What is behind the Redding 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, Redding wages are 1.14 times the national level. Labor makes up about 51% of the midpoint estimate (48% at national prices).
Materials are scaled with BEA's regional price parity for goods. Redding is at 105.2 against 100 for the US, so a materials line of $1,700 nationally becomes $1,800 here (midpoint, 1 door). Permits follow the all-items index of 100.7: $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 Redding. The wage table below marks each row.

Climate numbers on this page come from NOAA's 1991-2020 U.S. Climate Normals at the nearest suitable station, Redding Muni Ap (5 miles from the city center). They are 30-year averages, so any one year can run hotter, colder or wetter.

What local crews earn in Redding
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 Redding the blend is 1.14.
Carpenters (47-2031), 60% of the weighting: a median of $34.50 an hour, 18% above the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $28.08 and $38.06 an hour. About 310 work in the metro. That is 43.3 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 Redding metro, so we used the California statewide median: $30.79 an hour against $27.44 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $27.69 and $44.25 an hour.
For general maintenance and repair workers (49-9071, weighted 10%) the local median is $22.99 an hour, which is 4% below the national $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $20.28 and $29.29 an hour. BLS counts 690 of them working in the area, 96.4 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 98.4), so the local bench is about average.
A quick sensitivity check: moving the lead trade (carpenters) from the median to the 75th percentile wage adds about $120 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $210. That is a swing of roughly 5.8% to 3.2% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
Redding has 71,550 jobs in total (BLS, May 2025), ranking 257th by size among the 300 metros on this site.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |
