What carpenters and the other trades earn in New York
Statewide wages come from BLS's state-level estimates, which blend big cities with small towns and rural areas. 3 trades drive the labor line for this job, and the weighted ratio against the national wage level is 1.19 for New York.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 60%) the local median is $34.77 an hour, which is 19% above the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $27.56 and $43.18 an hour. BLS counts 40,630 of them working in the state, 41.9 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 $26.89 an hour, 19% above the US median of $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $21.13 and $38.18 an hour. About 52,090 work in the state. That is 53.8 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 70.5 nationally, so expect fewer local crews to bid.
For sheet metal workers (47-2211, weighted 10%) the local median is $35.46 an hour, which is 19% above the national $29.71. The middle half of them earn between $24.00 and $46.21 an hour. BLS counts 6,570 of them working in the state, 6.8 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 7.7), so the local bench is about average.
A crew paid at the 75th percentile for carpenters ($43.18 an hour) would add about $1,450 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($27.56) would take off about $1,250. Use that as a rough guide to how far a bid can sit from our midpoint on wages alone.
BLS counts 9,688,000 jobs across New York (May 2025), which is 6.2% of US employment.

New York seasons and vinyl siding
Season matters for vinyl siding. For each New York metro below we took NOAA's 1991-2020 monthly normals from the nearest suitable station and counted comfortable months for exterior installation.
New York has the longest comfortable season of the metros we cover in New York at 9 months (March through November); Binghamton has the shortest at 8 (April through November). Rainfall runs from 35 inches a year in Rochester to 51 inches in Kingston.
We do not adjust prices by month, because we have no reliable published data on seasonal pricing. Timing is still worth raising when you collect bids.
