What is behind the Orlando number
Labor is 45% of the midpoint bill here, against 48% nationally. The mix of trades behind this job is carpenters (60%), glaziers (30%), general maintenance and repair workers (10%). We weight each trade's local median wage by that share and compare it with the national median. In Orlando the blended ratio comes out at 0.83.
Materials are scaled with BEA's regional price parity for goods. Orlando 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 101.4: $0 to $0.
Why two Orlando quotes can differ
Glass
Low-E, tempered and hurricane-rated glass cost more than basic single-pane glass.
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.
Orlando weather and the patio door calendar
Climate numbers on this page come from NOAA's 1991-2020 U.S. Climate Normals at the nearest suitable station, Orlando Intl Ap (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 Orlando are October through May: 8 of 12. Outside them, June, July, August and September have an average daytime high of 90°F or more.
Orlando gets about 51 inches of precipitation in a normal year. The wettest months are June, July and August (8.1 inches in June). Inside the workable window, February and November are the driest, at 2.0 and 1.8 inches. The station averages about 110 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 Orlando
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 Orlando the blend is 0.83.
Carpenters (47-2031), 60% of the weighting: a median of $23.92 an hour, 18% below the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $21.13 and $28.25 an hour. About 5,360 work in the metro. That is 38.0 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 43.1 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.
Glaziers (47-2121), 30% of the weighting: a median of $22.72 an hour, 17% below the US median of $27.44. The middle half of them earn between $18.97 and $28.33 an hour. About 650 work in the metro. That is 4.6 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 $22.15 an hour, which is 7% below the national $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $18.25 and $25.94 an hour. BLS counts 16,380 of them working in the area, 116.0 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 $90. That is a swing of roughly 3.1% to 4.8% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford has 1,411,730 jobs in total (BLS, May 2025), ranking 20th by size among the 300 metros on this site.
