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 Little Rock is 0.80 times the national level.
For glaziers (47-2121, weighted 50%) the local median is $21.49 an hour, which is 22% below the national $27.44. The middle half of them earn between $19.13 and $23.38 an hour. BLS counts 160 of them working in the area, 4.5 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 3.8), so the local bench is deeper than average.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 40%) the local median is $23.10 an hour, which is 21% below the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $20.08 and $27.36 an hour. BLS counts 1,080 of them working in the area, 30.1 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 43.1), so the local bench is thinner than average.
General maintenance and repair workers (49-9071), 10% of the weighting: a median of $21.76 an hour, 9% below the US median of $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $17.84 and $27.23 an hour. About 2,760 work in the metro. That is 77.0 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 98.4 nationally, so expect fewer local crews to bid.
Quotes come from real crews, not medians. If the glaziers on your job are paid at the 75th percentile ($23.38 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $90. At the 25th percentile ($19.13) it shrinks by about $110. The total moves by 1.0% or 1.3%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.
For context on the local economy, BLS counts 358,210 jobs in the Little Rock-North Little Rock-Conway area. That makes it the 72nd largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.23% of US employment.

When to schedule windows in Little Rock
We use NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals for Little Rock Ap Adams Fld (5 miles from the city center). These are 30-year monthly averages, not forecasts.
September through June is the stretch where exterior installation runs into the fewest weather problems in Little Rock (10 of 12 months). July and August have an average daytime high of 90°F or more.
Little Rock gets about 50 inches of precipitation in a normal year, including roughly 4 inches of snow. The wettest months are April, May and December (5.6 inches in April). Inside the workable window, January and September are the driest, at 3.5 and 3.0 inches. The station averages about 76 days a year at 90°F or above.
