Who does the work: Provo 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 Provo the blend is 0.92.
Carpenters (47-2031), 60% of the weighting: a median of $25.59 an hour, 12% below the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $21.92 and $29.39 an hour. About 3,080 work in the metro. That is 101.1 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 $29.26 an hour, which is 4% below the national $30.38. The middle half of them earn between $22.89 and $37.29 an hour. BLS counts 2,080 of them working in the area, 68.3 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 $23.55 an hour, which is in line with the national $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $18.72 and $28.70 an hour. BLS counts 2,500 of them working in the area, 82.1 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 $50 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $50. That is a swing of roughly 2.3% to 2.4% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
Provo-Orem-Lehi has 304,660 jobs in total (BLS, May 2025), ranking 84th by size among the 300 metros on this site.

The best months for garage door in Provo
Climate numbers on this page come from NOAA's 1991-2020 U.S. Climate Normals at the nearest suitable station, Provo Byu (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 Provo are February through June and September through November: 8 of 12. Outside them, January and December have an average daytime high under 45°F, and July and August have an average daytime high of 90°F or more.
In January 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.
Provo gets about 17 inches of precipitation in a normal year, including roughly 45 inches of snow. The wettest months are January, April and May (2.0 inches in May). Inside the workable window, June and September are the driest, at 0.9 and 1.2 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.
