What carpenters and the other trades earn in Colorado
Colorado's labor line is priced from 3 trades, each compared with its US median wage. After weighting by each trade's share of the work, the state comes out at 1.02 times the national level.
Carpenters (47-2031), 60% of the weighting: a median of $30.21 an hour, 4% above the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $24.97 and $35.78 an hour. About 12,740 work in the state. That is 44.3 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 43.1 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.
For construction laborers (47-2061, weighted 30%) the local median is $23.03 an hour, which is in line with the national $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $20.53 and $27.25 an hour. BLS counts 18,680 of them working in the state, 65.0 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 70.5), so the local bench is about average.
Sheet metal workers (47-2211), 10% of the weighting: a median of $27.83 an hour, 6% below the US median of $29.71. The middle half of them earn between $22.60 and $33.85 an hour. About 1,660 work in the state. That is 5.8 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 7.7 nationally, so expect fewer local crews to bid.
A crew paid at the 75th percentile for carpenters ($35.78 an hour) would add about $960 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($24.97) would take off about $910. 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) | 60% | $24.97 | $30.21 | $35.78 | $29.12 | 1.04 | state |

Other Colorado jobs that often go with vinyl siding
Each project weights the trades differently, so Colorado's wage level does not push every price by the same amount. Compared with the US midpoint, window replacement is +1% and metal roof −4%.
| Project | Size | Range | vs. US |
|---|---|---|---|
| Roof replacement | 2,000 sq ft of roof | $5,850 – $12,100 | −4% |
| Gutters | 160 linear ft | $1,250 – $4,100 | −2% |

| Metal roof | 2,000 sq ft of roof | $9,650 – $31,400 | −4% |
When Colorado weather lets you install
Weather decides when exterior installation can happen, and Colorado 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.
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.
| Metro | Jan avg low °F | Jul avg high °F | Precip (in/yr) | Comfortable months |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Denver | 18 | 90 | 15 | 11: August through June |
| Colorado Springs | 19 | 87 | 16 | 12: all year |
| Boulder | 22 | 88 | 21 | 12: all year |
| Fort Collins | 18 | 87 | 16 | 11: January through November |
| Greeley | 18 | 92 | 15 | 9: February through June and August through November |
| Grand Junction | 17 | 95 | 9 | 8: February through June and September through November |
| Pueblo | 15 | 93 | 12 | 10: September through June |
Which Colorado city is cheapest for vinyl siding?
1 of the 7 metros sit above the statewide midpoint of $16,900, and the top-to-bottom gap is 9%. Each row prices the default size with that metro's own BLS wages and BEA price levels, so the gap between rows is real local variation rather than a flat markup.
| Metro | Range (2,100 sq ft of wall) | Midpoint | vs. state |
|---|---|---|---|
| Denver, CO | $8,650 – $26,000 | $17,300 | +3% |
| Boulder, CO | $8,200 – $24,500 | $16,400 | −3% |
| Fort Collins, CO | $8,100 – $24,300 | $16,200 | −4% |
| Grand Junction, CO | $8,050 – $24,200 | $16,100 | −4% |
| Greeley, CO | $8,000 – $24,000 | $16,000 | −5% |
| Colorado Springs, CO | $8,000 – $24,000 | $16,000 | −5% |
| Pueblo, CO | $7,900 – $23,800 | $15,800 | −6% |
Why two Colorado quotes can differ
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.
Labor and season
Siding labor is $40-$80 an hour or $2-$6 per sq ft, and it is highest in warm months.
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.
Colorado versus the states around it
Colorado ranks 18 of 51 (the 50 states plus DC) for vinyl siding, where 1 is the most expensive. The costliest is Hawaii at $21,900 and the cheapest Arkansas at $14,500, both for 2,100 sq ft of wall at the midpoint. Colorado sits at $16,900.
