Jacksonville 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, Jacksonville Nas (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 Jacksonville are September through May: 9 of 12. Outside them, June, July and August have an average daytime high of 90°F or more.
Jacksonville gets about 48 inches of precipitation in a normal year. The wettest months are June, August and September (7.3 inches in June). Inside the workable window, February and November are the driest, at 2.3 and 2.0 inches. The station averages about 97 days a year at 90°F or above.

What local crews earn in Jacksonville
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 Jacksonville the blend is 0.88.
Carpenters (47-2031), 50% of the weighting: a median of $24.30 an hour, 17% below the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $21.87 and $29.08 an hour. About 2,500 work in the metro. That is 32.6 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 43.1 nationally, so expect fewer local crews to bid.
For construction laborers (47-2061, weighted 50%) the local median is $20.90 an hour, which is 8% below the national $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $17.68 and $23.16 an hour. BLS counts 7,150 of them working in the area, 93.4 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 $120 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $65. That is a swing of roughly 1.0% to 1.9% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
Jacksonville has 765,930 jobs in total (BLS, May 2025), ranking 39th by size among the 300 metros on this site.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |
