When Oregon weather lets you replace
Weather decides when exterior installation can happen, and Oregon 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.
Portland has the longest comfortable season of the metros we cover in Oregon at 12 months; Medford has the shortest at 10 (September through June). Rainfall runs from 11 inches a year in Bend to 41 inches in Eugene.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Portland | 36 | 82 | 37 | 12: all year |
| Salem | 36 | 84 | 40 | 12: all year |
| Eugene | 35 | 84 | 41 | 12: all year |
| Bend | 25 | 84 | 11 | 10: February through November |
| Medford | 33 | 92 | 18 | 10: September through June |

Wages behind the Oregon number
Oregon'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 1.05 times the national level.
Carpenters (47-2031), 85% of the weighting: a median of $30.23 an hour, 4% above the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $24.26 and $44.89 an hour. About 15,110 work in the state. That is 76.8 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 $26.13 an hour, which is 10% above the national $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $21.97 and $30.56 an hour. BLS counts 16,160 of them working in the state, 82.2 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 98.4), so the local bench is thinner than average.
A crew paid at the 75th percentile for carpenters ($44.89 an hour) would add about $170 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($24.26) would take off about $70. Use that as a rough guide to how far a bid can sit from our midpoint on wages alone.
BLS counts 1,967,130 jobs across Oregon (May 2025), which is 1.3% of US employment.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carpenters (47-2031) | 85% | $24.26 | $30.23 | $44.89 | $29.12 | 1.04 | state |
| General maintenance and repair workers (49-9071) | 15% | $21.97 | $26.13 | $30.56 | $23.84 | 1.10 | state |

Which Oregon city is cheapest for front door?
1 of the 5 metros sit above the statewide midpoint of $1,600, and the top-to-bottom gap is 6%. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Portland, OR | $570 – $2,700 | $1,650 | +4% |
| Bend, OR | $520 – $2,600 | $1,550 | level |
| Eugene, OR | $520 – $2,600 | $1,550 | level |
| Salem, OR | $510 – $2,600 | $1,550 | −1% |
| Medford, OR | $500 – $2,600 | $1,550 | −2% |
