Why two Massachusetts 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 Massachusetts city is cheapest for storm door?
1 of the 6 metros sit above the statewide midpoint of $710, and the top-to-bottom gap is 10%. 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.

|---|---|---|---|
| Boston, MA | $390 – $1,050 | $710 | +1% |
| Springfield, MA | $380 – $1,000 | $690 | −2% |

Weather windows across Massachusetts
Weather decides when exterior installation can happen, and Massachusetts 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.
Barnstable has the longest comfortable season of the metros we cover in Massachusetts at 10 months (March through December); Pittsfield has the shortest at 8 (April through November). Rainfall runs from 44 inches a year in Boston to 48 inches in Worcester.
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.

| Boston | 23 | 82 | 44 | 9: March through November |

Wages behind the Massachusetts number
Massachusetts'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 1.23 times the national level.
Carpenters (47-2031), 80% of the weighting: a median of $36.16 an hour, 24% above the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $29.21 and $46.88 an hour. About 18,540 work in the state. That is 51.0 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 $28.04 an hour, which is 18% above the national $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $22.55 and $33.42 an hour. BLS counts 29,830 of them working in the state, 82.0 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 98.4), so the local bench is thinner than average.
A crew paid at the 75th percentile for carpenters ($46.88 an hour) would add about $75 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($29.21) would take off about $50. Use that as a rough guide to how far a bid can sit from our midpoint on wages alone.
BLS counts 3,637,650 jobs across Massachusetts (May 2025), which is 2.3% of US employment.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carpenters (47-2031) | 80% | $29.21 | $36.16 | $46.88 | $29.12 | 1.24 | state |
| General maintenance and repair workers (49-9071) | 20% | $22.55 | $28.04 | $33.42 | $23.84 | 1.18 | state |
