Local wages behind the labor line
Wages are the part of this estimate that changes most from town to town. 3 trades carry the job here, and each is compared with its US median. The weighted result for Kahului is 1.37 times the national level.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 60%) the local median is $39.47 an hour, which is 36% above the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $30.77 and $48.89 an hour. BLS counts 700 of them working in the area, 94.9 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 43.1), so the local bench is deeper than average.
Glaziers (47-2121) carry 30% of the labor weighting. BLS does not publish this trade for the Kahului metro, so we used the Hawaii statewide median: $38.85 an hour against $27.44 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $29.04 and $48.30 an hour.
General maintenance and repair workers (49-9071), 10% of the weighting: a median of $30.76 an hour, 29% above the US median of $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $27.16 and $38.06 an hour. About 1,350 work in the metro. That is 183.1 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 98.4 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
Quotes come from real crews, not medians. If the carpenters on your job are paid at the 75th percentile ($48.89 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $310. At the 25th percentile ($30.77) it shrinks by about $290. The total moves by 7.6% or 7.0%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.
For context on the local economy, BLS counts 73,750 jobs in the Kahului-Wailuku area. That makes it the 250th largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.05% of US employment.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carpenters (47-2031) | 60% | $30.77 | $39.47 | $48.89 | $29.12 | 1.36 | metro |

When to schedule patio door in Kahului
We use NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals for Kahului Ap (5 miles from the city center). These are 30-year monthly averages, not forecasts.
October through July is the stretch where exterior installation runs into the fewest weather problems in Kahului (10 of 12 months). August and September have an average daytime high of 90°F or more.
Kahului gets about 16 inches of precipitation in a normal year. The wettest months are January, March and December (2.8 inches in December). Inside the workable window, June and July are the driest, at 0.2 and 0.5 inches. The station averages about 39 days a year at 90°F or above.
Does the season change the price? Probably, but we do not have a sourced seasonal price curve, so the estimator shows a year-round figure and does not adjust by month. When you collect quotes, ask whether scheduling in a slower month gets a better rate.
