Michigan — Level Index
How do Michigan contractors compare to the national average? Bill rates, collection rates, margins, and utilization data from 78+ Michigan contractors across HVAC, Plumbing, Electrical, and more.
Key Finding
Michigan contractors bill $9/hr above the national median
Michigan's extreme seasonal swings create peak pricing opportunities in winter HVAC and summer cooling. Contractors who adjust rates seasonally earn 15-20% more annually than those with flat pricing.
For a 10-tech shop, that $9/hr difference means $180K per year in additional revenue compared to the national median.
