Weather windows across Kansas
Season matters for storm door. For each Kansas metro below we took NOAA's 1991-2020 monthly normals from the nearest suitable station and counted comfortable months for exterior installation.
Every Kansas metro on the list has 9 comfortable months, though rainfall ranges from 34 inches a year in Wichita to 37 in Topeka.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wichita | 23 | 93 | 34 | 9: February through June and September through December |
| Topeka | 20 | 90 | 37 | 9: February through June and August through November |
Wages behind the Kansas number
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 0.94 for Kansas.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 80%) the local median is $27.39 an hour, which is 6% below the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $22.99 and $32.08 an hour. BLS counts 5,210 of them working in the state, 36.2 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 $22.70 an hour, 5% below the US median of $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $18.92 and $27.71 an hour. About 12,730 work in the state. That is 88.6 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 ($32.08 an hour) would add about $35 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($22.99) would take off about $30. Use that as a rough guide to how far a bid can sit from our midpoint on wages alone.
BLS counts 1,437,520 jobs across Kansas (May 2025), which is 0.9% of US employment.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carpenters (47-2031) | 80% | $22.99 | $27.39 | $32.08 | $29.12 | 0.94 | state |
| General maintenance and repair workers (49-9071) | 20% | $18.92 | $22.70 | $27.71 | $23.84 | 0.95 | state |
