New Hampshire Roofing Labor Costs — Verified from BLS OEWS (2025)
Every figure on this page is a published U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics value. Last verified 2026-06-23.
In New Hampshire, roofers — the core trade for roofing work — earn a mean wage of $30.69/hr ($63,820 per year) in the 2025 BLS OEWS release. That is 10% above the national average (national mean $58,140 per year). New Hampshire employs about 270 roofers statewide. Related trades that price into a typical roofing job include construction laborers ($51,730/yr), first-line supervisors of construction trades ($86,940/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 New Hampshire 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 New Hampshire, BLS reports mean wages of roofers at $63,820 per year ($30.69/hr); construction laborers at $51,730 per year ($24.87/hr); first-line supervisors of construction trades at $86,940 per year ($41.80/hr). The spread between first-line supervisors of construction trades ($86,940) and construction laborers ($51,730) reflects differences in skill, certification, and supervisory responsibility on New Hampshire job sites, and it is why a detailed, line-item estimate beats a single blended rate when you are budgeting roofing work.
Half of New Hampshire roofers earn less than the median of $59,830 per year — below the $63,820 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 270 roofers, 4,330 construction laborers, 3,590 first-line supervisors of construction trades employed across New Hampshire, 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 New Hampshire, 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 $30.69/hr mean wage shown above. Because New Hampshire's roofers wages sit 10% above 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 New Hampshire labor rates with your project's material quantities for a complete estimate.
