What is behind the Yuma number
We price the labor side from BLS wage data for 3 trades: carpenters at 60%, glaziers at 30%, general maintenance and repair workers at 10%. Weighted together, Yuma wages are 0.86 times the national level. Labor makes up about 46% of the midpoint estimate (48% at national prices).
Materials are scaled with BEA's regional price parity for goods. Yuma is at 96.2 against 100 for the US, so a materials line of $1,700 nationally becomes $1,650 here (midpoint, 1 door). Permits follow the all-items index of 92.7: $0 to $0.
Data note: 30% of the labor weighting for this project uses a statewide median because BLS has no published metro figure for that trade in Yuma. The wage table below marks each row.

Who does the work: Yuma trade wages
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 Yuma the blend is 0.86.
Carpenters (47-2031), 60% of the weighting: a median of $23.04 an hour, 21% below the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $18.42 and $27.42 an hour. About 260 work in the metro. That is 37.7 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 43.1 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.
Glaziers (47-2121) carry 30% of the labor weighting. BLS does not publish this trade for the Yuma metro, so we used the Arizona statewide median: $27.19 an hour against $27.44 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $23.41 and $28.92 an hour.
For general maintenance and repair workers (49-9071, weighted 10%) the local median is $20.73 an hour, which is 13% below the national $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $17.24 and $25.11 an hour. BLS counts 1,000 of them working in the area, 145.2 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 98.4), so the local bench is deeper than average.
A quick sensitivity check: moving the lead trade (carpenters) from the median to the 75th percentile wage adds about $140 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $150. That is a swing of roughly 5.1% to 4.8% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
Yuma has 68,880 jobs in total (BLS, May 2025), ranking 262nd by size among the 300 metros on this site.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carpenters (47-2031) | 60% | $18.42 | $23.04 | $27.42 | $29.12 | 0.79 | metro |

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.
