Where the Coeur d'Alene price comes from
Labor is 63% of the midpoint bill here, against 61% nationally. The mix of trades behind this job is roofers (85%), construction laborers (15%). We weight each trade's local median wage by that share and compare it with the national median. In Coeur d'Alene the blended ratio comes out at 1.05. BLS does not publish this trade for the metro, so we used the Idaho statewide median.
Materials are scaled with BEA's regional price parity for goods. Coeur d'Alene is at 96.2 against 100 for the US, so a materials line of $3,300 nationally becomes $3,150 here (midpoint, 2,000 sq ft of roof). Permits follow the all-items index of 98.3: $100 to $490.
Data note: 85% of the labor weighting for this project uses a statewide median because BLS has no published metro figure for that trade in Coeur d'Alene. The wage table below marks each row.
Coeur d'Alene weather and the roof replacement calendar
Climate numbers on this page come from NOAA's 1991-2020 U.S. Climate Normals at the nearest suitable station, Coeur D'Alene (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 Coeur d'Alene are March through October: 8 of 12. Outside them, January, February, November and December have an average daytime high under 45°F.
In January, February, November and December 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.
Coeur d'Alene gets about 25 inches of precipitation in a normal year. The wettest months are January, November and December (3.5 inches in December). Inside the workable window, July and August are the driest, at 0.7 and 0.8 inches. The station averages about 18 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 Coeur d'Alene
The labor line is built from BLS wage data, one trade at a time. This job draws on 2 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 Coeur d'Alene the blend is 1.05.
Roofers (47-2181) carry 85% of the labor weighting. BLS does not publish this trade for the Coeur d'Alene metro, so we used the Idaho statewide median: $27.78 an hour against $26.65 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $19.92 and $30.57 an hour.
For construction laborers (47-2061, weighted 15%) the local median is $24.48 an hour, which is 8% above the national $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $21.40 and $28.20 an hour. BLS counts 1,080 of them working in the area, 149.4 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 $510 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $1,450. That is a swing of roughly 15.1% to 5.4% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
Coeur d'Alene has 72,280 jobs in total (BLS, May 2025), ranking 254th by size among the 300 metros on this site.

What nearby projects cost in Coeur d'Alene
Jobs that often go together with roof are priced below at their usual sizes, using the same Coeur d'Alene wage and price inputs. Compared with national midpoints, metal roof comes out highest (−2%) and attic insulation lowest (−6%); the gap comes from the trades each job uses.
| Project | Size | Range | vs. US |
|---|---|---|---|
| Metal roof | 2,000 sq ft of roof | $9,950 – $31,700 | −2% |
| Gutters | 160 linear ft | $1,200 – $4,000 | −5% |

Why two Coeur d'Alene quotes can differ
Shingle type
3-tab asphalt is $3-$5 per sq ft installed; architectural is $4-$6 (HomeGuide). Metal, tile and slate are separate projects with much higher ranges.
Roof area, not floor area
Pitch and complexity mean roof surface is larger than the house's footprint. A 1,500 sq ft ranch can have 1,800-2,200 sq ft of roof.
Tear-off and layers
Removing a second layer or rotted decking adds cost, and the contractor can only see decking damage after tear-off.
