Use the listings

Results below use the Kansas state filter. Open a posting to confirm its real worksite, project type, and travel territory.

Before you apply

Ask whether the territory spans rural counties and whether drive time is compensated. Check whether the role is employee or subcontractor work and who provides tools, safety equipment, and training.

Work areas to compare

Wichita

For a Wichita posting, confirm whether the day centers on residential replacement, commercial installation, or repair. Check the crew’s usual work radius.

Kansas City

In Kansas City, compare field and service work by dispatch point, on-call expectations, and whether travel between jobs is paid.

Topeka

For Topeka openings, ask how estimating, project oversight, or sales duties are divided and whether leads or a vehicle are provided.

Kansas conditions and the offer

NOAA’s Kansas summary describes a wetter east and drier west, with large temperature swings. Ask how the employer plans around these conditions; weather alone does not establish hiring demand. Read the NOAA state summary.

  • Field work: compare hourly pay, overtime terms, equipment, and paid travel.
  • Sales: ask about base pay, leads, commission timing, and cancellations.
  • Estimating and leadership: clarify territory, reporting duties, and vehicle use.

Compare an offer with the row that covers its actual worksite. A metro may cross a state border, and nonmetropolitan estimates cover a broader area than one town. An omitted region has no row in the table checked here; its wage should not be inferred from a neighboring metro.

These estimates concern employee roofers. They do not establish sales commissions, self-employed contractor income, prevailing-wage obligations, or guaranteed annual earnings. Benefits, overtime, paid travel and seasonal hours affect an offer’s value. The median is not a legal minimum.
