Hawaii labor market for patio door
Statewide wages come from BLS's state-level estimates, which blend big cities with small towns and rural areas. 3 trades drive the labor line for this job, and the weighted ratio against the national wage level is 1.39 for Hawaii.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 60%) the local median is $41.00 an hour, which is 41% above the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $31.91 and $53.36 an hour. BLS counts 4,810 of them working in the state, 76.6 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 43.1), so the local bench is deeper than average.
For glaziers (47-2121, weighted 30%) the local median is $38.85 an hour, which is 42% above the national $27.44. The middle half of them earn between $29.04 and $48.30 an hour. BLS counts 280 of them working in the state, 4.5 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 3.8), so the local bench is deeper than average.
General maintenance and repair workers (49-9071), 10% of the weighting: a median of $27.86 an hour, 17% above the US median of $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $22.54 and $34.84 an hour. About 8,030 work in the state. That is 128.0 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 98.4 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
A crew paid at the 75th percentile for carpenters ($53.36 an hour) would add about $410 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($31.91) would take off about $300. Use that as a rough guide to how far a bid can sit from our midpoint on wages alone.
BLS counts 627,530 jobs across Hawaii (May 2025), which is 0.4% of US employment.

When Hawaii weather lets you install
Season matters for patio door. For each Hawaii metro below we took NOAA's 1991-2020 monthly normals from the nearest suitable station and counted comfortable months for exterior installation.
Honolulu has the longest comfortable season of the metros we cover in Hawaii at 12 months; Kahului has the shortest at 10 (October through July). Rainfall runs from 16 inches a year in Kahului to 16 inches in Honolulu.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Honolulu | 67 | 88 | 16 | 12: all year |
| Kahului | 64 | 89 | 16 | 10: October through July |

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.
