Oklahoma labor market for gutters
Oklahoma'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 0.91 times the national level.
Sheet metal workers (47-2211), 40% of the weighting: a median of $31.56 an hour, 6% above the US median of $29.71. The middle half of them earn between $26.44 and $33.96 an hour. About 2,820 work in the state. That is 16.5 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 $21.00 an hour, 21% below the US median of $26.65. The middle half of them earn between $18.40 and $26.74 an hour. About 1,260 work in the state. That is 7.4 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 $18.92 an hour, which is 17% below the national $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $17.54 and $22.82 an hour. BLS counts 13,710 of them working in the state, 80.3 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 ($33.96 an hour) would add about $35 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($26.44) would take off about $70. Use that as a rough guide to how far a bid can sit from our midpoint on wages alone.
BLS counts 1,707,680 jobs across Oklahoma (May 2025), which is 1.1% of US employment.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sheet metal workers (47-2211) | 40% | $26.44 | $31.56 | $33.96 | $29.71 | 1.06 | state |
| Roofers (47-2181) | 30% | $18.40 | $21.00 | $26.74 | $26.65 | 0.79 | state |

Gutters cost by metro in Oklahoma
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oklahoma City, OK | $1,200 – $3,900 | $2,550 | +1% |
| Tulsa, OK | $1,200 – $3,900 | $2,550 | level |
Why two Oklahoma quotes can differ
Material
Vinyl is $8-$12 per linear foot installed and aluminum $10-$20. Steel and copper run higher (HomeGuide).
Seamless
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.
Oklahoma against its neighbors
Oklahoma ranks 44 of 51 (the 50 states plus DC) for gutters, where 1 is the most expensive. The costliest is Hawaii at $3,400 and the cheapest Arkansas at $2,400, both for 160 linear ft at the midpoint. Oklahoma sits at $2,550. The five states closest by workforce center are listed below.
| State | Distance | Range | Midpoint | vs. here |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| Arkansas | 220 miles away | $1,100 – $3,700 | $2,400 | −5% |

When Oklahoma weather lets you install
Weather decides when exterior installation can happen, and Oklahoma 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.
Every Oklahoma metro on the list has 10 comfortable months, though rainfall ranges from 36 inches a year in Oklahoma City to 41 in Tulsa.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Oklahoma City | 27 | 93 | 36 | 10: September through June |
| Tulsa | 28 | 94 | 41 | 10: September through June |
Other Oklahoma jobs that often go with gutters
