Idaho — Level Index
How do Idaho contractors compare to the national average? Bill rates, collection rates, margins, and utilization data from 38+ Idaho contractors across HVAC, Plumbing, Electrical, and more.
Key Finding
Idaho contractors bill $2/hr below the national median
Idaho's rapid population growth, especially in the Boise metro area, is driving rates upward. Contractors who relocated from higher-cost West Coast markets are importing premium pricing expectations.
For a 10-tech shop, that $2/hr difference means $40K per year in lost revenue compared to the national median.
