Why Atlantic City prices look the way they do
The wage side of the estimate leans on glaziers, who do 50% of the hours on a typical job. Their local median is $34.08 an hour. Add the other trades involved and the blended wage index for Atlantic City is 1.12 (US = 1.00), which puts labor at 30% of the total. BLS does not publish this trade for the metro, so we used the New Jersey statewide median.
Materials are scaled with BEA's regional price parity for goods. Atlantic City is at 99.8 against 100 for the US, so a materials line of $7,100 nationally becomes $7,050 here (midpoint, 10 windows). Permits follow the all-items index of 98.9: $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 Atlantic City. The wage table below marks each row.

The best months for windows in Atlantic City
Climate numbers on this page come from NOAA's 1991-2020 U.S. Climate Normals at the nearest suitable station, Atlantic City (in the city). They are 30-year averages, so any one year can run hotter, colder or wetter.
For exterior installation, the comfortable months in Atlantic City are March through December: 10 of 12. Outside them, January and February have an average daytime high under 45°F.
In January and February 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.
Atlantic City gets about 44 inches of precipitation in a normal year. The wettest months are March, October and December (4.3 inches in March). Inside the workable window, May and June are the driest, at 3.1 and 3.2 inches. The station averages about 6 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: Atlantic City 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 Atlantic City the blend is 1.12.
Glaziers (47-2121) carry 50% of the labor weighting. BLS does not publish this trade for the Atlantic City metro, so we used the New Jersey statewide median: $34.08 an hour against $27.44 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $27.65 and $46.36 an hour.
Carpenters (47-2031), 40% of the weighting: a median of $29.25 an hour, in line with the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $23.62 and $35.44 an hour. About 970 work in the metro. That is 57.5 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 $23.29 an hour, which is in line with the national $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $19.46 and $29.74 an hour. BLS counts 2,050 of them working in the area, 121.5 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 $600 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $310. That is a swing of roughly 3.1% to 5.9% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
Atlantic City-Hammonton has 168,700 jobs in total (BLS, May 2025), ranking 139th by size among the 300 metros on this site.
