What local crews earn in Winchester
The labor line is built from BLS wage data, one trade at a time. This job draws on 2 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 Winchester the blend is 0.89.
Plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters (47-2152), 50% of the weighting: a median of $27.77 an hour, 9% below the US median of $30.67. The middle half of them earn between $22.40 and $30.24 an hour. About 160 work in the metro. That is 23.6 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 30.0 nationally, so expect fewer local crews to bid.
Tile and stone setters (47-2044) carry 50% of the labor weighting. BLS does not publish this trade for the Winchester metro, so we used the Virginia statewide median: $23.50 an hour against $26.77 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $18.35 and $29.76 an hour.
A quick sensitivity check: moving the lead trade (plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters) from the median to the 75th percentile wage adds about $40 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $90. That is a swing of roughly 5.3% to 2.5% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
Winchester has 67,740 jobs in total (BLS, May 2025), ranking 267th by size among the 300 metros on this site.
