Climate in Jacksonville: timing your vinyl siding job
We use NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals for Jacksonville Nas (5 miles from the city center). These are 30-year monthly averages, not forecasts.
September through May is the stretch where exterior installation runs into the fewest weather problems in Jacksonville (9 of 12 months). 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.
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.

Vinyl siding: what moves the price in Jacksonville
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.
Style
Clapboard vinyl siding runs $4-$7 per sq ft installed; board-and-batten is $5-$9 (HomeGuide).
Jacksonville 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 Jacksonville is 0.86 times the national level.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 60%) the local median is $24.30 an hour, which is 17% below the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $21.87 and $29.08 an hour. BLS counts 2,500 of them working in the area, 32.6 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 43.1), so the local bench is thinner than average.
Construction laborers (47-2061), 30% of the weighting: a median of $20.90 an hour, 8% below the US median of $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $17.68 and $23.16 an hour. About 7,150 work in the metro. That is 93.4 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 70.5 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
For sheet metal workers (47-2211, weighted 10%) the local median is $23.73 an hour, which is 20% below the national $29.71. The middle half of them earn between $17.51 and $30.02 an hour. BLS counts 940 of them working in the area, 12.3 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 7.7), so the local bench is deeper than average.
Quotes come from real crews, not medians. If the carpenters on your job are paid at the 75th percentile ($29.08 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $830. At the 25th percentile ($21.87) it shrinks by about $420. The total moves by 5.4% or 2.8%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.
For context on the local economy, BLS counts 765,930 jobs in the Jacksonville area. That makes it the 39th largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.49% of US employment.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carpenters (47-2031) | 60% | $21.87 | $24.30 | $29.08 | $29.12 | 0.83 | metro |
| Construction laborers (47-2061) | 30% | $17.68 | $20.90 | $23.16 | $22.66 | 0.92 | metro |
