When to schedule gutters in St. George
We use NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals for St George (5 miles from the city center). These are 30-year monthly averages, not forecasts.
October through May is the stretch where exterior installation runs into the fewest weather problems in St. George (8 of 12 months). June, July, August and September have an average daytime high of 90°F or more.
St. George gets about 9 inches of precipitation in a normal year, including roughly 1 inches of snow. The wettest months are January, February and August (1.4 inches in February). Inside the workable window, April and May are the driest, at 0.7 and 0.3 inches. The station averages about 128 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.

Local wages behind the labor line
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 St. George is 0.88 times the national level.
For sheet metal workers (47-2211, weighted 40%) the local median is $23.51 an hour, which is 21% below the national $29.71. The middle half of them earn between $22.49 and $29.83 an hour. BLS counts 60 of them working in the area, 6.6 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 $23.86 an hour, which is 10% below the national $26.65. The middle half of them earn between $20.75 and $30.31 an hour. BLS counts 260 of them working in the area, 28.7 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 $21.96 an hour, 3% below the US median of $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $18.37 and $23.78 an hour. About 1,500 work in the metro. That is 165.7 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 ($29.83 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $90. At the 25th percentile ($22.49) it shrinks by about $15. The total moves by 3.5% or 0.6%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.
For context on the local economy, BLS counts 90,500 jobs in the St. George area. That makes it the 219th largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.06% of US employment.
