How much does roofing labor cost in Kailua, Hawaii compared to nearby areas?
In Kailua, roofing labor tends to run about 5 to 15 percent higher than other Oahu neighborhoods, and roughly 15 to 30 percent above mainland averages, because windward access, frequent trade wind damage, higher hauling and permit costs, and limited staging increase labor time compared with Honolulu and nearby Kaneohe.
