Las Vegas labor market for roof
Wages are the part of this estimate that changes most from town to town. 2 trades carry the job here, and each is compared with its US median. The weighted result for Las Vegas is 0.92 times the national level.
For roofers (47-2181, weighted 85%) the local median is $23.94 an hour, which is 10% below the national $26.65. The middle half of them earn between $23.06 and $30.58 an hour. BLS counts 1,350 of them working in the area, 11.9 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 8.7), so the local bench is deeper than average.
Construction laborers (47-2061), 15% of the weighting: a median of $23.19 an hour, in line with the US median of $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $19.36 and $30.14 an hour. About 8,280 work in the metro. That is 72.8 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 70.5 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.
Quotes come from real crews, not medians. If the roofers on your job are paid at the 75th percentile ($30.58 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $1,200. At the 25th percentile ($23.06) it shrinks by about $160. The total moves by 13.9% or 1.8%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.
For context on the local economy, BLS counts 1,136,960 jobs in the Las Vegas-Henderson-North Las Vegas area. That makes it the 26th largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.73% of US employment.

Roof replacement: what moves the price in Las Vegas
Permit
Roof replacement permits run $100-$500 depending on the location.
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.
Related projects, priced for Las Vegas

Climate in Las Vegas: timing your roof job
We use NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals for Las Vegas Air Terminal (5 miles from the city center). These are 30-year monthly averages, not forecasts.

Las Vegas gets about 4 inches of precipitation in a normal year. The wettest months are January, February and March (0.8 inches in February). Inside the workable window, April and May are the driest, at 0.2 and 0.1 inches. The station averages about 136 days a year at 90°F or above.
Does the season change the price? Probably, but we do not have a sourced seasonal price curve, so the estimator shows a year-round figure and does not adjust by month. When you collect quotes, ask whether scheduling in a slower month gets a better rate.
