Garage door: what moves the price in Missouri
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.
Permit
Like-for-like replacement often needs no permit. Opening up the wall or adding wiring can.

Extras are quoted nationally and then scaled to Missouri by the average of the local wage index (1.00) and goods index (0.96), a factor of 0.98. Tick any of them in the estimator above to add them to your total. Treat these as planning figures: an add-on touches different trades than the main job, so the scaling is an approximation.

What carpenters and the other trades earn in Missouri
Statewide wages come from BLS's state-level estimates, which blend big cities with small towns and rural areas. 3 trades drive the labor line for this job, and the weighted ratio against the national wage level is 1.00 for Missouri.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 60%) the local median is $29.25 an hour, which is in line with the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $22.85 and $38.74 an hour. BLS counts 14,410 of them working in the state, 49.1 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 $31.45 an hour, 4% above the US median of $30.38. The middle half of them earn between $23.95 and $45.08 an hour. About 12,780 work in the state. That is 43.5 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 48.7 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.
General maintenance and repair workers (49-9071), 20% of the weighting: a median of $23.26 an hour, in line with the US median of $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $19.19 and $29.54 an hour. About 31,180 work in the state. That is 106.2 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 98.4 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.
A crew paid at the 75th percentile for carpenters ($38.74 an hour) would add about $130 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($22.85) would take off about $85. Use that as a rough guide to how far a bid can sit from our midpoint on wages alone.
BLS counts 2,936,050 jobs across Missouri (May 2025), which is 1.9% of US employment.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carpenters (47-2031) | 60% | $22.85 | $29.25 | $38.74 | $29.12 | 1.00 | state |
| Electricians (47-2111) | 20% | $23.95 | $31.45 | $45.08 | $30.38 | 1.04 | state |

Weather windows across Missouri
Season matters for garage door. For each Missouri metro below we took NOAA's 1991-2020 monthly normals from the nearest suitable station and counted comfortable months for exterior installation.
Springfield has the longest comfortable season of the metros we cover in Missouri at 11 months (February through December); Kansas City has the shortest at 9 (February through June and August through November). Rainfall runs from 38 inches a year in Kansas City to 47 inches in Springfield.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| St. Louis | 25 | 90 | 44 | 10: February through June and August through December |

Missouri metro-by-metro prices
1 of the 6 metros sit above the statewide midpoint of $2,150, and the top-to-bottom gap is 13%. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| St. Louis, MO | $750 – $3,850 | $2,300 | +8% |
| Kansas City, MO | $690 – $3,600 | $2,150 | level |
