Weather windows across Arizona
Weather decides when exterior installation can happen, and Arizona is not uniform. The table uses NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals from the weather station nearest each metro we cover, and counts the months that are neither cold nor hot enough to complicate the job.
Prescott Valley has the longest comfortable season of the metros we cover in Arizona at 11 months (August through June); Yuma has the shortest at 6 (November through April). Rainfall runs from 3 inches a year in Yuma to 21 inches in Flagstaff.
We do not adjust prices by month, because we have no reliable published data on seasonal pricing. Timing is still worth raising when you collect bids.
| Metro | Jan avg low °F | Jul avg high °F | Precip (in/yr) | Comfortable months |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Phoenix | 44 | 104 | 9 | 7: October through April |
| Tucson | 41 | 100 | 11 | 7: October through April |
| Prescott Valley | 26 | 90 | 13 | 11: August through June |
| Yuma | 48 | 107 | 3 | 6: November through April |
| Flagstaff | 18 | 82 | 21 | 10: February through November |

Why two Arizona quotes can differ
Door type
Sliding glass doors run $1,200-$4,000 installed; exterior French doors $1,300-$5,500; telescoping doors $1,500-$5,000 (HomeGuide).
New opening versus replacement
Cutting a new opening in a wall adds framing, header and finish work compared with a like-for-like swap.
Old door removal
Removing and disposing of the old door is $100-$500 extra.
Glass
Low-E, tempered and hurricane-rated glass cost more than basic single-pane glass.
Which Arizona city is cheapest for patio door?
1 of the 6 metros sit above the statewide midpoint of $3,200, and the top-to-bottom gap is 8%. Each row prices the default size with that metro's own BLS wages and BEA price levels, so the gap between rows is real local variation rather than a flat markup.
| Metro | Range (1 door) | Midpoint | vs. state |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phoenix, AZ | $580 – $5,850 | $3,200 | +1% |
| Prescott Valley, AZ | $570 – $5,750 | $3,150 | −1% |
| Flagstaff, AZ | $570 – $5,750 | $3,150 | −1% |
| Yuma, AZ | $560 – $5,450 | $3,000 | −5% |
| Lake Havasu City, AZ | $560 – $5,450 | $3,000 | −6% |
| Tucson, AZ | $550 – $5,400 | $2,950 | −7% |

Wages behind the Arizona number
Arizona's labor line is priced from 3 trades, each compared with its US median wage. After weighting by each trade's share of the work, the state comes out at 0.97 times the national level.
Carpenters (47-2031), 60% of the weighting: a median of $28.17 an hour, 3% below the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $23.02 and $33.57 an hour. About 16,230 work in the state. That is 50.1 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 43.1 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
Glaziers (47-2121), 30% of the weighting: a median of $27.19 an hour, in line with the US median of $27.44. The middle half of them earn between $23.41 and $28.92 an hour. About 2,370 work in the state. That is 7.3 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 3.8 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
For general maintenance and repair workers (49-9071, weighted 10%) the local median is $22.90 an hour, which is 4% below the national $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $19.00 and $29.15 an hour. BLS counts 39,000 of them working in the state, 120.4 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 98.4), so the local bench is deeper than average.
A crew paid at the 75th percentile for carpenters ($33.57 an hour) would add about $180 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($23.02) would take off about $170. Use that as a rough guide to how far a bid can sit from our midpoint on wages alone.
BLS counts 3,239,430 jobs across Arizona (May 2025), which is 2.1% of US employment.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carpenters (47-2031) | 60% | $23.02 | $28.17 | $33.57 | $29.12 | 0.97 | state |
| Glaziers (47-2121) | 30% | $23.41 | $27.19 | $28.92 | $27.44 | 0.99 | state |
| General maintenance and repair workers (49-9071) | 10% | $19.00 | $22.90 | $29.15 | $23.84 | 0.96 | state |

Note on derived figures: Materials = HomeGuide's $400-$3,000 for the sliding door itself, matched to the lower part of the $600-$6,000 installed range; labor is the remainder and sits above HomeGuide's $200-$1,000 labor-only figure because the installed range also covers trim, flashing and haul-away.
