Where the Idaho Falls price comes from
The wage side of the estimate leans on carpenters, who do 60% of the hours on a typical job. Their local median is $25.07 an hour. Add the other trades involved and the blended wage index for Idaho Falls is 0.92 (US = 1.00), which puts labor at 29% of the total.
Materials are scaled with BEA's regional price parity for goods. Idaho Falls 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 94.4: $0 to $190.
Why two Idaho Falls quotes can differ
Door size and style
A standard door with 4-5 rectangular panels is $400-$1,400 before installation; add windows and it's $600-$2,500 (HomeGuide).
Opener
A new opener is a separate line at $300-$900 installed.
Labor
Installation labor is about $200-$500, so the door itself is most of the bill.
What local crews earn in Idaho Falls
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 Idaho Falls the blend is 0.92.
Carpenters (47-2031), 60% of the weighting: a median of $25.07 an hour, 14% below the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $21.83 and $31.11 an hour. About 750 work in the metro. That is 91.6 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 43.1 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
For electricians (47-2111, weighted 20%) the local median is $31.42 an hour, which is 3% above the national $30.38. The middle half of them earn between $23.27 and $40.07 an hour. BLS counts 540 of them working in the area, 66.0 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 48.7), so the local bench is deeper than average.
For general maintenance and repair workers (49-9071, weighted 20%) the local median is $23.57 an hour, which is in line with the national $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $18.79 and $29.39 an hour. BLS counts 640 of them working in the area, 78.2 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 98.4), so the local bench is thinner than average.
A quick sensitivity check: moving the lead trade (carpenters) from the median to the 75th percentile wage adds about $80 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $45. That is a swing of roughly 2.1% to 3.9% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
Idaho Falls has 81,840 jobs in total (BLS, May 2025), ranking 233rd by size among the 300 metros on this site.

Idaho Falls 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, Idaho Falls Fanning Fld (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 Idaho Falls are March through October: 8 of 12. Outside them, January, February, November and December have an average daytime high under 45°F.
In January, February, November 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.
