Nevada labor market for patio door
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 0.98 for Nevada.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 60%) the local median is $29.99 an hour, which is in line with the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $24.25 and $39.13 an hour. BLS counts 12,700 of them working in the state, 81.9 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 $23.80 an hour, which is 13% below the national $27.44. The middle half of them earn between $22.31 and $29.48 an hour. BLS counts 730 of them working in the state, 4.7 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 $25.17 an hour, 6% above the US median of $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $21.03 and $33.70 an hour. About 16,520 work in the state. That is 106.5 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 ($39.13 an hour) would add about $300 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($24.25) would take off about $190. Use that as a rough guide to how far a bid can sit from our midpoint on wages alone.
BLS counts 1,551,540 jobs across Nevada (May 2025), which is 1.0% 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.
