What roofers earn in New Hampshire
New Hampshire's roofers earn a median $28.76 an hour, above the US median of $26.65. That ranks 12 of 50 states, in the upper half of the country. Applied to the labor share of a 2,000 sq ft roof, that adds about $360 to the national midpoint.
The index is statewide. Wages inside New Hampshire differ by metro area, and a contractor's price also depends on overhead, insurance, travel and how busy the season is, none of which a wage median captures. Town pages below use the wage area of their own county instead.
