What carpenters and the other trades earn in Maryland
Maryland's labor line is priced from 3 trades, each compared with its US median wage. After weighting by each trade's share of the work, the state comes out at 1.04 times the national level.
Carpenters (47-2031), 60% of the weighting: a median of $30.27 an hour, 4% above the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $25.11 and $36.93 an hour. About 9,770 work in the state. That is 35.4 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 43.1 nationally, so expect fewer local crews to bid.
Glaziers (47-2121), 30% of the weighting: a median of $28.79 an hour, 5% above the US median of $27.44. The middle half of them earn between $23.50 and $35.04 an hour. About 1,820 work in the state. That is 6.6 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 $24.76 an hour, which is 4% above the national $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $21.16 and $30.02 an hour. BLS counts 23,730 of them working in the state, 85.9 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 98.4), so the local bench is about average.
A crew paid at the 75th percentile for carpenters ($36.93 an hour) would add about $220 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($25.11) would take off about $170. Use that as a rough guide to how far a bid can sit from our midpoint on wages alone.
BLS counts 2,763,030 jobs across Maryland (May 2025), which is 1.8% of US employment.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carpenters (47-2031) | 60% | $25.11 | $30.27 | $36.93 | $29.12 | 1.04 | state |
| Glaziers (47-2121) | 30% | $23.50 | $28.79 | $35.04 | $27.44 | 1.05 | state |

Basic, standard or premium: Maryland prices
Bands overlap on purpose, since a good standard job can cost as much as a light premium one. Below are the three bands for the default size, then a grid from one sliding door to two doors.
Basic
$620 to $2,850
Standard vinyl slider, same opening
Standard
$2,300 to $4,550
Wider slider or French door with better glass
Premium
$3,950 to $6,200
Multi-panel or custom door, new opening
| Size | Basic | Standard | Premium |
|---|---|---|---|
| one sliding door | $620 – $2,850 | $2,300 – $4,550 | $3,950 – $6,200 |
| two doors | $1,250 – $5,700 | $4,600 – $9,050 | $7,950 – $12,400 |
Why two Maryland quotes can differ
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.
Old door removal
Removing and disposing of the old door is $100-$500 extra.
Glass
Low-E, tempered and hurricane-rated glass cost more than basic single-pane glass.

Other Maryland jobs that often go with patio door

| Window replacement | 10 windows | $4,650 – $15,400 | +3% |

When Maryland weather lets you install
Weather decides when exterior installation can happen, and Maryland is not uniform. The table uses NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals from the weather station nearest each metro we cover, and counts the months that are neither cold nor hot enough to complicate the job.
Lexington Park has the longest comfortable season of the metros we cover in Maryland at 12 months; Hagerstown has the shortest at 9 (March through November). Rainfall runs from 44 inches a year in Hagerstown to 45 inches in Lexington Park.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Baltimore | 30 | 90 | 44 | 10: February through June and August through December |
| Hagerstown | 22 | 86 | 44 | 9: March through November |
| Lexington Park | 30 | 87 | 45 | 12: all year |
Which Maryland city is cheapest for patio door?
0 of the 3 metros sit above the statewide midpoint of $3,400, and the top-to-bottom gap is 8%. Each row prices the default size with that metro's own BLS wages and BEA price levels, so the gap between rows is real local variation rather than a flat markup.
| Metro | Range (1 door) | Midpoint | vs. state |
|---|---|---|---|
| Baltimore, MD | $620 – $6,150 | $3,400 | −1% |
| Lexington Park, MD | $610 – $6,100 | $3,350 | −1% |
| Hagerstown, MD | $580 – $5,750 | $3,150 | −8% |

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.
