Weather windows across Tennessee
Weather decides when exterior installation can happen, and Tennessee 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.
Knoxville has the longest comfortable season of the metros we cover in Tennessee at 12 months; Jackson has the shortest at 10 (September through June). Rainfall runs from 44 inches a year in Johnson City to 57 inches in Jackson.
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.

Tennessee labor market for storm door
Tennessee'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 0.86 times the national level.
Carpenters (47-2031), 80% of the weighting: a median of $24.44 an hour, 16% below the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $22.36 and $28.80 an hour. About 8,200 work in the state. That is 25.0 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 $22.71 an hour, which is 5% below the national $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $18.39 and $28.38 an hour. BLS counts 35,790 of them working in the state, 109.2 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 98.4), so the local bench is about average.
A crew paid at the 75th percentile for carpenters ($28.80 an hour) would add about $30 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($22.36) would take off about $15. Use that as a rough guide to how far a bid can sit from our midpoint on wages alone.
BLS counts 3,278,760 jobs across Tennessee (May 2025), which is 2.1% of US employment.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carpenters (47-2031) | 80% | $22.36 | $24.44 | $28.80 | $29.12 | 0.84 | state |
| General maintenance and repair workers (49-9071) | 20% | $18.39 | $22.71 | $28.38 | $23.84 | 0.95 | state |
| Blended | 100% | 0.86 | |||||

Basic, standard or premium: Tennessee prices
Bands overlap on purpose, since a good standard job can cost as much as a light premium one. Below are the three bands for the default size, then a grid from one storm door to front and back doors.
Basic
$320 to $540
Basic mid-view door with a standard screen
Standard
$490 to $710
Full-view door with a self-storing screen

Storm door cost by metro in Tennessee
1 of the 8 metros sit above the statewide midpoint of $600, and the top-to-bottom gap is 5%. 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.

|---|---|---|---|
| Nashville, TN | $330 – $900 | $620 | +3% |
| Memphis, TN | $320 – $880 | $600 | level |
| Chattanooga, TN | $320 – $880 | $600 | level |

Why two Tennessee 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.
