What's different in Pennsylvania

- Older housing stock often has multiple shingle layers or plank decking that needs replacement, which adds to tear-off costs.
- Labor costs are close to the national average.
How the Pennsylvania figure is calculated
Labor is roughly 55% of an installed roof replacement job. The median wage for roofers in Pennsylvania is $55,710 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 0% above-national difference to the labor share only, which moves the whole installed range by about 0% up. Materials are priced nationally, since they vary far less by state than labor does. Prices inside Pennsylvania still vary by metro area and by contractor. Read the full method.
