Local wages behind the labor line

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 Reno is 1.03 times the national level.

For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 80%) the local median is $29.98 an hour, which is in line with the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $24.10 and $37.41 an hour. BLS counts 2,750 of them working in the area, 99.8 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 $24.67 an hour, 3% above the US median of $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $21.43 and $30.60 an hour. About 3,070 work in the metro. That is 111.4 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 98.4 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.

Quotes come from real crews, not medians. If the carpenters on your job are paid at the 75th percentile ($37.41 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $55. At the 25th percentile ($24.10) it shrinks by about $40. The total moves by 8.3% or 6.6%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.

For context on the local economy, BLS counts 275,680 jobs in the Reno area. That makes it the 92nd largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.18% of US employment.

When to schedule storm door in Reno

We use NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals for Reno Tahoe Intl Ap (5 miles from the city center). These are 30-year monthly averages, not forecasts.

September through June is the stretch where exterior installation runs into the fewest weather problems in Reno (10 of 12 months). July and August have an average daytime high of 90°F or more.

Reno gets about 7 inches of precipitation in a normal year, including roughly 21 inches of snow. The wettest months are January, February and December (1.3 inches in January). Inside the workable window, June and September are the driest, at 0.4 and 0.2 inches. The station averages about 65 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.
