Idaho labor market for storm door
Statewide wages come from BLS's state-level estimates, which blend big cities with small towns and rural areas. 2 trades drive the labor line for this job, and the weighted ratio against the national wage level is 0.88 for Idaho.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 80%) the local median is $25.00 an hour, which is 14% below the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $21.76 and $30.25 an hour. BLS counts 8,380 of them working in the state, 97.7 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 43.1), so the local bench is deeper than average.
General maintenance and repair workers (49-9071), 20% of the weighting: a median of $23.17 an hour, in line with the US median of $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $19.62 and $29.23 an hour. About 8,200 work in the state. That is 95.6 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 98.4 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.
A crew paid at the 75th percentile for carpenters ($30.25 an hour) would add about $40 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($21.76) would take off about $25. Use that as a rough guide to how far a bid can sit from our midpoint on wages alone.
BLS counts 857,440 jobs across Idaho (May 2025), which is 0.6% of US employment.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carpenters (47-2031) | 80% | $21.76 | $25.00 | $30.25 | $29.12 | 0.86 | state |

When Idaho weather lets you install
Season matters for storm door. For each Idaho metro below we took NOAA's 1991-2020 monthly normals from the nearest suitable station and counted comfortable months for exterior installation.
Every Idaho metro on the list has 8 comfortable months, though rainfall ranges from 10 inches a year in Idaho Falls to 25 in Coeur d'Alene.
We do not adjust prices by month, because we have no reliable published data on seasonal pricing. Timing is still worth raising when you collect bids.
| Metro | Jan avg low °F | Jul avg high °F | Precip (in/yr) | Comfortable months |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Boise | 26 | 93 | 12 | 8: February through June and September through November |
| Idaho Falls | 12 | 87 | 10 | 8: March through October |
| Coeur d'Alene | 26 | 83 | 25 | 8: March through October |

Idaho metro-by-metro prices
1 of the 3 metros sit above the statewide midpoint of $600, and the top-to-bottom gap is 3%. Each row prices the default size with that metro's own BLS wages and BEA price levels, so the gap between rows is real local variation rather than a flat markup.

| Coeur d'Alene, ID | $330 – $900 | $620 | +2% |
| Idaho Falls, ID | $320 – $890 | $610 | level |
