Who does the work: Savannah trade wages
The labor line is built from BLS wage data, one trade at a time. This job draws on 3 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 Savannah the blend is 0.77.
Carpenters (47-2031), 60% of the weighting: a median of $21.59 an hour, 26% below the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $18.51 and $26.34 an hour. About 330 work in the metro. That is 16.6 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 43.1 nationally, so expect fewer local crews to bid.
For construction laborers (47-2061, weighted 30%) the local median is $18.12 an hour, which is 20% below the national $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $14.71 and $21.63 an hour. BLS counts 1,210 of them working in the area, 61.0 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 $24.32 an hour, 18% below the US median of $29.71. The middle half of them earn between $20.41 and $29.89 an hour. About 100 work in the metro. That is 5.0 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 7.7 nationally, so expect fewer local crews to bid.
A quick sensitivity check: moving the lead trade (carpenters) from the median to the 75th percentile wage adds about $820 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $530. That is a swing of roughly 3.7% to 5.7% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
Savannah has 198,360 jobs in total (BLS, May 2025), ranking 116th by size among the 300 metros on this site.

Why two Savannah quotes can differ
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.
