Why Shreveport prices look the way they do
Labor is 25% 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 Shreveport the blended ratio comes out at 0.82. BLS does not publish this trade for the metro, so we used the Louisiana statewide median.
On the materials line, the BEA goods price index for the Shreveport metro is 93.7 (US = 100). The midpoint materials bill for 10 windows comes to $6,650, compared with $7,100 at national prices. Permit and inspection fees are scaled by the broader index (84.8) 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 Shreveport. The wage table below marks each row.
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 Shreveport is 0.82 times the national level.
Glaziers (47-2121) carry 50% of the labor weighting. BLS does not publish this trade for the Shreveport metro, so we used the Louisiana statewide median: $22.67 an hour against $27.44 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $18.73 and $28.47 an hour.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 40%) the local median is $22.56 an hour, which is 23% below the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $18.97 and $28.14 an hour. BLS counts 480 of them working in the area, 29.5 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 $22.27 an hour, 7% below the US median of $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $17.18 and $29.02 an hour. About 2,110 work in the metro. That is 129.6 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 ($28.47 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $280. At the 25th percentile ($18.73) it shrinks by about $190. The total moves by 3.2% or 2.2%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.
For context on the local economy, BLS counts 162,750 jobs in the Shreveport-Bossier City area. That makes it the 146th largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.10% of US employment.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |

When to schedule windows in Shreveport
We use NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals for Shreveport (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 Shreveport (8 of 12 months). June, July, August and September have an average daytime high of 90°F or more.
Shreveport gets about 51 inches of precipitation in a normal year. The wettest months are March, April and December (5.2 inches in April). Inside the workable window, February and November are the driest, at 4.3 and 4.0 inches. The station averages about 99 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.
