Installed cost in Washington lands within about a percentage point of the national average for this trade. That figure is not a cost-of-living index — it is built from Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data for the Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV metro area, weighted by the roughly **22%** of a roof replacement job that is labor rather than material. Local trade wages sit about **6% above** the national figure, but the installed price moves less than that, because material ships at national prices no matter where you live. This is why a quote from a high-wage metro is rarely as far above the national average as people expect — and why a suspiciously cheap quote in an expensive market is worth a second look.
