What the number means
Nevada had 121 roofing contractors in 2023, ranking number 38 among the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Together they employed 2,374 people and paid $157 million in annual payroll, an average of 19.6 employees per site.
These businesses make up 0.16% of every employer establishment in Nevada, below the 0.31% national share. A site count is not the same as the number of companies: a chain with 40 locations counts 40 times.
47% of roofing contractors in Nevada have fewer than 5 employees, against 65% across the U.S.
Nevada holds 0.5% of the nation's roofing contractors and 0.9% of all U.S. employer establishments, so, measured against the state's overall size, the trade is under-represented. The most common size class is under 5 employees (57 sites). Average payroll per employee is $66,056, against $70,552 for the U.S. trade.

Questions
How many roofing contractors are in Nevada?
The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted 121 roofing contractors with paid employees in Nevada in 2023. That ranks Nevada number 38 among the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
Is the number of roofing contractors in Nevada growing?
Between 2017 and 2023 the count grew (13.1%), from 107 to 121. Across the United States the count changed by +31.6% over the same period. These years include the 2020 pandemic.
Does this count include self-employed owners with no staff?
No. County Business Patterns covers establishments with at least one paid employee. A sole proprietor with no employees is counted in a separate Census series called Nonemployer Statistics, which this site does not use yet, so the real number of people working in this trade is higher than the figure shown.
