Typical roofing, siding, window and gutter prices across 8 metros we serve, localized from national baselines by each metro's local labor cost. Free to use and cite.
We start from a national typical cost range for each project, then scale the labor portion (about 45 percent of a typical job) by how each metro's average wage compares to the national average. Materials stay at the national level and local labor tracks local wages. Wage levels come from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics QCEW program (national average about $1,400 per week). The local cost index column is that wage ratio: 1.00 is the national average, below 1.00 is lower cost, above is higher. These are typical ranges for planning, not quotes. Freedom Exteriors installs every job with our own licensed, insured crews, so for a real number the best step is a free on site estimate.
Typical cost for a standard project in each metro, with the full low to high range beneath each figure.
