How a storm door job goes, step by step
- Measure the opening. Measure the width at three heights and the height at three widths, using the smallest. Most doors are sold in standard widths.
- Choose a style. Full-view, retractable-screen and ventilating styles trade price for airflow and light.
- Mount the frame and hang the door. The frame is fixed to the jamb, the door hung, and the closer and latch adjusted.
What changes the price of a storm door
Door style
A mid-view door is $350-$700 installed, a full-view door $425-$950, and a low-E full-view door $475-$1,000 (HomeGuide).
Replacing versus new
Replacing an old storm door runs $400-$1,050 because the old door has to come off.
Screens and features
Self-storing and retractable screens, ventilating glass and security features all raise the price.
Permit
No permit fee is included in this estimate; storm doors rarely need one.
Wages behind the national estimate
Carpenters (47-2031) do the largest share of the work, about 80% of the weighting. Their national median is $29.12 an hour. Among 300 metros with a published figure, the median runs from $17.13 in Brownsville, TX to $45.34 in Honolulu, HI, and the middle metro sits at $27.19. That ratio between the high and low end is 2.65 to 1, and it feeds straight into the labor line of the estimate.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carpenters (47-2031) | 80% | $23.32 | $29.12 | $36.94 | $29.12 | 1.00 | US |
| General maintenance and repair workers (49-9071) | 20% | $19.64 | $23.84 | $30.10 | $23.84 | 1.00 | US |
| Blended | 100% | 1.00 | |||||
Does the season matter for storm door?
We checked NOAA 1991-2020 normals for 300 metros and counted the months with no freezing or heat problem for exterior installation. 40 metros have all 12 months comfortable; the median metro has 9. The shortest seasons are in Anchorage, AK (6), El Centro, CA (6), Yuma, AZ (6) and Appleton, WI (7). The wettest metro is Pensacola; the driest is El Centro at about 3 inches a year.
Local pages show a month-by-month table for each metro. We do not change prices by month, because there is no reliable published seasonal price series.
How much the price varies by city
Across the 300 metros we cover, the midpoint for 1 door runs from $530 in Brownsville to $820 in Honolulu, a gap of 56%. The median metro is $620, which is −5% against the national midpoint of $650. 25 metros are 10% or more above the national figure, 56 are 10% or more below, and 219 sit within 10% of it.
