The Same Roof, Different State: Up to $5,910 Difference
A typical asphalt-shingle roof replacement ranges from $7,880 in Mississippi to $13,790 in Hawaii. Full 50-state table.
Published 2026-08-21 · Data from the HomeServiceCost engine (BLS OEWS / BEA RPP derived)
price spread for the same roof between Hawaii and Mississippi
Key Findings
01Hawaii roofs cost 75% more
At a 1.40 multiplier, the same $9,850 national-midpoint roof becomes $13,790 — driven by labor rates, disposal fees, and code requirements.
02Mississippi anchors the low end
$7,880 for identical scope makes Mississippi the value floor in our 50-state roof table.
03Wind and code ratings move the number
In hurricane and hail belts, code-required wind-rated shingles and underlayment add real cost — one reason Gulf and Front Range states sit higher than their wage levels alone would predict.

Methodology
- National baseline midpoint for roof replacement ($5,700–14,000) comes from our calculator dataset of 134 services.
- State multipliers derive from BEA regional price parities and BLS OEWS labor data; wind-code premium effects are embedded in Gulf/Front Range calibration.
- Prices are midpoints for a typical asphalt-shingle replacement; material upgrades (metal, tile) scale separately.
