What is behind the Naples number
We price the labor side from BLS wage data for 3 trades: roofers at 70%, sheet metal workers at 20%, construction laborers at 10%. Weighted together, Naples wages are 0.88 times the national level. Labor makes up about 54% of the midpoint estimate (56% at national prices).
Materials are scaled with BEA's regional price parity for goods. Naples is at 96.2 against 100 for the US, so a materials line of $9,000 nationally becomes $8,650 here (midpoint, 2,000 sq ft of roof). Permits follow the all-items index of 103.2: $150 to $520.
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 Naples. The wage table below marks each row.
Naples weather and the metal roof calendar
Climate numbers on this page come from NOAA's 1991-2020 U.S. Climate Normals at the nearest suitable station, Naples Muni Ap (in the city). They are 30-year averages, so any one year can run hotter, colder or wetter.
For exterior installation, the comfortable months in Naples are October through May: 8 of 12. Outside them, June, July, August and September have an average daytime high of 90°F or more.
Naples gets about 50 inches of precipitation in a normal year. The wettest months are July, August and September (8.9 inches in August). Inside the workable window, November and December are the driest, at 1.4 and 1.3 inches. The station averages about 103 days a year at 90°F or above.
We do not adjust the estimate by month, because we have no reliable published data on seasonal pricing. It is still worth asking contractors whether an off-peak start date changes their bid.

What local crews earn in Naples
The labor line is built from BLS wage data, one trade at a time. This job draws on 3 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 Naples the blend is 0.88.
Roofers (47-2181), 70% of the weighting: a median of $23.76 an hour, 11% below the US median of $26.65. The middle half of them earn between $22.00 and $29.30 an hour. About 610 work in the metro. That is 35.1 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 8.7 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
Sheet metal workers (47-2211) carry 20% of the labor weighting. BLS does not publish this trade for the Naples metro, so we used the Florida statewide median: $23.87 an hour against $29.71 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $19.61 and $28.87 an hour.
For construction laborers (47-2061, weighted 10%) the local median is $22.13 an hour, which is in line with the national $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $18.77 and $24.00 an hour. BLS counts 2,340 of them working in the area, 134.6 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 70.5), so the local bench is deeper than average.
A quick sensitivity check: moving the lead trade (roofers) from the median to the 75th percentile wage adds about $1,750 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $550. That is a swing of roughly 2.8% to 8.9% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
Naples-Marco Island has 173,880 jobs in total (BLS, May 2025), ranking 134th by size among the 300 metros on this site.
