Florida metro-by-metro prices
1 of the 19 metros sit above the statewide midpoint of $2,550, and the top-to-bottom gap is 9%. Each row prices the default size with that metro's own BLS wages and BEA price levels, so the gap between rows is real local variation rather than a flat markup.

When Florida weather lets you install
Season matters for gutters. For each Florida metro below we took NOAA's 1991-2020 monthly normals from the nearest suitable station and counted comfortable months for exterior installation.
Miami has the longest comfortable season of the metros we cover in Florida at 12 months; Punta Gorda has the shortest at 7 (October through April). Rainfall runs from 46 inches a year in Lakeland to 68 inches in Pensacola.
We do not adjust prices by month, because we have no reliable published data on seasonal pricing. Timing is still worth raising when you collect bids.

Florida labor market for gutters
Statewide wages come from BLS's state-level estimates, which blend big cities with small towns and rural areas. 3 trades drive the labor line for this job, and the weighted ratio against the national wage level is 0.86 for Florida.
For sheet metal workers (47-2211, weighted 40%) the local median is $23.87 an hour, which is 20% below the national $29.71. The middle half of them earn between $19.61 and $28.87 an hour. BLS counts 8,040 of them working in the state, 8.1 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 7.7), so the local bench is about average.
For roofers (47-2181, weighted 30%) the local median is $22.88 an hour, which is 14% below the national $26.65. The middle half of them earn between $18.29 and $27.72 an hour. BLS counts 23,550 of them working in the state, 23.7 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 8.7), so the local bench is deeper than average.
Construction laborers (47-2061), 30% of the weighting: a median of $21.17 an hour, 7% below the US median of $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $17.83 and $23.06 an hour. About 87,040 work in the state. That is 87.7 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 70.5 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
A crew paid at the 75th percentile for sheet metal workers ($28.87 an hour) would add about $70 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($19.61) would take off about $60. Use that as a rough guide to how far a bid can sit from our midpoint on wages alone.
BLS counts 9,929,860 jobs across Florida (May 2025), which is 6.4% of US employment.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |
