Why Napa prices look the way they do
We price the labor side from BLS wage data for 2 trades: tile and stone setters at 85%, construction laborers at 15%. Weighted together, Napa wages are 1.09 times the national level. Labor makes up about 41% of the midpoint estimate (40% at national prices). BLS does not publish this trade for the metro, so we used the California statewide median.
Materials are scaled with BEA's regional price parity for goods. Napa is at 105.2 against 100 for the US, so a materials line of $3,700 nationally becomes $3,900 here (midpoint, 200 sq ft). Permits follow the all-items index of 112.6: $0 to $0.
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 Napa. The wage table below marks each row.
What local crews earn in Napa
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 Napa the blend is 1.09.
Tile and stone setters (47-2044) carry 85% of the labor weighting. BLS does not publish this trade for the Napa metro, so we used the California statewide median: $28.31 an hour against $26.77 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $22.86 and $35.61 an hour.
For construction laborers (47-2061, weighted 15%) the local median is $28.75 an hour, which is 27% above the national $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $23.80 and $36.35 an hour. BLS counts 540 of them working in the area, 69.4 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 70.5), so the local bench is about average.
A quick sensitivity check: moving the lead trade (tile and stone setters) from the median to the 75th percentile wage adds about $580 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $430. That is a swing of roughly 6.5% to 8.8% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
Napa has 77,860 jobs in total (BLS, May 2025), ranking 242nd by size among the 300 metros on this site.
