Home-service contractors in Wyoming

Wyoming's largest trade by record count is other home service, and it is dominant rather than merely first: more than a quarter of every home-service record this site holds for Wyoming sits in that one trade, with landscaping the next largest. A concentrated mix like this usually says more about how the source data categorises a business than about how Wyoming homeowners spend.

In order, Wyoming's four largest trades are other home service, landscaping, HVAC and electrical. Other home service alone account for half of every record on this page, which is a narrow base for a statewide figure.

Every one of the eleven trades this site counts carries at least one record in Wyoming, which is not true of every state. The smallest of them here is pool, and a small row is a small row: it is not evidence that Wyoming is short of that trade, only that few businesses in it were categorised that way.

At the other end of the same ordering, Wyoming's three smallest trades are pool, pest control and painting. Between them they still hold a workable share of Wyoming, so most of their metro hub pages clear this site's publish floor and publish.

Measured against the national mix, Wyoming is heaviest in electrical: that trade takes a far larger share of Wyoming's records than it takes of the country's. Climate, housing stock and how a state's own businesses describe themselves all feed that, and this page separates none of them.

At the other end, pest control is far thinner in Wyoming than it is nationally. A trade this far under the national share is usually one the state's businesses file under a different category rather than one that is genuinely absent.

Per resident, Wyoming carries more home-service records than the country does, among the ten densest of the fifty-one this site counts. The margin is real but unremarkable, and it moves with housing age as much as with anything about Wyoming itself.

By raw record count Wyoming is one of the smaller states in this corpus. Small totals move proportionally more between releases, so a change in a Wyoming row is weaker evidence of a change on the ground than the same change in a large state.

Wyoming's split between independent, franchise-brand and corporate-owned records is close to the national one, so the chain mix on this page is typical rather than distinctive.

Fewer of Wyoming's records are missing a street address than the national average, so Wyoming's lists are better addressed than the country's.

Almost none of Wyoming's records are waiting on chain review, so the independent, franchise and corporate counts on this page describe nearly the whole state rather than most of it. Pest control holds what little of the review bucket Wyoming has.

Read per resident rather than by count, the ordering does not change at the top: other home service is both the largest trade in Wyoming and the one with the most records per ten thousand residents, and pest control has the fewest.

Cleaning, electrical, flooring, HVAC, landscaping, plumbing, pool and roofing are the Wyoming trades in which every record is already classified as independent, franchise brand or corporate owned, with none left in review. The other rows on this page carry at least one name the chain rule has not finished with.

Over the last twelve months more Wyoming records first appeared than were flagged closed, so the file for this state grew; pool added the largest share of new records and electrical lost the largest share to closed flags. A record appears when the source learns about a business, which is not the same event as a business opening.

Cleaning, Flooring, Landscaping, Other home service, Painting, Pest control and Pool carry no Bureau of Labor Statistics occupation in the extract loaded here, so those Wyoming rows have no employment or wage series to sit beside them. Every other Wyoming row does, by metropolitan area rather than statewide.

No metropolitan area in the top two hundred by population is named for Wyoming first, so this state owns no metro fact page of its own. Wyoming records still publish: they sit on the profile pages the trade table's counts are built from, and on the hub pages of whichever metro's name leads with a neighbouring state.

Ordered by records per resident, Wyoming sits between Maine above it and Montana below it. Those two are the states this page's per-resident rate is closest to, and they are named because a rank on its own says less than the company it keeps.

Ordered by total records rather than by rate, Wyoming's neighbours are South Dakota and Alaska. A state can sit high on one of these two orderings and low on the other, and reading both is the point of naming them.

Wyoming's franchise-brand and corporate-owned records are close to even in number. The franchised ones concentrate in pest control and the corporate-owned ones in pest control, which is a difference the statewide split above hides.

Within Wyoming, electrical is the most independently held trade and pest control the least. That gap is the reason the statewide independent share is a summary rather than a description: a homeowner hiring in pest control meets a different market from one hiring in electrical.

Plumbing is the Wyoming trade whose records most often carry no street address, and roofing the one whose records most often do. A missing street line usually means the business runs from a home, so the list on a plumbing page in Wyoming is thinner in addresses than a roofing one and no less real for it.

Wyoming is outside the verified-licence layer, so no Wyoming row above carries a licensed share and no Wyoming profile carries a licence fact. The counts are still measured; what is absent is the join between them and a licence file, which is why the licensed-share row reads as not published rather than as zero.

Until that changes, Wyoming Attorney General, Consumer Protection and Antitrust Unit is where a Wyoming licence is checked and Wyoming Attorney General, Consumer Protection and Antitrust Unit is where a Wyoming homeowner takes a dispute. This site takes no complaints about a Wyoming contractor and resolves none.

Taking the largest row on its own: other home service is about as large a part of Wyoming as it is of the country, so Wyoming leads with that trade for the same reason the country does.
