Key Finding
Vermont contractors bill $6/hr above the national median
Vermont's small market, harsh winters, and energy efficiency mandates create steady demand with limited competition. Contractors specializing in weatherization and heat pump installations command premium rates year-round.
For a 10-tech shop, that $6/hr difference means $120K per year in additional revenue compared to the national median.
