Why New Hampshire pricing looks the way it does

New Hampshire runs ~15% above national — Boston-metro spillover plus cold-climate code.

  • Boston-area labor spillover. Southern New Hampshire (Rockingham, Hillsborough) shares the Boston metro labor market. Trade rates run 20–30% above national average. Northern NH trends closer to baseline.
  • Cold-climate code requirements. NH residential code requires R-49 ceiling insulation and high-efficiency HVAC. Adds $1,000–$3,500 to major remodels.
  • Short construction season. Exterior work compresses into May–October. Peak demand in summer pushes bids 8–12% higher than off-season.
