Albany 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 Albany is 0.67 times the national level.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 60%) the local median is $18.46 an hour, which is 37% below the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $17.38 and $23.55 an hour. BLS counts 80 of them working in the area, 13.7 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 $17.25 an hour, 24% below the US median of $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $14.62 and $18.96 an hour. About 400 work in the metro. That is 68.5 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 70.5 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.
For sheet metal workers (47-2211, weighted 10%) the local median is $19.01 an hour, which is 36% below the national $29.71. The middle half of them earn between $19.01 and $29.00 an hour. BLS counts 30 of them working in the area, 5.1 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 7.7), so the local bench is thinner than average.
Quotes come from real crews, not medians. If the carpenters on your job are paid at the 75th percentile ($23.55 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $880. At the 25th percentile ($17.38) it shrinks by about $190. The total moves by 6.4% or 1.4%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.
For context on the local economy, BLS counts 58,390 jobs in the Albany area. That makes it the 293rd largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.04% of US employment.

Climate in Albany: timing your vinyl siding job
We use NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals for Albany Sw Ga Rgnl Ap (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 Albany (9 of 12 months). June, July and August have an average daytime high of 90°F or more.
Albany gets about 47 inches of precipitation in a normal year. The wettest months are June, July and August (5.1 inches in July). Inside the workable window, May and October are the driest, at 2.4 and 2.3 inches. The station averages about 106 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.
