New Hampshire seasons and patio door
Weather decides when exterior installation can happen, and New Hampshire 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.
Manchester has 9 comfortable months (March through November), with about 40 inches of precipitation a year.
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.

New Hampshire labor market for patio door
New Hampshire'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 1.02 times the national level.
Carpenters (47-2031), 60% of the weighting: a median of $29.42 an hour, in line with the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $24.12 and $35.46 an hour. About 3,760 work in the state. That is 55.0 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 43.1 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
Glaziers (47-2121), 30% of the weighting: a median of $28.29 an hour, 3% above the US median of $27.44. The middle half of them earn between $23.89 and $30.18 an hour. About 150 work in the state. That is 2.2 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 3.8 nationally, so expect fewer local crews to bid.
For general maintenance and repair workers (49-9071, weighted 10%) the local median is $25.40 an hour, which is 7% above the national $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $21.90 and $30.12 an hour. BLS counts 5,780 of them working in the state, 84.6 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 98.4), so the local bench is about average.
A crew paid at the 75th percentile for carpenters ($35.46 an hour) would add about $200 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($24.12) 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 683,290 jobs across New Hampshire (May 2025), which is 0.4% of US employment.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |

New Hampshire metro-by-metro prices

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Manchester, NH | $600 – $6,000 | $3,300 | level |

Base prices are national ranges from the sources below. We scale labor by local BLS wages, materials by BEA goods prices and permits by the BEA all-items price level. Full method on the methodology page.

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.
