Hawaii seasons and front door
Season matters for front door. For each Hawaii metro below we took NOAA's 1991-2020 monthly normals from the nearest suitable station and counted comfortable months for exterior installation.
Honolulu has the longest comfortable season of the metros we cover in Hawaii at 12 months; Kahului has the shortest at 10 (October through July). Rainfall runs from 16 inches a year in Kahului to 16 inches in Honolulu.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Honolulu | 67 | 88 | 16 | 12: all year |
| Kahului | 64 | 89 | 16 | 10: October through July |
Wages behind the Hawaii number
Statewide wages come from BLS's state-level estimates, which blend big cities with small towns and rural areas. 2 trades drive the labor line for this job, and the weighted ratio against the national wage level is 1.37 for Hawaii.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 85%) the local median is $41.00 an hour, which is 41% above the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $31.91 and $53.36 an hour. BLS counts 4,810 of them working in the state, 76.6 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 43.1), so the local bench is deeper than average.
General maintenance and repair workers (49-9071), 15% of the weighting: a median of $27.86 an hour, 17% above the US median of $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $22.54 and $34.84 an hour. About 8,030 work in the state. That is 128.0 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 98.4 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
A crew paid at the 75th percentile for carpenters ($53.36 an hour) would add about $140 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($31.91) would take off about $110. Use that as a rough guide to how far a bid can sit from our midpoint on wages alone.
BLS counts 627,530 jobs across Hawaii (May 2025), which is 0.4% of US employment.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carpenters (47-2031) | 85% | $31.91 | $41.00 | $53.36 | $29.12 | 1.41 | state |
