Why Greeley prices look the way they do
Labor is 29% of the midpoint bill here, against 27% nationally. The mix of trades behind this job is glaziers (50%), carpenters (40%), general maintenance and repair workers (10%). We weight each trade's local median wage by that share and compare it with the national median. In Greeley the blended ratio comes out at 1.04. BLS does not publish this trade for the metro, so we used the Colorado statewide median.
On the materials line, the BEA goods price index for the Greeley metro is 96.1 (US = 100). The midpoint materials bill for 10 windows comes to $6,800, compared with $7,100 at national prices. Permit and inspection fees are scaled by the broader index (100.2) and land at $0 to $0.
Data note: 50% of the labor weighting for this project uses a statewide median because BLS has no published metro figure for that trade in Greeley. The wage table below marks each row.

Climate in Greeley: timing your windows job
We use NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals for Greeley Unc (5 miles from the city center). These are 30-year monthly averages, not forecasts.
February through June and August through November are the stretches where exterior installation runs into the fewest weather problems in Greeley (9 of 12 months). January and December have an average daytime high under 45°F; July has an average daytime high of 90°F or more.
In January 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.
Greeley gets about 15 inches of precipitation in a normal year, including roughly 35 inches of snow. The wettest months are April, May and June (2.6 inches in May). Inside the workable window, February and November are the driest, at 0.5 and 0.7 inches. The station averages about 58 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.

Greeley labor market for windows
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 Greeley is 1.04 times the national level.
Glaziers (47-2121) carry 50% of the labor weighting. BLS does not publish this trade for the Greeley metro, so we used the Colorado statewide median: $29.97 an hour against $27.44 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $26.93 and $35.68 an hour.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 40%) the local median is $27.83 an hour, which is 4% below the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $24.38 and $30.06 an hour. BLS counts 560 of them working in the area, 46.8 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 43.1), so the local bench is about average.
General maintenance and repair workers (49-9071), 10% of the weighting: a median of $25.77 an hour, 8% above the US median of $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $21.73 and $31.27 an hour. About 980 work in the metro. That is 82.0 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 ($35.68 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $280. At the 25th percentile ($26.93) it shrinks by about $150. The total moves by 2.9% or 1.5%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.
For context on the local economy, BLS counts 119,540 jobs in the Greeley area. That makes it the 184th largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.08% of US employment.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Glaziers (47-2121) | 50% | $26.93 | $29.97 | $35.68 | $27.44 | 1.09 | state |
| Carpenters (47-2031) | 40% | $24.38 | $27.83 | $30.06 | $29.12 | 0.96 | metro |
