Wages behind the Mississippi number
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 0.76 for Mississippi.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 60%) the local median is $23.39 an hour, which is 20% below the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $18.47 and $25.23 an hour. BLS counts 2,950 of them working in the state, 25.4 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 43.1), so the local bench is thinner than average.
For glaziers (47-2121, weighted 30%) the local median is $17.67 an hour, which is 36% below the national $27.44. The middle half of them earn between $16.87 and $22.11 an hour. BLS counts 820 of them working in the state, 7.1 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 $21.32 an hour, 11% below the US median of $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $16.85 and $26.97 an hour. About 14,550 work in the state. That is 125.1 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 ($25.23 an hour) would add about $60 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($18.47) would take off about $160. Use that as a rough guide to how far a bid can sit from our midpoint on wages alone.
BLS counts 1,163,030 jobs across Mississippi (May 2025), which is 0.7% of US employment.

Weather windows across Mississippi
Season matters for patio door. For each Mississippi metro below we took NOAA's 1991-2020 monthly normals from the nearest suitable station and counted comfortable months for exterior installation.
Gulfport has the longest comfortable season of the metros we cover in Mississippi at 10 months (September through June); Hattiesburg has the shortest at 9 (September through May). Rainfall runs from 51 inches a year in Jackson to 63 inches in Gulfport.
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.

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.
