Alaska — Level Index
How do Alaska contractors compare to the national average? Bill rates, collection rates, margins, and utilization data from 32+ Alaska contractors across HVAC, Plumbing, Fire Protection, and more.
Key Finding
Alaska contractors bill $15/hr above the national median
Alaska's extreme climate and remote logistics push HVAC and plumbing rates well above the national median. Limited labor supply and high material shipping costs give established contractors significant pricing power.
For a 10-tech shop, that $15/hr difference means $300K per year in additional revenue compared to the national median.
