Local tip: Local code, permit fees, and how busy crews are this month move numbers as much as wage rates do.

What usually moves the number

Scope surprises: duct repairs, panel upgrades, extra roof layers.
How booked local crews are this season.
Materials choices — we only nudge materials with a dampened regional factor. See methodology.
