How much do roofers earn on prevailing wage jobs in Nevada?
Every row below is one wage determination line: a roofer classification, in one county, for one construction type, under one funding source. The rate that applies to your project is the row whose county, construction type and funding source all match it — a Highway rate does not apply to a Building project in the same county, and a state determination does not substitute for a federal one.

Roofer prevailing wage questions
What is the prevailing wage for a roofer in Nevada?
Across the 43 federal-funded determination records WageFinder lists for roofers in Nevada, total prevailing wage runs from $18.50 to $61.33 per hour, median $53.18. There is no single statewide figure: each county's determination sets its own rate, and the same county can carry different rates for Building, Highway, Heavy and Residential work.
Does the roofer rate include benefits?
The total prevailing wage shown is the base hourly rate plus the fringe benefit rate. Of the 43 Nevada records on this page, 39 list a fringe amount separately, with a median of $12.42 per hour — roughly 23% of the median total. The rest list no separate fringe, meaning the base rate is the whole obligation. Fringe can be paid as bona fide benefit plan contributions, as cash added to the paycheck, or as a mix of both.
Which Nevada counties have roofer rates?
This page lists roofer records for 17 counties in Nevada: Carson-City, Churchill, Clark, Douglas, Elko, Esmeralda, Eureka, Humboldt, Lander, Lincoln, Lyon, Mineral, and others. Determinations that apply statewide appear under a statewide entry rather than a named county.
How current are these Nevada roofer rates?
The most recent determination in this set is dated June 25, 2026. WageFinder re-reads the official sources weekly, but the date that matters for compliance is the determination date on the document itself, which is shown on every wage detail page and links back to the government source.
