Climate in Pueblo: timing your windows job
We use NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals for Pueblo Mem Ap (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 Pueblo (10 of 12 months). July and August have an average daytime high of 90°F or more.
Pueblo gets about 12 inches of precipitation in a normal year, including roughly 28 inches of snow. The wettest months are April, July and August (2.1 inches in August). Inside the workable window, January and December are the driest, at 0.3 and 0.3 inches. The station averages about 72 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.

Pueblo 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 Pueblo is 0.99 times the national level.
For glaziers (47-2121, weighted 50%) the local median is $28.47 an hour, which is 4% above the national $27.44. The middle half of them earn between $25.00 and $36.45 an hour. BLS counts 50 of them working in the area, 8.1 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 $27.00 an hour, which is 7% below the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $22.69 and $30.98 an hour. BLS counts 180 of them working in the area, 29.1 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 $23.96 an hour, in line with the US median of $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $19.85 and $29.92 an hour. About 530 work in the metro. That is 85.8 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 98.4 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.
Quotes come from real crews, not medians. If the glaziers on your job are paid at the 75th percentile ($36.45 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $390. At the 25th percentile ($25.00) it shrinks by about $170. The total moves by 4.1% or 1.8%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.
For context on the local economy, BLS counts 61,780 jobs in the Pueblo area. That makes it the 281st largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.04% of US employment.
