What local crews earn in Greeley
The labor line is built from BLS wage data, one trade at a time. This job draws on 2 trades. We compare each trade's local median with the US median, weight the ratios by how much of the job each trade does, and apply the blend to the national labor cost. For Greeley the blend is 0.97.
Carpenters (47-2031), 50% of the weighting: a median of $27.83 an hour, 4% below the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $24.38 and $30.06 an hour. About 560 work in the metro. That is 46.8 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 43.1 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.
For construction laborers (47-2061, weighted 50%) the local median is $22.19 an hour, which is in line with the national $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $19.97 and $26.19 an hour. BLS counts 1,430 of them working in the area, 119.6 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 70.5), so the local bench is deeper than average.
A quick sensitivity check: moving the lead trade (carpenters) from the median to the 75th percentile wage adds about $55 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $90. That is a swing of roughly 1.3% to 0.9% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
Greeley has 119,540 jobs in total (BLS, May 2025), ranking 184th by size among the 300 metros on this site.

Greeley weather and the vinyl fence calendar
Climate numbers on this page come from NOAA's 1991-2020 U.S. Climate Normals at the nearest suitable station, Greeley Unc (5 miles from the city center). They are 30-year averages, so any one year can run hotter, colder or wetter.
For exterior installation, the comfortable months in Greeley are February through June and August through November: 9 of 12. Outside them, January and December have an average daytime high under 45°F, and July has an average daytime high of 90°F or more.
In January and December the average high stays below 45°F. Sealants, adhesives and some materials, such as vinyl, are harder to install well in the cold, and short daylight cuts the working day.
Greeley gets about 15 inches of precipitation in a normal year, including roughly 35 inches of snow. The wettest months are April, May and June (2.6 inches in May). Inside the workable window, February and November are the driest, at 0.5 and 0.7 inches. The station averages about 58 days a year at 90°F or above.
We do not adjust the estimate by month, because we have no reliable published data on seasonal pricing. It is still worth asking contractors whether an off-peak start date changes their bid.
