, so every record here is answered on the trade pages above.

Yakima, WA sits inside Washington alone, so the labour market this page counts and the licensing regime that governs it are the same geography.
