Who does the work: Springfield trade wages
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 Springfield the blend is 0.88.
Carpenters (47-2031), 60% of the weighting: a median of $25.00 an hour, 14% below the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $21.89 and $31.04 an hour. About 920 work in the metro. That is 41.3 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 $27.21 an hour, which is 10% below the national $30.38. The middle half of them earn between $22.40 and $34.89 an hour. BLS counts 1,040 of them working in the area, 46.6 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 48.7), so the local bench is about average.
For general maintenance and repair workers (49-9071, weighted 20%) the local median is $22.67 an hour, which is 5% below the national $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $18.67 and $28.36 an hour. BLS counts 2,430 of them working in the area, 109.0 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 98.4), so the local bench is about 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 $40. That is a swing of roughly 2.1% to 4.0% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
Springfield has 223,030 jobs in total (BLS, May 2025), ranking 108th by size among the 300 metros on this site.

The best months for garage door in Springfield
Climate numbers on this page come from NOAA's 1991-2020 U.S. Climate Normals at the nearest suitable station, Springfield Wbo (in the city). They are 30-year averages, so any one year can run hotter, colder or wetter.
For exterior installation, the comfortable months in Springfield are February through December: 11 of 12. Outside them, January has an average daytime high under 45°F.
In January 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.
Springfield gets about 47 inches of precipitation in a normal year. The wettest months are April, May and June (6.0 inches in May). Inside the workable window, February and December are the driest, at 2.4 and 2.6 inches. The station averages about 38 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.
