Youngstown weather and the window replacement calendar
Climate numbers on this page come from NOAA's 1991-2020 U.S. Climate Normals at the nearest suitable station, Youngstown Rgnl Ap (10 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 Youngstown are March through November: 9 of 12. Outside them, January, February and December have an average daytime high under 45°F.
In January, February and December 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.
Youngstown gets about 41 inches of precipitation in a normal year, including roughly 68 inches of snow. The wettest months are June, July and September (4.3 inches in July). Inside the workable window, March and November are the driest, at 3.2 and 3.0 inches. The station averages about 8 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.

What local crews earn in Youngstown
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 Youngstown the blend is 0.99.
Glaziers (47-2121), 50% of the weighting: a median of $28.26 an hour, in line with the US median of $27.44. The middle half of them earn between $22.21 and $30.44 an hour. About 60 work in the metro. That is 3.7 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 3.8 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.
Carpenters (47-2031), 40% of the weighting: a median of $27.39 an hour, 6% below the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $21.75 and $35.03 an hour. About 460 work in the metro. That is 28.7 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 43.1 nationally, so expect fewer local crews to bid.
For general maintenance and repair workers (49-9071, weighted 10%) the local median is $23.45 an hour, which is in line with the national $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $18.61 and $28.94 an hour. BLS counts 2,000 of them working in the area, 124.9 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 $110 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $290. That is a swing of roughly 3.2% to 1.1% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
Youngstown-Warren has 160,160 jobs in total (BLS, May 2025), ranking 148th by size among the 300 metros on this site.
