According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics roofers made an average of $18.54 per hour or $38570 per year. The highest paid earned more than $28.89 per hour or $60090 per year. Some wages could fall below $10.79 per hour or $22430 per year.

Down payment depends on each state. In California the state limits advance payment at the time of contract signing to 10% of the total estimated job cost or $1000.

In spring and fall roofers start work at around 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 or 6:00 p.m. During the hot summer months roofers usually start earlier in the morning and often end by 2:00 p.m.
