Colorado Springs labor market for garage door
Wages are the part of this estimate that changes most from town to town. 3 trades carry the job here, and each is compared with its US median. The weighted result for Colorado Springs is 0.95 times the national level.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 60%) the local median is $27.61 an hour, which is 5% below the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $23.86 and $31.36 an hour. BLS counts 1,220 of them working in the area, 38.6 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 43.1), so the local bench is about average.
Electricians (47-2111), 20% of the weighting: a median of $28.47 an hour, 6% below the US median of $30.38. The middle half of them earn between $22.99 and $35.56 an hour. About 1,290 work in the metro. That is 40.8 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 48.7 nationally, so expect fewer local crews to bid.
General maintenance and repair workers (49-9071), 20% of the weighting: a median of $23.41 an hour, in line with the US median of $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $20.99 and $29.26 an hour. About 2,410 work in the metro. That is 76.3 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 98.4 nationally, so expect fewer local crews to bid.
Quotes come from real crews, not medians. If the carpenters on your job are paid at the 75th percentile ($31.36 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $50. At the 25th percentile ($23.86) it shrinks by about $50. The total moves by 2.4% or 2.4%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.
For context on the local economy, BLS counts 316,060 jobs in the Colorado Springs area. That makes it the 81st largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.20% of US employment.

Climate in Colorado Springs: timing your garage door job
We use NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals for Colorado Springs Muni Ap (5 miles from the city center). These are 30-year monthly averages, not forecasts.
Weather is not a serious constraint for exterior installation in Colorado Springs: no month in the averages is cold enough (an average daytime high under 45°F) or hot enough (an average daytime high of 90°F or more) to rule it out, so the workable window is all year.
Colorado Springs gets about 16 inches of precipitation in a normal year, including roughly 33 inches of snow. The wettest months are June, July and August (3.1 inches in July). The station averages about 23 days a year at 90°F or above.
Does the season change the price? Probably, but we do not have a sourced seasonal price curve, so the estimator shows a year-round figure and does not adjust by month. When you collect quotes, ask whether scheduling in a slower month gets a better rate.
