Why Spartanburg 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 $24.35 an hour. Add the other trades involved and the blended wage index for Spartanburg is 0.89 (US = 1.00), which puts labor at 26% of the total. BLS does not publish this trade for the metro, so we used the South Carolina statewide median.
On the materials line, the BEA goods price index for the Spartanburg metro is 96.3 (US = 100). The midpoint materials bill for 10 windows comes to $6,850, compared with $7,100 at national prices. Permit and inspection fees are scaled by the broader index (91.1) and land at $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 Spartanburg. The wage table below marks each row.
When to schedule windows in Spartanburg
We use NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals for Spartanburg 3 Sse (5 miles from the city center). These are 30-year monthly averages, not forecasts.
August through June is the stretch where exterior installation runs into the fewest weather problems in Spartanburg (11 of 12 months). July has an average daytime high of 90°F or more.
Spartanburg gets about 50 inches of precipitation in a normal year. The wettest months are March, June and December (4.8 inches in March). Inside the workable window, September and November are the driest, at 3.6 and 3.7 inches. The station averages about 57 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.

Local wages behind the labor line
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 Spartanburg is 0.89 times the national level.
Glaziers (47-2121) carry 50% of the labor weighting. BLS does not publish this trade for the Spartanburg metro, so we used the South Carolina statewide median: $24.35 an hour against $27.44 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $21.50 and $27.82 an hour.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 40%) the local median is $24.88 an hour, which is 15% below the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $22.32 and $29.04 an hour. BLS counts 300 of them working in the area, 18.2 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 $25.53 an hour, 7% above the US median of $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $20.95 and $30.88 an hour. About 2,010 work in the metro. That is 121.7 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 ($27.82 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $170. At the 25th percentile ($21.50) it shrinks by about $140. The total moves by 1.8% or 1.5%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.
For context on the local economy, BLS counts 165,150 jobs in the Spartanburg area. That makes it the 143rd largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.11% of US employment.
