Why Fayetteville prices look the way they do
The wage side of the estimate leans on carpenters, who do 80% of the hours on a typical job. Their local median is $23.59 an hour. Add the other trades involved and the blended wage index for Fayetteville is 0.84 (US = 1.00), which puts labor at 38% of the total.
Materials are scaled with BEA's regional price parity for goods. Fayetteville is at 93.6 against 100 for the US, so a materials line of $390 nationally becomes $360 here (midpoint, 1 door). Permits follow the all-items index of 91.4: $0 to $0.
What local crews earn in Fayetteville
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 Fayetteville the blend is 0.84.
Carpenters (47-2031), 80% of the weighting: a median of $23.59 an hour, 19% below the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $21.44 and $28.27 an hour. About 1,130 work in the metro. That is 41.1 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 43.1 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.
For general maintenance and repair workers (49-9071, weighted 20%) the local median is $22.97 an hour, which is 4% below the national $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $18.04 and $28.19 an hour. BLS counts 2,490 of them working in the area, 90.5 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 98.4), so the local bench is about average.
A quick sensitivity check: moving the lead trade (carpenters) from the median to the 75th percentile wage adds about $35 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $15. That is a swing of roughly 2.7% to 5.8% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
Fayetteville-Springdale-Rogers has 275,180 jobs in total (BLS, May 2025), ranking 93rd by size among the 300 metros on this site.

Fayetteville weather and the storm door calendar
Climate numbers on this page come from NOAA's 1991-2020 U.S. Climate Normals at the nearest suitable station, Fayetteville Drake Fld (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 exterior installation in Fayetteville: no month in the averages is cold enough (an average daytime high under 45°F) or hot enough (an average daytime high of 90°F or more) to rule it out, so the workable window is all year.
Fayetteville gets about 47 inches of precipitation in a normal year, including roughly 7 inches of snow. The wettest months are April, May and October (5.9 inches in May). The station averages about 41 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.
