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

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

Utah seasons and patio door
Weather decides when exterior installation can happen, and Utah 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.
Logan has the longest comfortable season of the metros we cover in Utah at 9 months (March through November); St. George has the shortest at 8 (October through May). Rainfall runs from 9 inches a year in St. George to 17 inches in Provo.
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.
| Metro | Jan avg low °F | Jul avg high °F | Precip (in/yr) | Comfortable months |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Salt Lake City | 24 | 94 | 16 | 8: February through June and September through November |
| Provo | 24 | 95 | 17 | 8: February through June and September through November |

Utah labor market for patio door
Utah'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 0.89 times the national level.
Carpenters (47-2031), 60% of the weighting: a median of $25.17 an hour, 14% below the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $22.04 and $30.20 an hour. About 15,220 work in the state. That is 87.7 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 $24.75 an hour, 10% below the US median of $27.44. The middle half of them earn between $22.90 and $29.27 an hour. About 990 work in the state. That is 5.7 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 3.8 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
For general maintenance and repair workers (49-9071, weighted 10%) the local median is $24.26 an hour, which is in line with the national $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $20.36 and $30.33 an hour. BLS counts 16,090 of them working in the state, 92.7 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 98.4), so the local bench is about average.
A crew paid at the 75th percentile for carpenters ($30.20 an hour) would add about $170 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($22.04) 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 1,735,590 jobs across Utah (May 2025), which is 1.1% of US employment.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |

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.
