Local wages behind the labor line
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 Sheboygan is 1.08 times the national level.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 60%) the local median is $30.17 an hour, which is 4% above the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $24.39 and $40.68 an hour. BLS counts 230 of them working in the area, 37.9 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 Sheboygan metro, so we used the Wisconsin statewide median: $30.00 an hour against $27.44 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $24.52 and $44.10 an hour.
General maintenance and repair workers (49-9071), 10% of the weighting: a median of $30.01 an hour, 26% above the US median of $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $23.94 and $35.64 an hour. About 760 work in the metro. That is 125.4 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 ($40.68 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $350. At the 25th percentile ($24.39) it shrinks by about $190. The total moves by 10.5% or 5.7%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.
For context on the local economy, BLS counts 60,630 jobs in the Sheboygan area. That makes it the 285th largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.04% of US employment.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carpenters (47-2031) | 60% | $24.39 | $30.17 | $40.68 | $29.12 | 1.04 | metro |

When to schedule patio door in Sheboygan
We use NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals for Sheboygan (in the city). These are 30-year monthly averages, not forecasts.
April through November is the stretch where exterior installation runs into the fewest weather problems in Sheboygan (8 of 12 months). January, February, March and December have an average daytime high under 45°F.
In January, February, March 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.
Sheboygan gets about 35 inches of precipitation in a normal year. The wettest months are May, June and August (4.0 inches in August). Inside the workable window, September and November are the driest, at 2.7 and 2.4 inches. The station averages about 9 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.
