The wage side of the estimate leans on carpenters, who do 60% of the hours on a typical job. Their local median is $25.00 an hour. Add the other trades involved and the blended wage index for Springfield is 0.88 (US = 1.00), which puts labor at 47% of the total.
Materials are scaled with BEA's regional price parity for goods. Springfield is at 94.2 against 100 for the US, so a materials line of $1,700 nationally becomes $1,600 here (midpoint, 1 door). Permits follow the all-items index of 88.6: $0 to $0.
Data note: 30% of the labor weighting for this project uses a statewide median because BLS has no published metro figure for that trade in Springfield. The wage table below marks each row.

Springfield weather and the patio door calendar
Climate numbers on this page come from NOAA's 1991-2020 U.S. Climate Normals at the nearest suitable station, Springfield Wbo (in the city). They are 30-year averages, so any one year can run hotter, colder or wetter.
For exterior installation, the comfortable months in Springfield are February through December: 11 of 12. Outside them, January has an average daytime high under 45°F.
In January 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.
Springfield gets about 47 inches of precipitation in a normal year. The wettest months are April, May and June (6.0 inches in May). Inside the workable window, February and December are the driest, at 2.4 and 2.6 inches. The station averages about 38 days a year at 90°F or above.
We do not adjust the estimate by month, because we have no reliable published data on seasonal pricing. It is still worth asking contractors whether an off-peak start date changes their bid.

What local crews earn in Springfield
The labor line is built from BLS wage data, one trade at a time. This job draws on 3 trades. We compare each trade's local median with the US median, weight the ratios by how much of the job each trade does, and apply the blend to the national labor cost. For Springfield the blend is 0.88.
Carpenters (47-2031), 60% of the weighting: a median of $25.00 an hour, 14% below the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $21.89 and $31.04 an hour. About 920 work in the metro. That is 41.3 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 43.1 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.
Glaziers (47-2121) carry 30% of the labor weighting. BLS does not publish this trade for the Springfield metro, so we used the Missouri statewide median: $24.73 an hour against $27.44 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $17.98 and $34.46 an hour.
For general maintenance and repair workers (49-9071, weighted 10%) the local median is $22.67 an hour, which is 5% below the national $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $18.67 and $28.36 an hour. BLS counts 2,430 of them working in the area, 109.0 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 98.4), so the local bench is about average.
A quick sensitivity check: moving the lead trade (carpenters) from the median to the 75th percentile wage adds about $200 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $100. That is a swing of roughly 3.4% to 6.6% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
Springfield has 223,030 jobs in total (BLS, May 2025), ranking 108th by size among the 300 metros on this site.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |
