Storm door cost in Lexington Park, MD

Lexington Park 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 Lexington Park is 1.04 times the national level.

For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 80%) the local median is $30.23 an hour, which is 4% above the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $26.36 and $35.38 an hour. BLS counts 210 of them working in the area, 29.7 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 $25.05 an hour, 5% above the US median of $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $20.30 and $28.68 an hour. About 430 work in the metro. That is 60.9 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 98.4 nationally, so expect fewer local crews to bid.

Weather is not a serious constraint for exterior installation in Lexington Park: no month in the averages is cold enough (an average daytime high under 45°F) or hot enough (an average daytime high of 90°F or more) to rule it out, so the workable window is all year.

Lexington Park gets about 45 inches of precipitation in a normal year, including roughly 13 inches of snow. The wettest months are June, July and August (4.7 inches in August). The station averages about 26 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.
