Bend labor market for storm door

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 Bend is 1.03 times the national level.

For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 80%) the local median is $29.64 an hour, which is in line with the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $23.71 and $35.99 an hour. BLS counts 1,180 of them working in the area, 109.0 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 $26.28 an hour, 10% above the US median of $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $22.40 and $30.43 an hour. About 980 work in the metro. That is 90.5 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 ($35.99 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $45. At the 25th percentile ($23.71) it shrinks by about $45. The total moves by 6.7% or 6.3%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.

Climate in Bend: timing your storm door job

We use NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals for Bend (in the city). These are 30-year monthly averages, not forecasts.

February through November is the stretch where exterior installation runs into the fewest weather problems in Bend (10 of 12 months). January and December have an average daytime high under 45°F.

In January and December the average high stays below 45°F. Sealants, adhesives and some materials, such as vinyl, are harder to install well in the cold, and short daylight cuts the working day.

Bend gets about 11 inches of precipitation in a normal year, including roughly 22 inches of snow. The wettest months are January, November and December (2.1 inches in December). Inside the workable window, August and September are the driest, at 0.3 and 0.3 inches. The station averages about 16 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.
