Climate in Medford: timing your storm door job

We use NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals for Medford Rogue Vly 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 Medford (10 of 12 months). July and August have an average daytime high of 90°F or more.

Inside the workable window, June and September are the driest, at 0.7 and 0.5 inches. The station averages about 61 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.

Specs and site conditions that change a Medford bid

• Replacing versus new

• Permit

  No permit fee is included in this estimate; storm doors rarely need one.

Medford 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 Medford is 0.97 times the national level.

For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 80%) the local median is $27.85 an hour, which is 4% below the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $24.01 and $35.12 an hour. BLS counts 910 of them working in the area, 102.2 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 $24.61 an hour, 3% above the US median of $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $20.67 and $29.94 an hour. About 700 work in the metro. That is 78.6 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 98.4 nationally, so expect fewer local crews to bid.

Quotes come from real crews, not medians. If the carpenters on your job are paid at the 75th percentile ($35.12 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $50. At the 25th percentile ($24.01) it shrinks by about $30. The total moves by 7.9% or 4.2%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.

For context on the local economy, BLS counts 89,060 jobs in the Medford area. That makes it the 220th largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.06% of US employment.
