Weather windows across New Hampshire
Weather decides when exterior installation can happen, and New Hampshire is not uniform. The table uses NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals from the weather station nearest each metro we cover, and counts the months that are neither cold nor hot enough to complicate the job.
Manchester has 9 comfortable months (March through November), with about 40 inches of precipitation a year.
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.

Which New Hampshire city is cheapest for gutters?
New Hampshire has one metro in our dataset, Manchester, so the statewide and metro figures are close. The state figure uses BLS statewide wages, which include rural areas. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Manchester, NH | $1,250 – $4,150 | $2,700 | −1% |

Seamless costs $3-$5+ more per linear foot than sectional, but has fewer places to leak.
Stories
Two-story homes add $1-$3 per linear foot for ladders and fall protection.
Permit
Local building codes may add $50-$200, though most cities don't require one.
New Hampshire labor market for gutters
New Hampshire's labor line is priced from 3 trades, each compared with its US median wage. After weighting by each trade's share of the work, the state comes out at 1.03 times the national level.
Sheet metal workers (47-2211), 40% of the weighting: a median of $28.75 an hour, 3% below the US median of $29.71. The middle half of them earn between $22.26 and $34.06 an hour. About 760 work in the state. That is 11.1 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 7.7 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
Roofers (47-2181), 30% of the weighting: a median of $28.76 an hour, 8% above the US median of $26.65. The middle half of them earn between $23.40 and $34.80 an hour. About 270 work in the state. That is 4.0 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 8.7 nationally, so expect fewer local crews to bid.
For construction laborers (47-2061, weighted 30%) the local median is $24.03 an hour, which is 6% above the national $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $21.61 and $28.32 an hour. BLS counts 4,330 of them working in the state, 63.4 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 70.5), so the local bench is about average.
A crew paid at the 75th percentile for sheet metal workers ($34.06 an hour) would add about $75 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($22.26) would take off about $90. Use that as a rough guide to how far a bid can sit from our midpoint on wages alone.
BLS counts 683,290 jobs across New Hampshire (May 2025), which is 0.4% of US employment.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |

| Sheet metal workers (47-2211) | 40% | $22.26 | $28.75 | $34.06 | $29.71 | 0.97 | state |
