Myrtle Beach labor market for windows
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 Myrtle Beach is 0.80 times the national level.
For glaziers (47-2121, weighted 50%) the local median is $22.19 an hour, which is 19% below the national $27.44. The middle half of them earn between $18.47 and $28.97 an hour. BLS counts 110 of them working in the area, 7.5 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 3.8), so the local bench is deeper than average.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 40%) the local median is $22.96 an hour, which is 21% below the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $20.40 and $27.34 an hour. BLS counts 510 of them working in the area, 34.9 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 $18.64 an hour, 22% below the US median of $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $16.99 and $22.59 an hour. About 2,080 work in the metro. That is 142.2 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 ($28.97 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $330. At the 25th percentile ($18.47) it shrinks by about $180. The total moves by 3.7% or 2.0%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.
For context on the local economy, BLS counts 146,260 jobs in the Myrtle Beach-Conway-North Myrtle Beach area. That makes it the 157th largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.09% of US employment.

Climate in Myrtle Beach: timing your windows job
We use NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals for Myrtle Beach (5 miles from the city center). These are 30-year monthly averages, not forecasts.
Weather is not a serious constraint for exterior installation in Myrtle Beach: no month in the averages is cold enough (an average daytime high under 45°F) or hot enough (an average daytime high of 90°F or more) to rule it out, so the workable window is all year.
Myrtle Beach gets about 54 inches of precipitation in a normal year. The wettest months are July, August and September (6.8 inches in September). The station averages about 22 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.
