When you repair matters

Relative cost multiplier by month — contractor demand drives prices above baseline during storm season.

JanFebMarAprMay+20%Jun+35%Jul+40%Aug+35%SepOctNovDec
Peak season
Off-peak
Current month

Contractor demand peaks June–August. Repair costs run 20–40% above baseline during peak season as storm chasers enter the market and local contractors backlog 4–8 weeks.

How these estimates are calculated

01
NOAA storm history

Every documented hail event ≥1" from the NOAA NCEI Storm Events Database over the past decade — dates, stone sizes, and county coverage.

NOAA NCEI source
02
BLS local labor rates

Roofing contractor wage data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Employment & Wage Statistics survey, indexed per metro area.

See labor methodology
03
BLS PPI materials

Asphalt shingle material costs from the BLS Producer Price Index, updated monthly. Estimates reflect current material pricing — not historical averages.
