Climate in Ogden: timing your gutters job
We use NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals for Ogden Hinkley Ap (5 miles from the city center). These are 30-year monthly averages, not forecasts.
March through June and August through November are the stretches where exterior installation runs into the fewest weather problems in Ogden (8 of 12 months). January, February and December have an average daytime high under 45°F; July has an average daytime high of 90°F or more.
In January, February 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.
Ogden gets about 16 inches of precipitation in a normal year. The wettest months are March, April and May (2.2 inches in May). Inside the workable window, August and September are the driest, at 0.7 and 1.1 inches. The station averages about 49 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.

Ogden 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 Ogden is 1.00 times the national level.
For sheet metal workers (47-2211, weighted 40%) the local median is $31.38 an hour, which is 6% above the national $29.71. The middle half of them earn between $27.64 and $35.14 an hour. BLS counts 710 of them working in the area, 26.2 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 7.7), so the local bench is deeper than average.
For roofers (47-2181, weighted 30%) the local median is $24.86 an hour, which is 7% below the national $26.65. The middle half of them earn between $21.64 and $29.96 an hour. BLS counts 510 of them working in the area, 18.8 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 8.7), so the local bench is deeper than average.
Construction laborers (47-2061), 30% of the weighting: a median of $22.31 an hour, in line with the US median of $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $18.74 and $26.80 an hour. About 3,140 work in the metro. That is 115.7 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 70.5 nationally, which suggests plenty of 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 ($35.14 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $55. At the 25th percentile ($27.64) it shrinks by about $50. The total moves by 2.0% or 2.0%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.
For context on the local economy, BLS counts 271,370 jobs in the Ogden area. That makes it the 95th largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.17% of US employment.
