South Dakota labor market for storm door
South Dakota'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 0.83 times the national level.
Carpenters (47-2031), 80% of the weighting: a median of $23.14 an hour, 21% below the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $20.29 and $28.87 an hour. About 4,560 work in the state. That is 99.7 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 43.1 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
For general maintenance and repair workers (49-9071, weighted 20%) the local median is $23.13 an hour, which is in line with the national $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $20.51 and $27.26 an hour. BLS counts 3,450 of them working in the state, 75.4 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 98.4), so the local bench is thinner than average.
A crew paid at the 75th percentile for carpenters ($28.87 an hour) would add about $40 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($20.29) would take off about $20. Use that as a rough guide to how far a bid can sit from our midpoint on wages alone.
BLS counts 457,380 jobs across South Dakota (May 2025), which is 0.3% of US employment.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carpenters (47-2031) | 80% | $20.29 | $23.14 | $28.87 | $29.12 | 0.79 | state |

Weather windows across South Dakota
Weather decides when exterior installation can happen, and South Dakota 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.
Every South Dakota metro on the list has 9 comfortable months, though rainfall ranges from 20 inches a year in Rapid City to 28 in Sioux Falls.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sioux Falls | 9 | 85 | 28 | 9: March through November |
| Rapid City | 16 | 84 | 20 | 9: March through November |
