Where the Yakima price comes from
We price the labor side from BLS wage data for 3 trades: carpenters at 60%, glaziers at 30%, general maintenance and repair workers at 10%. Weighted together, Yakima wages are 1.08 times the national level. Labor makes up about 49% of the midpoint estimate (48% at national prices).
On the materials line, the BEA goods price index for the Yakima metro is 105.0 (US = 100). The midpoint materials bill for 1 door comes to $1,800, compared with $1,700 at national prices. Permit and inspection fees are scaled by the broader index (95.5) 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 Yakima. The wage table below marks each row.
Climate in Yakima: timing your patio door job
We use NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals for Yakima Air Terminal (5 miles from the city center). These are 30-year monthly averages, not forecasts.
February through June and August through November are the stretches where exterior installation runs into the fewest weather problems in Yakima (9 of 12 months). January and December have an average daytime high under 45°F; July has an average daytime high of 90°F or more.
In January 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.
Yakima gets about 8 inches of precipitation in a normal year, including roughly 20 inches of snow. The wettest months are January, November and December (1.4 inches in December). Inside the workable window, August and September are the driest, at 0.2 and 0.2 inches. The station averages about 40 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.

Yakima 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 Yakima is 1.08 times the national level.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 60%) the local median is $30.43 an hour, which is 4% above the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $27.61 and $44.37 an hour. BLS counts 480 of them working in the area, 49.5 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 Yakima metro, so we used the Washington statewide median: $32.14 an hour against $27.44 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $28.49 and $51.36 an hour.
General maintenance and repair workers (49-9071), 10% of the weighting: a median of $23.77 an hour, in line with the US median of $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $21.48 and $29.22 an hour. About 1,210 work in the metro. That is 124.7 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 ($44.37 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $460. At the 25th percentile ($27.61) it shrinks by about $95. The total moves by 13.1% or 2.6%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.
For context on the local economy, BLS counts 97,010 jobs in the Yakima area. That makes it the 208th 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% | $27.61 | $30.43 | $44.37 | $29.12 | 1.04 | metro |
| Glaziers (47-2121) | 30% | $28.49 | $32.14 | $51.36 | $27.44 | 1.17 | state |
| General maintenance and repair workers (49-9071) | 10% | $21.48 | $23.77 | $29.22 | $23.84 | 1.00 | metro |
