Season matters for storm door. For each Texas metro below we took NOAA's 1991-2020 monthly normals from the nearest suitable station and counted comfortable months for exterior installation.
Texarkana has the longest comfortable season of the metros we cover in Texas at 10 months (September through June); Laredo has the shortest at 7 (October through April). Rainfall runs from 9 inches a year in El Paso to 65 inches in Beaumont.
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.

Texas labor market for storm door
Statewide wages come from BLS's state-level estimates, which blend big cities with small towns and rural areas. 2 trades drive the labor line for this job, and the weighted ratio against the national wage level is 0.83 for Texas.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 80%) the local median is $23.51 an hour, which is 19% below the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $21.48 and $27.78 an hour. BLS counts 33,540 of them working in the state, 23.8 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 43.1), so the local bench is thinner than average.
General maintenance and repair workers (49-9071), 20% of the weighting: a median of $22.44 an hour, 6% below the US median of $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $18.11 and $28.45 an hour. About 140,580 work in the state. That is 99.9 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 98.4 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.
A crew paid at the 75th percentile for carpenters ($27.78 an hour) would add about $30 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($21.48) 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 14,071,160 jobs across Texas (May 2025), which is 9.0% of US employment.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |
