Where the Vallejo price comes from
The wage side of the estimate leans on construction laborers, who do 50% of the hours on a typical job. Their local median is $30.05 an hour. Add the other trades involved and the blended wage index for Vallejo is 1.23 (US = 1.00), which puts labor at 64% of the total.
Materials are scaled with BEA's regional price parity for goods. Vallejo is at 105.2 against 100 for the US, so a materials line of $1,500 nationally becomes $1,600 here (midpoint, 300 sq ft). Permits follow the all-items index of 108.5: $0 to $380.
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 Vallejo. The wage table below marks each row.
Who does the work: Vallejo trade wages
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 Vallejo the blend is 1.23.
For construction laborers (47-2061, weighted 50%) the local median is $30.05 an hour, which is 33% above the national $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $24.06 and $37.35 an hour. BLS counts 1,080 of them working in the area, 74.9 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 70.5), so the local bench is about average.
Brickmasons and blockmasons (47-2021) carry 30% of the labor weighting. BLS does not publish this trade for the Vallejo metro, so we used the California statewide median: $33.20 an hour against $29.87 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $28.24 and $38.26 an hour.
Landscaping and groundskeeping workers (37-3011), 20% of the weighting: a median of $21.86 an hour, 16% above the US median of $18.82. The middle half of them earn between $19.86 and $23.99 an hour. About 930 work in the metro. That is 64.5 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 61.3 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.
A quick sensitivity check: moving the lead trade (construction laborers) from the median to the 75th percentile wage adds about $410 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $340. That is a swing of roughly 6.9% to 8.4% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
Vallejo has 144,130 jobs in total (BLS, May 2025), ranking 158th by size among the 300 metros on this site.

The best months for paver patio in Vallejo
Climate numbers on this page come from NOAA's 1991-2020 U.S. Climate Normals at the nearest suitable station, Napa Co Ap (5 miles from the city center). They are 30-year averages, so any one year can run hotter, colder or wetter.
Weather is not a serious constraint for digging, grading and setting material in the ground in Vallejo: no month in the averages is cold enough (an average overnight low at or below freezing (32°F)) or hot enough (an average daytime high of 90°F or more) to rule it out, so the workable window is all year.
Vallejo gets about 20 inches of precipitation in a normal year. The wettest months are January, February and December (4.2 inches in January). The station averages about 16 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.
