Climate in Coeur d'Alene: timing your patio door job
We use NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals for Coeur D'Alene (in the city). These are 30-year monthly averages, not forecasts.
March through October is the stretch where exterior installation runs into the fewest weather problems in Coeur d'Alene (8 of 12 months). January, February, November and December have an average daytime high under 45°F.
In January, February, November and December the average high stays below 45°F. Sealants, adhesives and some materials, such as vinyl, are harder to install well in the cold, and short daylight cuts the working day.
Coeur d'Alene gets about 25 inches of precipitation in a normal year. The wettest months are January, November and December (3.5 inches in December). Inside the workable window, July and August are the driest, at 0.7 and 0.8 inches. The station averages about 18 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.

Coeur d'Alene labor market for patio door
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 Coeur d'Alene is 0.98 times the national level.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 60%) the local median is $27.00 an hour, which is 7% below the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $23.14 and $30.11 an hour. BLS counts 790 of them working in the area, 109.3 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 $29.61 an hour, which is 8% above the national $27.44. The middle half of them earn between $24.10 and $34.00 an hour. BLS counts 50 of them working in the area, 6.9 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 $22.96 an hour, 4% below the US median of $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $19.56 and $27.78 an hour. About 790 work in the metro. That is 109.3 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 98.4 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.
Quotes come from real crews, not medians. If the carpenters on your job are paid at the 75th percentile ($30.11 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $100. At the 25th percentile ($23.14) it shrinks by about $130. The total moves by 3.2% or 4.0%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.
For context on the local economy, BLS counts 72,280 jobs in the Coeur d'Alene area. That makes it the 254th largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.05% of US employment.

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.
