What local crews earn in Canton
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 Canton the blend is 1.02.
Carpenters (47-2031), 60% of the weighting: a median of $27.18 an hour, 7% below the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $21.33 and $34.27 an hour. About 380 work in the metro. That is 23.3 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 $25.85 an hour, which is 14% above the national $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $21.85 and $35.80 an hour. BLS counts 1,100 of them working in the area, 67.5 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 $36.16 an hour, 22% above the US median of $29.71. The middle half of them earn between $27.51 and $38.12 an hour. About 120 work in the metro. That is 7.4 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 7.7 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.
A quick sensitivity check: moving the lead trade (carpenters) from the median to the 75th percentile wage adds about $1,250 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $1,000. That is a swing of roughly 6.1% to 7.5% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
Canton-Massillon has 163,080 jobs in total (BLS, May 2025), ranking 145th by size among the 300 metros on this site.

Canton 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, Akron Canton Rgnl Ap (10 miles from the city center). They are 30-year averages, so any one year can run hotter, colder or wetter.
For exterior installation, the comfortable months in Canton are March through November: 9 of 12. Outside them, 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.
Canton gets about 42 inches of precipitation in a normal year, including roughly 47 inches of snow. The wettest months are May, June and July (4.4 inches in June). Inside the workable window, March and November are the driest, at 3.2 and 3.1 inches. The station averages about 11 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.
