What is behind the Punta Gorda number
We price the labor side from BLS wage data for 3 trades: glaziers at 50%, carpenters at 40%, general maintenance and repair workers at 10%. Weighted together, Punta Gorda wages are 0.82 times the national level. Labor makes up about 24% of the midpoint estimate (27% at national prices). BLS does not publish this trade for the metro, so we used the Florida statewide median.
Materials are scaled with BEA's regional price parity for goods. Punta Gorda is at 96.2 against 100 for the US, so a materials line of $7,100 nationally becomes $6,800 here (midpoint, 10 windows). Permits follow the all-items index of 100.5: $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 Punta Gorda. The wage table below marks each row.
The best months for windows in Punta Gorda
Climate numbers on this page come from NOAA's 1991-2020 U.S. Climate Normals at the nearest suitable station, Punta Gorda Charlotte Co Ap (5 miles from the city center). They are 30-year averages, so any one year can run hotter, colder or wetter.
For exterior installation, the comfortable months in Punta Gorda are October through April: 7 of 12. Outside them, May, June, July, August and September have an average daytime high of 90°F or more.
Punta Gorda gets about 53 inches of precipitation in a normal year. The wettest months are June, July and August (9.2 inches in June). Inside the workable window, November and December are the driest, at 2.1 and 2.0 inches. The station averages about 124 days a year at 90°F or above.
We do not adjust the estimate by month, because we have no reliable published data on seasonal pricing. It is still worth asking contractors whether an off-peak start date changes their bid.

Who does the work: Punta Gorda trade wages
The labor line is built from BLS wage data, one trade at a time. This job draws on 3 trades. We compare each trade's local median with the US median, weight the ratios by how much of the job each trade does, and apply the blend to the national labor cost. For Punta Gorda the blend is 0.82.
Glaziers (47-2121) carry 50% of the labor weighting. BLS does not publish this trade for the Punta Gorda metro, so we used the Florida statewide median: $22.61 an hour against $27.44 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $18.11 and $28.54 an hour.
Carpenters (47-2031), 40% of the weighting: a median of $23.33 an hour, 20% below the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $20.62 and $28.72 an hour. About 340 work in the metro. That is 59.1 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 43.1 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
For general maintenance and repair workers (49-9071, weighted 10%) the local median is $21.36 an hour, which is 10% below the national $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $17.28 and $23.66 an hour. BLS counts 670 of them working in the area, 116.5 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 98.4), so the local bench is deeper than average.
A quick sensitivity check: moving the lead trade (glaziers) from the median to the 75th percentile wage adds about $290 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $220. That is a swing of roughly 2.4% to 3.2% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
Punta Gorda has 57,530 jobs in total (BLS, May 2025), ranking 297th by size among the 300 metros on this site.
