Florida (FL)
Labor multiplier: 1.06× national
- Hurricane codes drive impact-rated windows, doors, and enhanced roof fastening
- High humidity and flat/low-slope roofs increase membrane and coating project share
California (CA)

Arizona (AZ)
Labor multiplier: 1.03× national
- Extreme summer heat, intense UV, and monsoon downpours drive cooling loads and exterior wear

Georgia (GA)
Labor multiplier: 0.96× national

Ohio (OH)
Labor multiplier: 0.94× national
- Cold winters, humid summers, and severe spring storms create steady mechanical and exterior demand
- Homes are typically older brick colonials and post-war ranches, and basements are standard, and freeze-thaw cycles plus clay soils keep waterproofing and foundation repair busy
Pennsylvania (PA)
Labor multiplier: 1.02× national
- Freeze-thaw winters and humid summers stress heating systems, masonry, and roof edges
- Homes are typically row homes in older cities and stone or brick colonials in the suburbs, and basements are standard, and older masonry foundations need repointing, parging, and waterproofing over time
