Where the Sheboygan price comes from
Labor is 23% of the midpoint bill here, against 20% nationally. The mix of trades behind this job is carpenters (45%), electricians (15%), plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters (15%), tile and stone setters (10%), drywall and ceiling tile installers (10%), painters, construction and maintenance (5%). We weight each trade's local median wage by that share and compare it with the national median. In Sheboygan the blended ratio comes out at 1.13.
Materials are scaled with BEA's regional price parity for goods. Sheboygan is at 93.8 against 100 for the US, so a materials line of $19,000 nationally becomes $17,800 here (midpoint, 120 sq ft). Permits follow the all-items index of 94.0: $470 to $1,400.
Data note: 20% of the labor weighting for this project uses a statewide median because BLS has no published metro figure for that trade in Sheboygan. The wage table below marks each row.
What local crews earn in Sheboygan
The labor line is built from BLS wage data, one trade at a time. This job draws on 6 trades. We compare each trade's local median with the US median, weight the ratios by how much of the job each trade does, and apply the blend to the national labor cost. For Sheboygan the blend is 1.13.
Carpenters (47-2031), 45% of the weighting: a median of $30.17 an hour, 4% above the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $24.39 and $40.68 an hour. About 230 work in the metro. That is 37.9 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 43.1 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.
For electricians (47-2111, weighted 15%) the local median is $37.92 an hour, which is 25% above the national $30.38. The middle half of them earn between $28.40 and $45.18 an hour. BLS counts 370 of them working in the area, 61.0 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 48.7), so the local bench is deeper than average.
Plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters (47-2152), 15% of the weighting: a median of $44.01 an hour, 43% above the US median of $30.67. The middle half of them earn between $29.77 and $50.42 an hour. About 150 work in the metro. That is 24.7 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 30.0 nationally, so expect fewer local crews to bid.
Tile and stone setters (47-2044) carry 10% of the labor weighting. BLS does not publish this trade for the Sheboygan metro, so we used the Wisconsin statewide median: $30.14 an hour against $26.77 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $27.44 and $36.42 an hour.
Drywall and ceiling tile installers (47-2081) carry 10% of the labor weighting. BLS does not publish this trade for the Sheboygan metro, so we used the Wisconsin statewide median: $28.83 an hour against $28.33 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $23.05 and $33.42 an hour.
Painters, construction and maintenance (47-2141), 5% of the weighting: a median of $23.78 an hour, in line with the US median of $23.75. The middle half of them earn between $22.56 and $28.81 an hour. About 90 work in the metro. That is 14.8 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 14.5 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.
A quick sensitivity check: moving the lead trade (carpenters) from the median to the 75th percentile wage adds about $810 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $440. That is a swing of roughly 1.8% to 3.3% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
Sheboygan has 60,630 jobs in total (BLS, May 2025), ranking 285th by size among the 300 metros on this site.
