Why two Peoria 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.

When to schedule vinyl siding in Peoria

We use NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals for Peoria Gtr Peoria Ap (5 miles from the city center). These are 30-year monthly averages, not forecasts.

March through November is the stretch where exterior installation runs into the fewest weather problems in Peoria (9 of 12 months). January, February and December have an average daytime high under 45°F.

In January, February 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.

Peoria gets about 38 inches of precipitation in a normal year, including roughly 26 inches of snow. The wettest months are April, May and June (4.7 inches in May). Inside the workable window, March and November are the driest, at 2.7 and 2.7 inches. The station averages about 23 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.

Local wages behind the labor line

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 Peoria is 1.29 times the national level.

For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 60%) the local median is $36.19 an hour, which is 24% above the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $24.14 and $48.02 an hour. BLS counts 780 of them working in the area, 47.0 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 43.1), so the local bench is about average.

Construction laborers (47-2061), 30% of the weighting: a median of $30.27 an hour, 34% above the US median of $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $22.67 and $37.76 an hour. About 1,020 work in the metro. That is 61.4 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 $41.89 an hour, which is 41% above the national $29.71. The middle half of them earn between $28.70 and $49.02 an hour. BLS counts 120 of them working in the area, 7.2 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 7.7), so the local bench is about average.

Quotes come from real crews, not medians. If the carpenters on your job are paid at the 75th percentile ($48.02 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $2,050. At the 25th percentile ($24.14) it shrinks by about $2,100. The total moves by 11.0% or 11.2%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.

For context on the local economy, BLS counts 166,020 jobs in the Peoria area. That makes it the 141st largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.11% of US employment.
