The best months for garage door in Texarkana
Climate numbers on this page come from NOAA's 1991-2020 U.S. Climate Normals at the nearest suitable station, Texarkana (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 Texarkana are September through June: 10 of 12. Outside them, July and August have an average daytime high of 90°F or more.
Texarkana gets about 52 inches of precipitation in a normal year, including roughly 2 inches of snow. The wettest months are April, May and December (5.3 inches in May). Inside the workable window, January and September are the driest, at 4.3 and 3.9 inches. The station averages about 82 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: Texarkana 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 Texarkana the blend is 0.77.
Carpenters (47-2031), 60% of the weighting: a median of $20.51 an hour, 30% below the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $17.41 and $23.92 an hour. About 90 work in the metro. That is 15.6 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 $27.95 an hour, which is 8% below the national $30.38. The middle half of them earn between $21.08 and $35.09 an hour. BLS counts 390 of them working in the area, 67.7 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 $19.25 an hour, which is 19% below the national $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $15.39 and $23.96 an hour. BLS counts 570 of them working in the area, 99.0 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 $45 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $40. That is a swing of roughly 2.1% to 2.4% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
Texarkana has 57,580 jobs in total (BLS, May 2025), ranking 296th by size among the 300 metros on this site.
