Atlantic City 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, Atlantic City (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 Atlantic City are March through December: 10 of 12. Outside them, January and February have an average daytime high under 45°F.
In January and February 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.
Atlantic City gets about 44 inches of precipitation in a normal year. The wettest months are March, October and December (4.3 inches in March). Inside the workable window, May and June are the driest, at 3.1 and 3.2 inches. The station averages about 6 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 Atlantic City
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 Atlantic City the blend is 1.12.
Carpenters (47-2031), 60% of the weighting: a median of $29.25 an hour, in line with the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $23.62 and $35.44 an hour. About 970 work in the metro. That is 57.5 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 $26.50 an hour, which is 17% above the national $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $20.00 and $35.67 an hour. BLS counts 1,140 of them working in the area, 67.6 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 $48.30 an hour, 63% above the US median of $29.71. The middle half of them earn between $29.97 and $59.71 an hour. About 150 work in the metro. That is 8.9 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 7.7 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
A quick sensitivity check: moving the lead trade (carpenters) from the median to the 75th percentile wage adds about $1,050 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $970. That is a swing of roughly 5.5% to 6.0% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
