In Nevada, roofers — the core trade for roofing work — earn a mean wage of $27.62/hr ($57,460 per year) in the 2025 BLS OEWS release. That is about even with the national average (national mean $58,140 per year). Nevada employs about 2,120 roofers statewide. Related trades that price into a typical roofing job include construction laborers ($54,030/yr), first-line supervisors of construction trades ($90,360/yr). Because labor is the largest variable cost on most roofing projects, these published state wage levels are the biggest single reason roofing costs differ between Nevada and other states. Every figure here is a mean value published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and is refreshed automatically when BLS releases new OEWS data.

Across the trades that touch a typical roofing job in Nevada, BLS reports mean wages of roofers at $57,460 per year ($27.62/hr); construction laborers at $54,030 per year ($25.98/hr); first-line supervisors of construction trades at $90,360 per year ($43.44/hr). The spread between first-line supervisors of construction trades ($90,360) and construction laborers ($54,030) reflects differences in skill, certification, and supervisory responsibility on Nevada job sites, and it is why a detailed, line-item estimate beats a single blended rate when you are budgeting roofing work.

Half of Nevada roofers earn less than the median of $51,090 per year — below the $57,460 mean, which a smaller number of higher earners pulls upward. For budgeting, the median is often the more realistic figure for routine roofing crews. BLS counts roughly 2,120 roofers, 11,890 construction laborers, 9,680 first-line supervisors of construction trades employed across Nevada, a measure of how deep the local roofing-trade labor pool is and how much competition for crews you can expect when scheduling work.

When you budget a roofing job in Nevada, treat these BLS wage levels as the labor-rate floor: a crew's billed rate adds overhead, insurance, equipment, and margin on top of the $27.62/hr mean wage shown above. Because Nevada's roofers wages sit about even with the national average, a roofing quote that comes in far below these published rates is worth a second look — labor that cheap usually signals a different scope, materials, or crew experience. Use the calculator on this page to combine these Nevada labor rates with your project's material quantities for a complete estimate.
