Where the Bend price comes from
Labor is 27% 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 Bend the blended ratio comes out at 1.05.
Materials are scaled with BEA's regional price parity for goods. Bend is at 105.3 against 100 for the US, so a materials line of $7,100 nationally becomes $7,450 here (midpoint, 10 windows). Permits follow the all-items index of 103.6: $0 to $0.
What local crews earn in Bend
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 Bend the blend is 1.05.
Glaziers (47-2121), 50% of the weighting: a median of $29.03 an hour, 6% above the US median of $27.44. The middle half of them earn between $23.49 and $37.61 an hour. About 60 work in the metro. That is 5.5 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 3.8 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
Carpenters (47-2031), 40% of the weighting: a median of $29.64 an hour, in line with the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $23.71 and $35.99 an hour. About 1,180 work in the metro. That is 109.0 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 $26.28 an hour, which is 10% above the national $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $22.40 and $30.43 an hour. BLS counts 980 of them working in the area, 90.5 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 98.4), so the local bench is about average.
A quick sensitivity check: moving the lead trade (glaziers) from the median to the 75th percentile wage adds about $420 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $270. That is a swing of roughly 2.6% to 4.1% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
Bend has 108,240 jobs in total (BLS, May 2025), ranking 193rd by size among the 300 metros on this site.

Bend 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, Bend (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 Bend are February through November: 10 of 12. Outside them, January and December have an average daytime high under 45°F.
In January 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.
Bend gets about 11 inches of precipitation in a normal year, including roughly 22 inches of snow. The wettest months are January, November and December (2.1 inches in December). Inside the workable window, August and September are the driest, at 0.3 and 0.3 inches. The station averages about 16 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.
