Labor. Hawaii roofers earn a median $28.64/hr (BLS OEWS, May 2025) against a national median of $26.65/hr. Our Hawaii rates adjust the national dataset by that difference, applied to the labor share of the job.
Weather and code. Salt air, trade winds, and UV; metal roofing is a popular long-life choice.
Licensing. Hawaii roofing requires a C-42 Roofing contractor 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.
