How do Florida contractors compare to the national average? Bill rates, collection rates, margins, and utilization data from 156+ Florida contractors across HVAC, Electrical, Plumbing, and more.
Key Finding
Florida contractors bill $2/hr below the national median
Florida's year-round demand and hurricane season create distinct pricing windows. Restoration and emergency service calls command 40-60% premiums over standard rates, yet many contractors don't adjust seasonally.
For a 10-tech shop, that $2/hr difference means $40K per year in lost revenue compared to the national median.
