Each state is ranked by its region's labor and material costs, so states in the same region share a baseline — actual prices still vary by metro, contractor, and site conditions. Totals assume a typical 150 linear ft project at mid-grade materials. For a precise local figure, open your state's page or run the free estimate tool.
