What 23 Owensboro Google Maps Listings Show About HVAC, Plumbing, and Roofing (2026 Study)
In September 2026, we reviewed the top Google Maps results for HVAC, plumbing, and roofing searches in Owensboro, KY. Compared with nearby markets, Owensboro is more open: review counts are lower, few companies are listed as open 24 hours, and roofing in particular has room for new leaders.
How did we run this study?
We searched Google Maps on September 29, 2026 for “hvac contractor Owensboro, KY,” “plumber Owensboro, KY,” and “roofing contractor Owensboro, KY.” We recorded rating, review count, website link, and 24-hour status for each business in the first set of results, removing duplicates and big-box stores.
- It’s a snapshot. Results change daily and depend on the searcher’s location.
- We searched remotely, not from an Owensboro location.
- Plumbing and roofing samples are small (6 and 5 listings), so treat those numbers as directional.
- We report patterns, not rankings of individual businesses.
