Washington seasons and storm door
Weather decides when exterior installation can happen, and Washington 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.
Seattle has the longest comfortable season of the metros we cover in Washington at 12 months; Kennewick has the shortest at 8 (February through June and September through November). Rainfall runs from 8 inches a year in Kennewick to 57 inches in Bremerton.
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.

Washington labor market for storm door
Washington'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 1.22 times the national level.
Carpenters (47-2031), 80% of the weighting: a median of $35.67 an hour, 22% above the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $29.15 and $44.55 an hour. About 26,960 work in the state. That is 75.9 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 $28.44 an hour, which is 19% above the national $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $23.20 and $34.78 an hour. BLS counts 32,450 of them working in the state, 91.4 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 98.4), so the local bench is about average.
A crew paid at the 75th percentile for carpenters ($44.55 an hour) would add about $65 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($29.15) would take off about $45. Use that as a rough guide to how far a bid can sit from our midpoint on wages alone.
BLS counts 3,550,970 jobs across Washington (May 2025), which is 2.3% of US employment.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carpenters (47-2031) | 80% | $29.15 | $35.67 | $44.55 | $29.12 | 1.22 | state |
| General maintenance and repair workers (49-9071) | 20% | $23.20 | $28.44 | $34.78 | $23.84 | 1.19 | state |

Permit
No permit fee is included in this estimate; storm doors rarely need one.
