Augusta labor market for storm door
Wages are the part of this estimate that changes most from town to town. 2 trades carry the job here, and each is compared with its US median. The weighted result for Augusta is 0.96 times the national level.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 80%) the local median is $28.33 an hour, which is in line with the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $22.66 and $32.50 an hour. BLS counts 830 of them working in the area, 35.8 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 43.1), so the local bench is thinner than average.
General maintenance and repair workers (49-9071), 20% of the weighting: a median of $22.18 an hour, 7% below the US median of $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $18.13 and $28.30 an hour. About 2,390 work in the metro. That is 103.0 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 98.4 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.
Quotes come from real crews, not medians. If the carpenters on your job are paid at the 75th percentile ($32.50 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $30. At the 25th percentile ($22.66) it shrinks by about $40. The total moves by 4.8% or 6.5%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.
For context on the local economy, BLS counts 231,930 jobs in the Augusta-Richmond County area. That makes it the 106th largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.15% of US employment.

Climate in Augusta: timing your storm door job
We use NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals for Augusta Daniel Fld Ap (5 miles from the city center). These are 30-year monthly averages, not forecasts.
September through May is the stretch where exterior installation runs into the fewest weather problems in Augusta (9 of 12 months). June, July and August have an average daytime high of 90°F or more.
Augusta gets about 45 inches of precipitation in a normal year. The wettest months are June, July and August (5.0 inches in August). Inside the workable window, October and November are the driest, at 2.7 and 2.8 inches. The station averages about 80 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.
