Where these numbers come from
Ranges are compiled from two sources: published installer pricing and prices buyers report after they have paid (public forums, owner groups). We publish the statistics, not the individual posts. Current sample:330+ reported prices, updated monthly as new reports and quote requests come in.
Methodology
Base ranges are compiled from published installer quotes and shop price lists across US metros in 2026. City figures are the national range adjusted by a market cost factor, not a separate survey — treat them as a planning range, not a quote.
If you run a shop and your prices sit outside these ranges, that is useful data — tell us and we will note the market difference rather than force you into a national average.
