What is behind the Odessa number
The wage side of the estimate leans on carpenters, who do 60% of the hours on a typical job. Their local median is $25.12 an hour. Add the other trades involved and the blended wage index for Odessa is 0.86 (US = 1.00), which puts labor at 46% of the total.
Materials are scaled with BEA's regional price parity for goods. Odessa is at 93.8 against 100 for the US, so a materials line of $1,700 nationally becomes $1,600 here (midpoint, 1 door). Permits follow the all-items index of 93.9: $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 Odessa. The wage table below marks each row.

Odessa weather and the patio door calendar
Climate numbers on this page come from NOAA's 1991-2020 U.S. Climate Normals at the nearest suitable station, Odessa (in the city). They are 30-year averages, so any one year can run hotter, colder or wetter.
For exterior installation, the comfortable months in Odessa are September through May: 9 of 12. Outside them, June, July and August have an average daytime high of 90°F or more.
Odessa gets about 12 inches of precipitation in a normal year. The wettest months are May, August and September (1.6 inches in May). Inside the workable window, February and December are the driest, at 0.5 and 0.6 inches. The station averages about 106 days a year at 90°F or above.
We do not adjust the estimate by month, because we have no reliable published data on seasonal pricing. It is still worth asking contractors whether an off-peak start date changes their bid.

What local crews earn in Odessa
The labor line is built from BLS wage data, one trade at a time. This job draws on 3 trades. We compare each trade's local median with the US median, weight the ratios by how much of the job each trade does, and apply the blend to the national labor cost. For Odessa the blend is 0.86.
Carpenters (47-2031), 60% of the weighting: a median of $25.12 an hour, 14% below the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $22.57 and $28.35 an hour. About 180 work in the metro. That is 22.2 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 43.1 nationally, so expect fewer local crews to bid.
Glaziers (47-2121) carry 30% of the labor weighting. BLS does not publish this trade for the Odessa metro, so we used the Texas statewide median: $22.95 an hour against $27.44 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $18.67 and $26.49 an hour.
For general maintenance and repair workers (49-9071, weighted 10%) the local median is $22.74 an hour, which is 5% below the national $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $18.48 and $29.07 an hour. BLS counts 770 of them working in the area, 95.2 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 98.4), so the local bench is about average.
A quick sensitivity check: moving the lead trade (carpenters) from the median to the 75th percentile wage adds about $110 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $85. That is a swing of roughly 2.8% to 3.6% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
Odessa has 80,910 jobs in total (BLS, May 2025), ranking 235th by size among the 300 metros on this site.
