Who does the work: Idaho Falls trade wages
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 Idaho Falls the blend is 0.89.
Carpenters (47-2031), 80% of the weighting: a median of $25.07 an hour, 14% below the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $21.83 and $31.11 an hour. About 750 work in the metro. That is 91.6 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 43.1 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
For general maintenance and repair workers (49-9071, weighted 20%) the local median is $23.57 an hour, which is in line with the national $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $18.79 and $29.39 an hour. BLS counts 640 of them working in the area, 78.2 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 98.4), so the local bench is thinner than average.
A quick sensitivity check: moving the lead trade (carpenters) from the median to the 75th percentile wage adds about $45 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $25. That is a swing of roughly 3.9% to 7.2% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
Idaho Falls has 81,840 jobs in total (BLS, May 2025), ranking 233rd by size among the 300 metros on this site.

The best months for storm door in Idaho Falls
Climate numbers on this page come from NOAA's 1991-2020 U.S. Climate Normals at the nearest suitable station, Idaho Falls Fanning Fld (5 miles from the city center). They are 30-year averages, so any one year can run hotter, colder or wetter.
For exterior installation, the comfortable months in Idaho Falls are March through October: 8 of 12. Outside them, January, February, November and December have an average daytime high under 45°F.
In January, February, November and December the average high stays below 45°F. Sealants, adhesives and some materials, such as vinyl, are harder to install well in the cold, and short daylight cuts the working day.
Idaho Falls gets about 10 inches of precipitation in a normal year. The wettest months are April, May and June (1.6 inches in May). Inside the workable window, July and August are the driest, at 0.5 and 0.6 inches. The station averages about 26 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.
