Who does the work: Greensboro trade wages
The labor line is built from BLS wage data, one trade at a time. This job draws on 2 trades. We compare each trade's local median with the US median, weight the ratios by how much of the job each trade does, and apply the blend to the national labor cost. For Greensboro the blend is 0.85.
Carpenters (47-2031), 80% of the weighting: a median of $24.00 an hour, 18% below the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $19.49 and $28.58 an hour. About 760 work in the metro. That is 20.8 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 43.1 nationally, so expect fewer local crews to bid.
For general maintenance and repair workers (49-9071, weighted 20%) the local median is $22.75 an hour, which is 5% below the national $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $18.58 and $28.38 an hour. BLS counts 3,530 of them working in the area, 96.6 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 98.4), so the local bench is about average.
A quick sensitivity check: moving the lead trade (carpenters) from the median to the 75th percentile wage adds about $35 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $35. That is a swing of roughly 5.4% to 5.5% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
Greensboro-High Point has 365,410 jobs in total (BLS, May 2025), ranking 71st by size among the 300 metros on this site.

The best months for storm door in Greensboro
Climate numbers on this page come from NOAA's 1991-2020 U.S. Climate Normals at the nearest suitable station, Greensboro Wtp (in the city). They are 30-year averages, so any one year can run hotter, colder or wetter.
Weather is not a serious constraint for exterior installation in Greensboro: 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.
Greensboro gets about 46 inches of precipitation in a normal year. The wettest months are June, July and August (5.8 inches in July). The station averages about 42 days a year at 90°F or above.
We do not adjust the estimate by month, because we have no reliable published data on seasonal pricing. It is still worth asking contractors whether an off-peak start date changes their bid.
