When Colorado weather lets you install
Season matters for vinyl fence. For each Colorado metro below we took NOAA's 1991-2020 monthly normals from the nearest suitable station and counted comfortable months for exterior installation.
Colorado Springs has the longest comfortable season of the metros we cover in Colorado at 12 months; Grand Junction has the shortest at 8 (February through June and September through November). Rainfall runs from 9 inches a year in Grand Junction to 21 inches in Boulder.
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.

| Denver | 18 | 90 | 15 | 11: August through June |

Colorado labor market for vinyl fence
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 1.03 for Colorado.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 50%) the local median is $30.21 an hour, which is 4% above the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $24.97 and $35.78 an hour. BLS counts 12,740 of them working in the state, 44.3 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 43.1), so the local bench is about average.
Construction laborers (47-2061), 50% of the weighting: a median of $23.03 an hour, in line with the US median of $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $20.53 and $27.25 an hour. About 18,680 work in the state. That is 65.0 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 70.5 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.
A crew paid at the 75th percentile for carpenters ($35.78 an hour) would add about $140 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($24.97) would take off about $130. Use that as a rough guide to how far a bid can sit from our midpoint on wages alone.
BLS counts 2,873,900 jobs across Colorado (May 2025), which is 1.8% of US employment.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carpenters (47-2031) | 50% | $24.97 | $30.21 | $35.78 | $29.12 | 1.04 | state |
| Construction laborers (47-2061) | 50% | $20.53 | $23.03 | $27.25 | $22.66 | 1.02 | state |
