Where the Vineland price comes from
Labor is 65% of the midpoint bill here, against 56% nationally. The mix of trades behind this job is roofers (70%), sheet metal workers (20%), construction laborers (10%). We weight each trade's local median wage by that share and compare it with the national median. In Vineland the blended ratio comes out at 1.45. BLS does not publish this trade for the metro, so we used the New Jersey statewide median.
Materials are scaled with BEA's regional price parity for goods. Vineland is at 99.8 against 100 for the US, so a materials line of $9,000 nationally becomes $9,000 here (midpoint, 2,000 sq ft of roof). Permits follow the all-items index of 96.0: $140 to $480.
Data note: 90% of the labor weighting for this project uses a statewide median because BLS has no published metro figure for that trade in Vineland. The wage table below marks each row.

The best months for metal roof in Vineland
Climate numbers on this page come from NOAA's 1991-2020 U.S. Climate Normals at the nearest suitable station, Millville Muni Ap (10 miles from the city center). They are 30-year averages, so any one year can run hotter, colder or wetter.
For exterior installation, the comfortable months in Vineland are February through December: 11 of 12. Outside them, January has an average daytime high under 45°F.
In January the average high stays below 45°F. Sealants, adhesives and some materials, such as vinyl, are harder to install well in the cold, and short daylight cuts the working day.
Vineland gets about 43 inches of precipitation in a normal year. The wettest months are March, July and August (4.6 inches in August). Inside the workable window, February and May are the driest, at 2.6 and 3.1 inches. The station averages about 22 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.

Who does the work: Vineland trade wages
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 Vineland the blend is 1.45.
Roofers (47-2181) carry 70% of the labor weighting. BLS does not publish this trade for the Vineland metro, so we used the New Jersey statewide median: $36.83 an hour against $26.65 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $23.88 and $47.96 an hour.
Sheet metal workers (47-2211) carry 20% of the labor weighting. BLS does not publish this trade for the Vineland metro, so we used the New Jersey statewide median: $44.64 an hour against $29.71 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $28.07 and $57.63 an hour.
For construction laborers (47-2061, weighted 10%) the local median is $40.23 an hour, which is 78% above the national $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $23.01 and $46.68 an hour. BLS counts 440 of them working in the area, 70.6 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 70.5), so the local bench is about average.
A quick sensitivity check: moving the lead trade (roofers) from the median to the 75th percentile wage adds about $3,500 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $4,100. That is a swing of roughly 15.3% to 13.2% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
Vineland has 62,300 jobs in total (BLS, May 2025), ranking 279th by size among the 300 metros on this site.
