Why Medford 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 Medford is 1.11 (US = 1.00), which puts labor at 28% of the total. BLS does not publish this trade for the metro, so we used the Oregon statewide median.
Materials are scaled with BEA's regional price parity for goods. Medford 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 101.4: $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 Medford. The wage table below marks each row.

The best months for windows in Medford
Climate numbers on this page come from NOAA's 1991-2020 U.S. Climate Normals at the nearest suitable station, Medford Rogue Vly 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 Medford are September through June: 10 of 12. Outside them, July and August have an average daytime high of 90°F or more.
Medford gets about 18 inches of precipitation in a normal year, including roughly 3 inches of snow. The wettest months are January, November and December (3.5 inches in December). Inside the workable window, June and September are the driest, at 0.7 and 0.5 inches. The station averages about 61 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: Medford 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 Medford the blend is 1.11.
Glaziers (47-2121) carry 50% of the labor weighting. BLS does not publish this trade for the Medford metro, so we used the Oregon statewide median: $34.08 an hour against $27.44 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $24.40 and $48.34 an hour.
Carpenters (47-2031), 40% of the weighting: a median of $27.85 an hour, 4% below the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $24.01 and $35.12 an hour. About 910 work in the metro. That is 102.2 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 $24.61 an hour, which is 3% above the national $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $20.67 and $29.94 an hour. BLS counts 700 of them working in the area, 78.6 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 98.4), so the local bench is thinner than average.
A quick sensitivity check: moving the lead trade (glaziers) from the median to the 75th percentile wage adds about $690 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $470. That is a swing of roughly 4.5% to 6.7% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
Medford has 89,060 jobs in total (BLS, May 2025), ranking 220th by size among the 300 metros on this site.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |
