What roofers earn in Connecticut
Connecticut's roofers earn a median $29.84 an hour, above the US median of $26.65. That ranks 8 of 50 states, among the ten best-paid states for the trade. Applied to the labor share of a 2,000 sq ft roof, that adds about $540 to the national midpoint.
The index is statewide. Wages inside Connecticut differ by metro area, and a contractor's price also depends on overhead, insurance, travel and how busy the season is, none of which a wage median captures. Town pages below use the wage area of their own county instead.
