Climate in Yuma: timing your vinyl siding job
We use NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals for Yuma Mcas (10 miles from the city center). These are 30-year monthly averages, not forecasts.
November through April is the stretch where exterior installation runs into the fewest weather problems in Yuma (6 of 12 months). May, June, July, August, September and October have an average daytime high of 90°F or more.
Yuma gets about 3 inches of precipitation in a normal year. The wettest months are January, September and December (0.7 inches in September). Inside the workable window, April and November are the driest, at 0.1 and 0.2 inches. The station averages about 181 days a year at 90°F or above.
Does the season change the price? Probably, but we do not have a sourced seasonal price curve, so the estimator shows a year-round figure and does not adjust by month. When you collect quotes, ask whether scheduling in a slower month gets a better rate.

Specs and site conditions that change a Yuma bid
Wall area is not floor area
A 2,000 sq ft house usually has more wall area than floor area once you count gables and two stories. Measure the wall, not the floor.
Style
Clapboard vinyl siding runs $4-$7 per sq ft installed; board-and-batten is $5-$9 (HomeGuide).
Old siding removal
Taking the old siding off costs $0.70-$2.00 per sq ft. Check that disposal is included.
Yuma labor market for vinyl siding
Wages are the part of this estimate that changes most from town to town. 3 trades carry the job here, and each is compared with its US median. The weighted result for Yuma is 0.83 times the national level.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 60%) the local median is $23.04 an hour, which is 21% below the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $18.42 and $27.42 an hour. BLS counts 260 of them working in the area, 37.7 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 43.1), so the local bench is about average.
Construction laborers (47-2061), 30% of the weighting: a median of $20.80 an hour, 8% below the US median of $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $17.60 and $22.84 an hour. About 570 work in the metro. That is 82.8 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 70.5 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
Sheet metal workers (47-2211) carry 10% of the labor weighting. BLS does not publish this trade for the Yuma metro, so we used the Arizona statewide median: $24.16 an hour against $29.71 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $18.19 and $33.14 an hour.
Quotes come from real crews, not medians. If the carpenters on your job are paid at the 75th percentile ($27.42 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $760. At the 25th percentile ($18.42) it shrinks by about $800. The total moves by 5.0% or 5.3%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.
For context on the local economy, BLS counts 68,880 jobs in the Yuma area. That makes it the 262nd largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.04% of US employment.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carpenters (47-2031) | 60% | $18.42 | $23.04 | $27.42 | $29.12 | 0.79 | metro |
| Construction laborers (47-2061) | 30% | $17.60 | $20.80 | $22.84 | $22.66 | 0.92 | metro |
| Sheet metal workers (47-2211) | 10% | $18.19 | $24.16 | $33.14 | $29.71 | 0.81 | state |
