Nevada 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 0.89 for Nevada.
For sheet metal workers (47-2211, weighted 40%) the local median is $22.47 an hour, which is 24% below the national $29.71. The middle half of them earn between $18.82 and $40.07 an hour. BLS counts 1,270 of them working in the state, 8.2 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 $24.56 an hour, which is 8% below the national $26.65. The middle half of them earn between $23.32 and $31.07 an hour. BLS counts 2,120 of them working in the state, 13.7 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 $23.55 an hour, 4% above the US median of $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $20.22 and $31.12 an hour. About 11,890 work in the state. That is 76.6 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 ($40.07 an hour) would add about $250 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($18.82) would take off about $50. Use that as a rough guide to how far a bid can sit from our midpoint on wages alone.
BLS counts 1,551,540 jobs across Nevada (May 2025), which is 1.0% of US employment.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sheet metal workers (47-2211) | 40% | $18.82 | $22.47 | $40.07 | $29.71 | 0.76 | state |

Weather windows across Nevada
Season matters for gutters. For each Nevada metro below we took NOAA's 1991-2020 monthly normals from the nearest suitable station and counted comfortable months for exterior installation.
Reno has the longest comfortable season of the metros we cover in Nevada at 10 months (September through June); Las Vegas has the shortest at 8 (October through May). Rainfall runs from 4 inches a year in Las Vegas to 7 inches in Reno.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Las Vegas | 39 | 104 | 4 | 8: October through May |
| Reno | 26 | 94 | 7 | 10: September through June |
Which Nevada city is cheapest for gutters?
1 of the 2 metros sit above the statewide midpoint of $2,550, 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.
| Metro | Range (160 linear ft) | Midpoint | vs. state |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reno, NV | $1,200 – $3,950 | $2,600 | +1% |
| Las Vegas, NV | $1,200 – $3,950 | $2,550 | −1% |
