Weather windows across Oklahoma

Weather decides when exterior installation can happen, and Oklahoma 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.

Every Oklahoma metro on the list has 10 comfortable months, though rainfall ranges from 36 inches a year in Oklahoma City to 41 in Tulsa.

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.

Basic, standard or premium: Oklahoma prices

Bands overlap on purpose, since a good standard job can cost as much as a light premium one. Below are the three bands for the default size, then a grid from one sliding door to two doors.

What carpenters and the other trades earn in Oklahoma

Oklahoma'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 0.79 times the national level.

Carpenters (47-2031), 60% of the weighting: a median of $22.55 an hour, 23% below the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $19.37 and $25.72 an hour. About 3,820 work in the state. That is 22.4 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 43.1 nationally, so expect fewer local crews to bid.

Glaziers (47-2121), 30% of the weighting: a median of $21.82 an hour, 20% below the US median of $27.44. The middle half of them earn between $18.85 and $22.55 an hour. About 430 work in the state. That is 2.5 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 $20.55 an hour, which is 14% below the national $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $16.94 and $26.13 an hour. BLS counts 18,670 of them working in the state, 109.3 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 98.4), so the local bench is about average.

A crew paid at the 75th percentile for carpenters ($25.72 an hour) would add about $100 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($19.37) would take off about $100. Use that as a rough guide to how far a bid can sit from our midpoint on wages alone.

BLS counts 1,707,680 jobs across Oklahoma (May 2025), which is 1.1% of US employment.

Why two Oklahoma quotes can differ

• Door type

  Sliding glass doors run $1,200-$4,000 installed; exterior French doors $1,300-$5,500; telescoping doors $1,500-$5,000 (HomeGuide).

• New opening versus replacement

  Cutting a new opening in a wall adds framing, header and finish work compared with a like-for-like swap.

• Old door removal

  Removing and disposing of the old door is $100-$500 extra.

• Glass

  Low-E, tempered and hurricane-rated glass cost more than basic single-pane glass.

Oklahoma metro-by-metro prices

2 of the 2 metros sit above the statewide midpoint of $2,850, and the top-to-bottom gap is 1%. 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.
