What the number means

New Hampshire had 75 roofing contractors in 2023, ranking number 47 among the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Together they employed 567 people and paid $54 million in annual payroll, an average of 7.6 employees per site.

These businesses make up 0.19% of every employer establishment in New Hampshire, 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.

60% of roofing contractors in New Hampshire have fewer than 5 employees, against 65% across the U.S.

New Hampshire holds 0.3% of the nation's roofing contractors and 0.5% 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 (45 sites). Average payroll per employee is $95,344, against $70,552 for the U.S. trade.

Questions

How many roofing contractors are in New Hampshire?

The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted 75 roofing contractors with paid employees in New Hampshire in 2023. That ranks New Hampshire number 47 among the 50 states and the District of Columbia.

Is the number of roofing contractors in New Hampshire growing?

Between 2017 and 2023 the count grew (15.4%), from 65 to 75. 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.
