My son works at an essential business and I'm his driver, so I'm on the road every day. We drive past a home that's being rebuilt after it was destroyed in a fire. While they are still working on it, the work has been very noticeably scaled back -- at any given time there are only one or two vehicles on the premises. They do have a Porta Pottie on the grounds, but it shouldn't be too difficult to disinfect what is essentially a toilet inside a big plastic box.
We had a bit of a scare last night when it looked like our refrigerator might be breaking down -- a serious problem when you're trying to limit yourself to one shopping trip per week. Fortunately, it looks like it just chose the worst possible time to let me know the coils needed cleaning.
I would consider appliance repair businesses, plumbers, electricians, etc., to be essential services in most cases.
