Weather windows across Hawaii
Season matters for gutters. For each Hawaii metro below we took NOAA's 1991-2020 monthly normals from the nearest suitable station and counted comfortable months for exterior installation.
Honolulu has the longest comfortable season of the metros we cover in Hawaii at 12 months; Kahului has the shortest at 10 (October through July). Rainfall runs from 16 inches a year in Kahului to 16 inches in Honolulu.
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.
| Metro | Jan avg low °F | Jul avg high °F | Precip (in/yr) | Comfortable months |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Honolulu | 67 | 88 | 16 | 12: all year |
| Kahului | 64 | 89 | 16 | 10: October through July |

Gutters cost by metro in Hawaii
1 of the 2 metros sit above the statewide midpoint of $3,400, and the top-to-bottom gap is 1%. 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.

|---|---|---|---|
| Kahului, HI | $1,650 – $5,200 | $3,400 | +1% |

Hawaii 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 1.44 for Hawaii.
For sheet metal workers (47-2211, weighted 40%) the local median is $46.32 an hour, which is 56% above the national $29.71. The middle half of them earn between $37.40 and $50.70 an hour. BLS counts 490 of them working in the state, 7.8 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 $28.64 an hour, which is 7% above the national $26.65. The middle half of them earn between $22.96 and $35.43 an hour. BLS counts 1,110 of them working in the state, 17.7 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 $37.07 an hour, 64% above the US median of $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $25.13 and $42.19 an hour. About 4,580 work in the state. That is 73.0 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 70.5 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.
A crew paid at the 75th percentile for sheet metal workers ($50.70 an hour) would add about $60 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($37.40) would take off about $120. Use that as a rough guide to how far a bid can sit from our midpoint on wages alone.
BLS counts 627,530 jobs across Hawaii (May 2025), which is 0.4% of US employment.
