Climate numbers on this page come from NOAA's 1991-2020 U.S. Climate Normals at the nearest suitable station, Tulsa Intl 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 Tulsa are September through June: 10 of 12. Outside them, July and August have an average daytime high of 90°F or more.
Tulsa gets about 41 inches of precipitation in a normal year, including roughly 9 inches of snow. The wettest months are April, May and June (5.7 inches in May). Inside the workable window, January and February are the driest, at 1.6 and 1.6 inches. The station averages about 74 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.

Who does the work: Tulsa 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 Tulsa the blend is 0.85.
Carpenters (47-2031), 60% of the weighting: a median of $22.51 an hour, 23% below the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $20.30 and $25.03 an hour. About 1,320 work in the metro. That is 28.8 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 43.1 nationally, so expect fewer local crews to bid.
For electricians (47-2111, weighted 20%) the local median is $29.94 an hour, which is in line with the national $30.38. The middle half of them earn between $23.40 and $37.18 an hour. BLS counts 2,750 of them working in the area, 59.9 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 $22.00 an hour, which is 8% below the national $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $17.86 and $27.93 an hour. BLS counts 4,340 of them working in the area, 94.6 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 $35 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $30. That is a swing of roughly 1.5% to 1.7% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
Tulsa has 458,730 jobs in total (BLS, May 2025), ranking 54th by size among the 300 metros on this site.
