What is behind the Flagstaff number
We price the labor side from BLS wage data for 3 trades: carpenters at 60%, electricians at 20%, general maintenance and repair workers at 20%. Weighted together, Flagstaff wages are 0.94 times the national level. Labor makes up about 29% of the midpoint estimate (30% at national prices).
Materials are scaled with BEA's regional price parity for goods. Flagstaff is at 96.2 against 100 for the US, so a materials line of $1,450 nationally becomes $1,400 here (midpoint, 1 door). Permits follow the all-items index of 100.3: $0 to $200.
What local crews earn in Flagstaff
The labor line is built from BLS wage data, one trade at a time. This job draws on 3 trades. We compare each trade's local median with the US median, weight the ratios by how much of the job each trade does, and apply the blend to the national labor cost. For Flagstaff the blend is 0.94.
Carpenters (47-2031), 60% of the weighting: a median of $26.91 an hour, 8% below the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $22.77 and $30.14 an hour. About 280 work in the metro. That is 42.0 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 43.1 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.
For electricians (47-2111, weighted 20%) the local median is $29.49 an hour, which is in line with the national $30.38. The middle half of them earn between $23.72 and $37.00 an hour. BLS counts 250 of them working in the area, 37.5 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 48.7), so the local bench is thinner than average.
For general maintenance and repair workers (49-9071, weighted 20%) the local median is $22.53 an hour, which is 5% below the national $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $18.65 and $27.06 an hour. BLS counts 1,090 of them working in the area, 163.6 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 98.4), so the local bench is deeper than average.
A quick sensitivity check: moving the lead trade (carpenters) from the median to the 75th percentile wage adds about $45 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $55. That is a swing of roughly 2.6% to 2.1% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
Flagstaff has 66,610 jobs in total (BLS, May 2025), ranking 272nd by size among the 300 metros on this site.

Flagstaff weather and the garage door calendar
Climate numbers on this page come from NOAA's 1991-2020 U.S. Climate Normals at the nearest suitable station, Flagstaff Pulliam Ap (5 miles from the city center). They are 30-year averages, so any one year can run hotter, colder or wetter.
For exterior installation, the comfortable months in Flagstaff are February through November: 10 of 12. Outside them, January and December have an average daytime high under 45°F.
In January and December the average high stays below 45°F. Sealants, adhesives and some materials, such as vinyl, are harder to install well in the cold, and short daylight cuts the working day.

Inside the workable window, May and June are the driest, at 0.8 and 0.3 inches. The station averages about 3 days a year at 90°F or above.
We do not adjust the estimate by month, because we have no reliable published data on seasonal pricing. It is still worth asking contractors whether an off-peak start date changes their bid.
