Spokane weather and the gutters calendar
Climate numbers on this page come from NOAA's 1991-2020 U.S. Climate Normals at the nearest suitable station, Spokane Felts Fld (5 miles from the city center). They are 30-year averages, so any one year can run hotter, colder or wetter.
For exterior installation, the comfortable months in Spokane are March through November: 9 of 12. Outside them, January, February and December have an average daytime high under 45°F.
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.
Spokane gets about 17 inches of precipitation in a normal year. The wettest months are January, November and December (2.2 inches in December). Inside the workable window, July and August are the driest, at 0.7 and 0.5 inches. The station averages about 29 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.

What local crews earn in Spokane
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 Spokane the blend is 1.14.
Sheet metal workers (47-2211), 40% of the weighting: a median of $36.58 an hour, 23% above the US median of $29.71. The middle half of them earn between $27.77 and $48.15 an hour. About 190 work in the metro. That is 7.4 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 $28.23 an hour, 6% above the US median of $26.65. The middle half of them earn between $23.34 and $36.54 an hour. About 420 work in the metro. That is 16.4 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 $24.53 an hour, which is 8% above the national $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $21.24 and $31.37 an hour. BLS counts 1,700 of them working in the area, 66.5 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 $160 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $120. That is a swing of roughly 4.2% to 5.5% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
