Tyler labor market for gutters
Wages are the part of this estimate that changes most from town to town. 3 trades carry the job here, and each is compared with its US median. The weighted result for Tyler is 0.80 times the national level.
For sheet metal workers (47-2211, weighted 40%) the local median is $23.47 an hour, which is 21% below the national $29.71. The middle half of them earn between $20.99 and $24.03 an hour. BLS counts 80 of them working in the area, 6.9 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 7.7), so the local bench is about average.
For roofers (47-2181, weighted 30%) the local median is $21.97 an hour, which is 18% below the national $26.65. The middle half of them earn between $17.89 and $23.52 an hour. BLS counts 60 of them working in the area, 5.2 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 8.7), so the local bench is thinner than average.
Construction laborers (47-2061), 30% of the weighting: a median of $18.13 an hour, 20% below the US median of $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $16.50 and $21.54 an hour. About 650 work in the metro. That is 56.4 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 70.5 nationally, so expect fewer local crews to bid.
Quotes come from real crews, not medians. If the sheet metal workers on your job are paid at the 75th percentile ($24.03 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $10. At the 25th percentile ($20.99) it shrinks by about $35. The total moves by 0.3% or 1.4%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.
For context on the local economy, BLS counts 115,220 jobs in the Tyler area. That makes it the 189th largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.07% of US employment.

Climate in Tyler: timing your gutters job
We use NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals for Tyler (in the city). These are 30-year monthly averages, not forecasts.
September through May is the stretch where exterior installation runs into the fewest weather problems in Tyler (9 of 12 months). June, July and August have an average daytime high of 90°F or more.
Tyler gets about 48 inches of precipitation in a normal year. The wettest months are June, October and December (4.8 inches in June). Inside the workable window, September and November are the driest, at 3.2 and 3.8 inches. The station averages about 96 days a year at 90°F or above.
Does the season change the price? Probably, but we do not have a sourced seasonal price curve, so the estimator shows a year-round figure and does not adjust by month. When you collect quotes, ask whether scheduling in a slower month gets a better rate.
