How the New York figure is calculated
Labor is roughly 55% of an installed roof replacement job. The median wage for roofers in New York is $66,020 a year, against a national median of $55,440 (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, May 2025). We apply that 19% above-national difference to the labor share only, which moves the whole installed range by about 10% up. Materials are priced nationally, since they vary far less by state than labor does. Prices inside New York still vary by metro area and by contractor. Read the full method.
