Home-service contractors in Madison, WI

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

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

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

Electrical carries Madison's largest published employment count: the occupational series counts 1,760 workers across the metro, and this site publishes 128 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.
