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

Self-storing and retractable screens, ventilating glass and security features all raise the price.
Permit

Weather windows across Nebraska
Season matters for storm door. For each Nebraska metro below we took NOAA's 1991-2020 monthly normals from the nearest suitable station and counted comfortable months for exterior installation.
Every Nebraska metro on the list has 9 comfortable months, though rainfall ranges from 29 inches a year in Lincoln to 32 in Omaha.
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.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Omaha | 15 | 88 | 32 | 9: March through November |

Nebraska labor market for storm door
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 0.87 for Nebraska.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 80%) the local median is $24.19 an hour, which is 17% below the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $21.77 and $30.09 an hour. BLS counts 5,710 of them working in the state, 55.7 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 43.1), so the local bench is deeper than average.
General maintenance and repair workers (49-9071), 20% of the weighting: a median of $24.38 an hour, in line with the US median of $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $21.36 and $29.20 an hour. About 9,850 work in the state. That is 96.2 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 ($30.09 an hour) would add about $45 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($21.77) would take off about $15. Use that as a rough guide to how far a bid can sit from our midpoint on wages alone.
BLS counts 1,024,370 jobs across Nebraska (May 2025), which is 0.7% of US employment.
