What local crews earn in Virginia Beach
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 Virginia Beach the blend is 0.86.
Carpenters (47-2031), 60% of the weighting: a median of $24.76 an hour, 15% below the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $22.13 and $29.02 an hour. About 4,020 work in the metro. That is 52.7 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 $18.51 an hour, which is 18% below the national $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $17.29 and $21.90 an hour. BLS counts 5,660 of them working in the area, 74.2 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 $30.48 an hour, in line with the US median of $29.71. The middle half of them earn between $23.41 and $30.48 an hour. About 2,080 work in the metro. That is 27.3 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 $740 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $460. That is a swing of roughly 3.0% to 4.8% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.

Virginia Beach 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, Oceana Nas (5 miles from the city center). They are 30-year averages, so any one year can run hotter, colder or wetter.
Weather is not a serious constraint for exterior installation in Virginia Beach: no month in the averages is cold enough (an average daytime high under 45°F) or hot enough (an average daytime high of 90°F or more) to rule it out, so the workable window is all year.
Virginia Beach gets about 47 inches of precipitation in a normal year, including roughly 3 inches of snow. The wettest months are July, August and September (5.8 inches in July). The station averages about 32 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.
