Basic, standard or premium: Arizona prices
Bands overlap on purpose, since a good standard job can cost as much as a light premium one. Below are the three bands for the default size, then a grid from single entry door to front and side doors.
Basic
$480 to $1,250
Basic steel door, same size opening
Standard
$1,050 to $1,800
Fiberglass door with sidelight trim or glass
Premium
$1,650 to $2,400
Wood or custom door, frame work needed
| Size | Basic | Standard | Premium |
|---|---|---|---|
| single entry door | $480 – $1,250 | $1,050 – $1,800 | $1,650 – $2,400 |
| front and side doors | $960 – $2,500 | $2,100 – $3,650 | $3,250 – $4,800 |
Arizona metro-by-metro prices
1 of the 6 metros sit above the statewide midpoint of $1,450, and the top-to-bottom gap is 5%. Each row prices the default size with that metro's own BLS wages and BEA price levels, so the gap between rows is real local variation rather than a flat markup.
| Metro | Range (1 door) | Midpoint | vs. state |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phoenix, AZ | $490 – $2,400 | $1,450 | +1% |
| Prescott Valley, AZ | $470 – $2,400 | $1,450 | level |
| Flagstaff, AZ | $470 – $2,400 | $1,450 | level |
| Tucson, AZ | $440 – $2,350 | $1,400 | −3% |
| Yuma, AZ | $430 – $2,350 | $1,400 | −4% |
| Lake Havasu City, AZ | $430 – $2,300 | $1,400 | −4% |
When Arizona weather lets you replace
Weather decides when exterior installation can happen, and Arizona is not uniform. The table uses NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals from the weather station nearest each metro we cover, and counts the months that are neither cold nor hot enough to complicate the job.
Prescott Valley has the longest comfortable season of the metros we cover in Arizona at 11 months (August through June); Yuma has the shortest at 6 (November through April). Rainfall runs from 3 inches a year in Yuma to 21 inches in Flagstaff.
We do not adjust prices by month, because we have no reliable published data on seasonal pricing. Timing is still worth raising when you collect bids.
| Metro | Jan avg low °F | Jul avg high °F | Precip (in/yr) | Comfortable months |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Phoenix | 44 | 104 | 9 | 7: October through April |
| Tucson | 41 | 100 | 11 | 7: October through April |
| Prescott Valley | 26 | 90 | 13 | 11: August through June |
| Yuma | 48 | 107 | 3 | 6: November through April |
| Flagstaff | 18 | 82 | 21 | 10: February through November |
| Lake Havasu City | 43 | 109 | 4 | 7: October through April |
What carpenters and the other trades earn in Arizona
Arizona's labor line is priced from 2 trades, each compared with its US median wage. After weighting by each trade's share of the work, the state comes out at 0.97 times the national level.
Carpenters (47-2031), 85% of the weighting: a median of $28.17 an hour, 3% below the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $23.02 and $33.57 an hour. About 16,230 work in the state. That is 50.1 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 43.1 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
For general maintenance and repair workers (49-9071, weighted 15%) the local median is $22.90 an hour, which is 4% below the national $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $19.00 and $29.15 an hour. BLS counts 39,000 of them working in the state, 120.4 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 98.4), so the local bench is deeper than average.
A crew paid at the 75th percentile for carpenters ($33.57 an hour) would add about $65 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($23.02) would take off about $60. Use that as a rough guide to how far a bid can sit from our midpoint on wages alone.
BLS counts 3,239,430 jobs across Arizona (May 2025), which is 2.1% of US employment.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carpenters (47-2031) | 85% | $23.02 | $28.17 | $33.57 | $29.12 | 0.97 | state |
| General maintenance and repair workers (49-9071) | 15% | $19.00 | $22.90 | $29.15 | $23.84 | 0.96 | state |
