Wages behind the Virginia number
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 0.94 for Virginia.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 80%) the local median is $26.77 an hour, which is 8% below the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $22.34 and $29.49 an hour. BLS counts 20,460 of them working in the state, 49.8 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 $23.79 an hour, in line with the US median of $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $19.01 and $29.80 an hour. About 34,540 work in the state. That is 84.1 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 ($29.49 an hour) would add about $20 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($22.34) would take off about $30. Use that as a rough guide to how far a bid can sit from our midpoint on wages alone.
BLS counts 4,109,320 jobs across Virginia (May 2025), which is 2.6% of US employment.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |

When Virginia weather lets you install
Season matters for storm door. For each Virginia metro below we took NOAA's 1991-2020 monthly normals from the nearest suitable station and counted comfortable months for exterior installation.
Virginia Beach has the longest comfortable season of the metros we cover in Virginia at 12 months; Harrisonburg has the shortest at 11 (February through December). Rainfall runs from 39 inches a year in Harrisonburg to 48 inches in Charlottesville.
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.
