Labor. Ohio roofers earn a median $23.74/hr (BLS OEWS, May 2025) against a national median of $26.65/hr. Our Ohio rates adjust the national dataset by that difference, applied to the labor share of the job.
Weather and code. Freeze-thaw and lake-effect snow in the north; competitive mid-pack pricing.
Licensing. Ohio licenses commercial roofing; residential rules are local — verify registration and insurance.
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.
