Labor. Florida roofers earn a median $22.88/hr (BLS OEWS, May 2025) against a national median of $26.65/hr. Our Florida rates adjust the national dataset by that difference, applied to the labor share of the job.
Weather and code. Hurricane code is the cost story: enhanced fastening, secondary water barriers, and wind mitigation requirements.
Licensing. Florida roofers must be state certified or registered roofing contractors — verify the license.
The invisible stuff. Decking replacement ($65–$95 per sheet, installed) and extra shingle layers are only fully countable after tear-off — which is why every number on this page is a range, and why our satellite estimate shows its imagery date.
