Why Coeur d'Alene prices look the way they do
We price the labor side from BLS wage data for 3 trades: carpenters at 60%, construction laborers at 30%, sheet metal workers at 10%. Weighted together, Coeur d'Alene wages are 0.96 times the national level. Labor makes up about 50% of the midpoint estimate (50% at national prices).
Materials are scaled with BEA's regional price parity for goods. Coeur d'Alene is at 96.2 against 100 for the US, so a materials line of $8,400 nationally becomes $8,100 here (midpoint, 2,100 sq ft of wall). Permits follow the all-items index of 98.3: $0 to $0.
Data note: 10% of the labor weighting for this project uses a statewide median because BLS has no published metro figure for that trade in Coeur d'Alene. The wage table below marks each row.
Coeur d'Alene weather and the vinyl siding calendar
Climate numbers on this page come from NOAA's 1991-2020 U.S. Climate Normals at the nearest suitable station, Coeur D'Alene (in the city). They are 30-year averages, so any one year can run hotter, colder or wetter.
For exterior installation, the comfortable months in Coeur d'Alene are March through October: 8 of 12. Outside them, January, February, November and December have an average daytime high under 45°F.
In January, February, November and December the average high stays below 45°F. Sealants, adhesives and some materials, such as vinyl, are harder to install well in the cold, and short daylight cuts the working day.
Coeur d'Alene gets about 25 inches of precipitation in a normal year. The wettest months are January, November and December (3.5 inches in December). Inside the workable window, July and August are the driest, at 0.7 and 0.8 inches. The station averages about 18 days a year at 90°F or above.
We do not adjust the estimate by month, because we have no reliable published data on seasonal pricing. It is still worth asking contractors whether an off-peak start date changes their bid.

What local crews earn in Coeur d'Alene
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 Coeur d'Alene the blend is 0.96.
Carpenters (47-2031), 60% of the weighting: a median of $27.00 an hour, 7% below the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $23.14 and $30.11 an hour. About 790 work in the metro. That is 109.3 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 43.1 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
For construction laborers (47-2061, weighted 30%) the local median is $24.48 an hour, which is 8% above the national $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $21.40 and $28.20 an hour. BLS counts 1,080 of them working in the area, 149.4 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 70.5), so the local bench is deeper than average.
Sheet metal workers (47-2211) carry 10% of the labor weighting. BLS does not publish this trade for the Coeur d'Alene metro, so we used the Idaho statewide median: $22.29 an hour against $29.71 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $18.09 and $36.24 an hour.
A quick sensitivity check: moving the lead trade (carpenters) from the median to the 75th percentile wage adds about $540 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $670. That is a swing of roughly 4.1% to 3.3% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
Coeur d'Alene has 72,280 jobs in total (BLS, May 2025), ranking 254th by size among the 300 metros on this site.
