Who does the work: Vallejo 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 Vallejo the blend is 1.16.
Sheet metal workers (47-2211), 40% of the weighting: a median of $31.61 an hour, 6% above the US median of $29.71. The middle half of them earn between $24.46 and $38.24 an hour. About 120 work in the metro. That is 8.3 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 7.7 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.
Roofers (47-2181), 30% of the weighting: a median of $29.85 an hour, 12% above the US median of $26.65. The middle half of them earn between $29.48 and $37.51 an hour. About 650 work in the metro. That is 45.1 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 8.7 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
For construction laborers (47-2061, weighted 30%) the local median is $30.05 an hour, which is 33% above the national $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $24.06 and $37.35 an hour. BLS counts 1,080 of them working in the area, 74.9 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 70.5), so the local bench is about average.
A quick sensitivity check: moving the lead trade (sheet metal workers) from the median to the 75th percentile wage adds about $95 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $100. That is a swing of roughly 3.3% to 3.1% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
Vallejo has 144,130 jobs in total (BLS, May 2025), ranking 158th by size among the 300 metros on this site.

The best months for gutters in Vallejo
Climate numbers on this page come from NOAA's 1991-2020 U.S. Climate Normals at the nearest suitable station, Napa Co Ap (5 miles from the city center). They are 30-year averages, so any one year can run hotter, colder or wetter.
Weather is not a serious constraint for exterior installation in Vallejo: no month in the averages is cold enough (an average daytime high under 45°F) or hot enough (an average daytime high of 90°F or more) to rule it out, so the workable window is all year.
Vallejo gets about 20 inches of precipitation in a normal year. The wettest months are January, February and December (4.2 inches in January). The station averages about 16 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.
