How we worked this out
We start with the national range from our roof replacement guide. About 60 percent of this job is labor, so we move that share by the ratio of local to national roofer wages, and leave the parts and materials share where it is. The wage data is the US Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, May 2025 release, pulled 2026-09-22. It updates every May, and so does this page.
A local quote can still land outside this range. Access, permits, the age of the house and how busy contractors are all move the price. Get two or three quotes and use this as your check.
