Analysis
NAICS 8114 is the 2022 industry group for personal and household goods repair and maintenance, part of 811 (Repair and Maintenance). Census lists 58 example activities under it in the official index.
County Business Patterns counts 22,613 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 81,872 people at an average annual payroll of $44,765 per employee (13th percentile of national industries). 80% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which marks it as a small-business industry.
Across its national industries Census lists 58 index entries; typical ones are engine repair, small, air-conditioner, window, repair and maintenance services, aircraft upholstery repair and boot repair shops without retailing new boots.
It splits into 4 more detailed codes. The largest by establishments is 81149 (Other Personal and Household Goods Repair and Maintenance) with 11,482.
Its more detailed codes are 81141 Home and Garden Equipment and Appliance Repair and Maintenance (7,265 establishments), 81142 Reupholstery and Furniture Repair (3,168 establishments), 81143 Footwear and Leather Goods Repair (698 establishments) and 81149 Other Personal and Household Goods Repair and Maintenance (11,482 establishments).
Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments grew 6% and employment rose 12%. The 2018 count used NAICS 2017, so part of a large move can come from codes being redefined rather than from businesses opening or closing.
