Wages behind the Missouri 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 0.97 for Missouri.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 60%) the local median is $29.25 an hour, which is in line with the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $22.85 and $38.74 an hour. BLS counts 14,410 of them working in the state, 49.1 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 43.1), so the local bench is about average.
For glaziers (47-2121, weighted 30%) the local median is $24.73 an hour, which is 10% below the national $27.44. The middle half of them earn between $17.98 and $34.46 an hour. BLS counts 630 of them working in the state, 2.1 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 3.8), so the local bench is thinner than average.
General maintenance and repair workers (49-9071), 10% of the weighting: a median of $23.26 an hour, in line with the US median of $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $19.19 and $29.54 an hour. About 31,180 work in the state. That is 106.2 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 98.4 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.
A crew paid at the 75th percentile for carpenters ($38.74 an hour) would add about $310 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($22.85) would take off about $210. Use that as a rough guide to how far a bid can sit from our midpoint on wages alone.
BLS counts 2,936,050 jobs across Missouri (May 2025), which is 1.9% of US employment.

When Missouri weather lets you install
Season matters for patio door. For each Missouri metro below we took NOAA's 1991-2020 monthly normals from the nearest suitable station and counted comfortable months for exterior installation.
Springfield has the longest comfortable season of the metros we cover in Missouri at 11 months (February through December); Kansas City has the shortest at 9 (February through June and August through November). Rainfall runs from 38 inches a year in Kansas City to 47 inches in Springfield.
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.
