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 Orlando is 0.84 times the national level.
For glaziers (47-2121, weighted 50%) the local median is $22.72 an hour, which is 17% below the national $27.44. The middle half of them earn between $18.97 and $28.33 an hour. BLS counts 650 of them working in the area, 4.6 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 $23.92 an hour, which is 18% below the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $21.13 and $28.25 an hour. BLS counts 5,360 of them working in the area, 38.0 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 $22.15 an hour, 7% below the US median of $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $18.25 and $25.94 an hour. About 16,380 work in the metro. That is 116.0 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 98.4 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
Quotes come from real crews, not medians. If the glaziers on your job are paid at the 75th percentile ($28.33 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $270. At the 25th percentile ($18.97) it shrinks by about $180. The total moves by 3.0% or 2.0%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.
For context on the local economy, BLS counts 1,411,730 jobs in the Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford area. That makes it the 20th largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.91% of US employment.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Glaziers (47-2121) | 50% | $18.97 | $22.72 | $28.33 | $27.44 | 0.83 | metro |
| Carpenters (47-2031) | 40% | $21.13 | $23.92 | $28.25 | $29.12 | 0.82 | metro |
| General maintenance and repair workers (49-9071) | 10% | $18.25 | $22.15 | $25.94 | $23.84 | 0.93 | metro |

When to schedule windows in Orlando
We use NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals for Orlando Intl Ap (5 miles from the city center). These are 30-year monthly averages, not forecasts.
October through May is the stretch where exterior installation runs into the fewest weather problems in Orlando (8 of 12 months). June, July, August and September have an average daytime high of 90°F or more.
Orlando gets about 51 inches of precipitation in a normal year. The wettest months are June, July and August (8.1 inches in June). Inside the workable window, February and November are the driest, at 2.0 and 1.8 inches. The station averages about 110 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.
