Climate in Killeen: timing your storm door job
We use NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals for Killeen (5 miles from the city center). These are 30-year monthly averages, not forecasts.
October through May is the stretch where exterior installation runs into the fewest weather problems in Killeen (8 of 12 months). June, July, August and September have an average daytime high of 90°F or more.
Killeen gets about 35 inches of precipitation in a normal year. The wettest months are May, September and October (4.7 inches in May). Inside the workable window, February and April are the driest, at 2.2 and 2.1 inches. The station averages about 105 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.

Killeen 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 Killeen is 0.81 times the national level.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 80%) the local median is $22.87 an hour, which is 21% below the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $21.30 and $28.43 an hour. BLS counts 270 of them working in the area, 17.9 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 $21.86 an hour, 8% below the US median of $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $17.78 and $26.89 an hour. About 1,680 work in the metro. That is 111.6 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 ($28.43 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $40. At the 25th percentile ($21.30) it shrinks by about $10. The total moves by 7.0% or 2.0%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.
For context on the local economy, BLS counts 150,580 jobs in the Killeen-Temple area. That makes it the 155th largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.10% of US employment.
