When to schedule vinyl siding in Cheyenne
We use NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals for Cheyenne (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 Cheyenne (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.
Cheyenne gets about 15 inches of precipitation in a normal year, including roughly 63 inches of snow. The wettest months are May, June and July (2.4 inches in May). Inside the workable window, March and November are the driest, at 1.0 and 0.6 inches. The station averages about 15 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.

Specs and site conditions that change a Cheyenne bid
Labor and season
Siding labor is $40-$80 an hour or $2-$6 per sq ft, and it is highest in warm months.
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).
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 Cheyenne is 0.94 times the national level.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 60%) the local median is $27.00 an hour, which is 7% below the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $23.02 and $28.85 an hour. BLS counts 310 of them working in the area, 64.0 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 43.1), so the local bench is deeper than average.
Construction laborers (47-2061), 30% of the weighting: a median of $22.23 an hour, in line with the US median of $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $18.67 and $23.46 an hour. About 420 work in the metro. That is 86.7 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 70.5 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
For sheet metal workers (47-2211, weighted 10%) the local median is $25.64 an hour, which is 14% below the national $29.71. The middle half of them earn between $25.03 and $34.50 an hour. BLS counts 100 of them working in the area, 20.6 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 7.7), so the local bench is deeper than average.
Quotes come from real crews, not medians. If the carpenters on your job are paid at the 75th percentile ($28.85 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $320. At the 25th percentile ($23.02) it shrinks by about $690. The total moves by 2.0% or 4.3%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.
For context on the local economy, BLS counts 48,470 jobs in the Cheyenne area. That makes it the 300th largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.03% of US employment.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carpenters (47-2031) | 60% | $23.02 | $27.00 | $28.85 | $29.12 | 0.93 | metro |
