Weather windows across Maine
Weather decides when exterior installation can happen, and Maine is not uniform. The table uses NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals from the weather station nearest each metro we cover, and counts the months that are neither cold nor hot enough to complicate the job.
Every Maine metro on the list has 8 comfortable months, though rainfall ranges from 42 inches a year in Bangor to 48 in Portland.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Portland | 16 | 80 | 48 | 8: April through November |
| Bangor | 9 | 80 | 42 | 8: April through November |

If you are planning more than one job in Maine
Each project weights the trades differently, so Maine's wage level does not push every price by the same amount. Compared with the US midpoint, garage door is level and window replacement −4%.
| Project | Size | Range | vs. US |
|---|---|---|---|
| Front door | 1 door | $500 – $2,450 | −1% |
| Patio door | 1 door | $580 – $5,800 | −3% |
| Garage door | 1 door | $700 – $3,700 | level |
| Window replacement | 10 windows | $4,300 – $14,400 | −4% |
Why two Maine quotes can differ
Door style
A mid-view door is $350-$700 installed, a full-view door $425-$950, and a low-E full-view door $475-$1,000 (HomeGuide).
Replacing versus new
Replacing an old storm door runs $400-$1,050 because the old door has to come off.
Screens and features
Self-storing and retractable screens, ventilating glass and security features all raise the price.
Permit
No permit fee is included in this estimate; storm doors rarely need one.
Which Maine city is cheapest for storm door?
1 of the 2 metros sit above the statewide midpoint of $640, and the top-to-bottom gap is 5%. 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.
| Metro | Range (1 door) | Midpoint | vs. state |
|---|---|---|---|
| Portland, ME | $360 – $950 | $660 | +2% |
| Bangor, ME | $340 – $910 | $620 | −3% |
What carpenters and the other trades earn in Maine
Maine's labor line is priced from 2 trades, each compared with its US median wage. After weighting by each trade's share of the work, the state comes out at 1.02 times the national level.
Carpenters (47-2031), 80% of the weighting: a median of $29.88 an hour, in line with the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $25.46 and $35.00 an hour. About 5,170 work in the state. That is 80.7 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 $23.76 an hour, which is in line with the national $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $20.90 and $28.98 an hour. BLS counts 5,820 of them working in the state, 90.9 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 98.4), so the local bench is about average.
A crew paid at the 75th percentile for carpenters ($35.00 an hour) would add about $35 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($25.46) 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 640,610 jobs across Maine (May 2025), which is 0.4% of US employment.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carpenters (47-2031) | 80% | $25.46 | $29.88 | $35.00 | $29.12 | 1.03 | state |
| General maintenance and repair workers (49-9071) | 20% | $20.90 | $23.76 | $28.98 | $23.84 | 1.00 | state |
| Blended | 100% | 1.02 | |||||
