Where the Binghamton price comes from
Labor is 49% of the midpoint bill here, against 48% nationally. The mix of trades behind this job is carpenters (60%), glaziers (30%), general maintenance and repair workers (10%). We weight each trade's local median wage by that share and compare it with the national median. In Binghamton the blended ratio comes out at 1.04.
On the materials line, the BEA goods price index for the Binghamton metro is 99.7 (US = 100). The midpoint materials bill for 1 door comes to $1,700, compared with $1,700 at national prices. Permit and inspection fees are scaled by the broader index (92.9) and land at $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 Binghamton. The wage table below marks each row.

When to schedule patio door in Binghamton
We use NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals for Binghamton (10 miles from the city center). These are 30-year monthly averages, not forecasts.
April through November is the stretch where exterior installation runs into the fewest weather problems in Binghamton (8 of 12 months). January, February, March and December have an average daytime high under 45°F.
In January, February, March and December 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.
Binghamton gets about 42 inches of precipitation in a normal year, including roughly 87 inches of snow. The wettest months are June, August and September (4.7 inches in June). Inside the workable window, April and November are the driest, at 3.6 and 3.1 inches. The station averages about 2 days a year at 90°F or above.
Does the season change the price? Probably, but we do not have a sourced seasonal price curve, so the estimator shows a year-round figure and does not adjust by month. When you collect quotes, ask whether scheduling in a slower month gets a better rate.

Local wages behind the labor line
Wages are the part of this estimate that changes most from town to town. 3 trades carry the job here, and each is compared with its US median. The weighted result for Binghamton is 1.04 times the national level.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 60%) the local median is $29.81 an hour, which is in line with the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $24.27 and $36.54 an hour. BLS counts 400 of them working in the area, 41.2 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 43.1), so the local bench is about average.
Glaziers (47-2121) carry 30% of the labor weighting. BLS does not publish this trade for the Binghamton metro, so we used the New York statewide median: $29.69 an hour against $27.44 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $24.76 and $37.17 an hour.
General maintenance and repair workers (49-9071), 10% of the weighting: a median of $23.66 an hour, in line with the US median of $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $20.02 and $28.43 an hour. About 1,130 work in the metro. That is 116.5 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 98.4 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
Quotes come from real crews, not medians. If the carpenters on your job are paid at the 75th percentile ($36.54 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $220. At the 25th percentile ($24.27) it shrinks by about $180. The total moves by 6.6% or 5.4%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.
For context on the local economy, BLS counts 97,030 jobs in the Binghamton area. That makes it the 207th largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.06% of US employment.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carpenters (47-2031) | 60% | $24.27 | $29.81 | $36.54 | $29.12 | 1.02 | metro |
| Glaziers (47-2121) | 30% | $24.76 | $29.69 | $37.17 | $27.44 | 1.08 | state |

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.
