Climate in Eugene: timing your patio door job

We use NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals for Eugene Mahlon Sweet Ap (5 miles from the city center). These are 30-year monthly averages, not forecasts.

Weather is not a serious constraint for exterior installation in Eugene: no month in the averages is cold enough (an average daytime high under 45°F) or hot enough (an average daytime high of 90°F or more) to rule it out, so the workable window is all year.

Eugene gets about 41 inches of precipitation in a normal year. The wettest months are January, November and December (7.2 inches in December). The station averages about 18 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.

Eugene labor market for patio door

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 Eugene is 1.09 times the national level.

For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 60%) the local median is $30.09 an hour, which is 3% above the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $24.10 and $35.05 an hour. BLS counts 710 of them working in the area, 45.0 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 Eugene metro, so we used the Oregon statewide median: $34.08 an hour against $27.44 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $24.40 and $48.34 an hour.

General maintenance and repair workers (49-9071), 10% of the weighting: a median of $23.67 an hour, in line with the US median of $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $21.54 and $28.44 an hour. About 1,600 work in the metro. That is 101.5 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 98.4 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.

Quotes come from real crews, not medians. If the carpenters on your job are paid at the 75th percentile ($35.05 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $160. At the 25th percentile ($24.10) it shrinks by about $200. The total moves by 4.6% or 5.6%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.

For context on the local economy, BLS counts 157,710 jobs in the Eugene-Springfield area. That makes it the 150th largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.10% of US employment.
