New Mexico labor market for storm door
New Mexico'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 0.97 times the national level.
Carpenters (47-2031), 80% of the weighting: a median of $28.71 an hour, in line with the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $22.67 and $30.44 an hour. About 3,630 work in the state. That is 41.7 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 43.1 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.
For general maintenance and repair workers (49-9071, weighted 20%) the local median is $22.00 an hour, which is 8% below the national $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $17.71 and $27.34 an hour. BLS counts 9,320 of them working in the state, 107.0 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 98.4), so the local bench is about average.
A crew paid at the 75th percentile for carpenters ($30.44 an hour) would add about $10 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($22.67) would take off about $45. Use that as a rough guide to how far a bid can sit from our midpoint on wages alone.
BLS counts 870,970 jobs across New Mexico (May 2025), which is 0.6% of US employment.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carpenters (47-2031) | 80% | $22.67 | $28.71 | $30.44 | $29.12 | 0.99 | state |

Weather windows across New Mexico
Weather decides when exterior installation can happen, and New Mexico 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.
Albuquerque has the longest comfortable season of the metros we cover in New Mexico at 10 months (August through May); Las Cruces has the shortest at 9 (September through May). Rainfall runs from 9 inches a year in Albuquerque to 13 inches in Santa Fe.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Albuquerque | 26 | 91 | 9 | 10: August through May |
| Las Cruces | 30 | 96 | 9 | 9: September through May |
| Santa Fe | 18 | 86 | 13 | 10: February through November |

Why two New Mexico 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.
New Mexico metro-by-metro prices
0 of the 3 metros sit above the statewide midpoint of $630, and the top-to-bottom gap is 3%. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Albuquerque, NM | $340 – $920 | $630 | level |
| Santa Fe, NM | $340 – $910 | $630 | level |
| Las Cruces, NM | $330 – $900 | $620 | −2% |
