What is behind the Clarksville number
Labor is 25% 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 Clarksville the blended ratio comes out at 0.84. BLS does not publish this trade for the metro, so we used the Tennessee statewide median.
Materials are scaled with BEA's regional price parity for goods. Clarksville is at 96.2 against 100 for the US, so a materials line of $7,100 nationally becomes $6,800 here (midpoint, 10 windows). Permits follow the all-items index of 90.9: $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 Clarksville. The wage table below marks each row.
The best months for windows in Clarksville
Climate numbers on this page come from NOAA's 1991-2020 U.S. Climate Normals at the nearest suitable station, Clarksville Wwtp (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 Clarksville are September through June: 10 of 12. Outside them, July and August have an average daytime high of 90°F or more.
Clarksville gets about 54 inches of precipitation in a normal year. The wettest months are April, May and December (5.6 inches in May). Inside the workable window, January and September are the driest, at 4.0 and 3.4 inches. The station averages about 57 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.

Why two Clarksville quotes can differ
Window type
Single-hung and picture windows are cheapest; bay and bow windows can reach $3,000-$8,000+.
Count
Replacing 10 to 15 windows runs $4,500-$22,500; at 25 windows it is $11,250-$37,500.
Permit
Window permits are $50-$200 each, or $400-$600 total for a multi-window job, and are often only needed when you change the opening (HomeGuide). No permit fee is included here because many cities do not ask for one on same-size replacements.
Is Clarksville cheap or dear? The local comparison
Contractors rarely work more than an hour or two from home, so the neighboring metros set a rough ceiling and floor for your quotes. Midpoints for 10 windows range from $9,000 to $9,500 across Clarksville and its five closest metros.

Who does the work: Clarksville 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 Clarksville the blend is 0.84.
Glaziers (47-2121) carry 50% of the labor weighting. BLS does not publish this trade for the Clarksville metro, so we used the Tennessee statewide median: $23.37 an hour against $27.44 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $21.42 and $28.39 an hour.
Carpenters (47-2031), 40% of the weighting: a median of $23.60 an hour, 19% below the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $21.48 and $28.68 an hour. About 290 work in the metro. That is 28.1 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 $22.58 an hour, which is 5% below the national $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $18.07 and $28.47 an hour. BLS counts 1,140 of them working in the area, 110.4 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 $240 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $95. That is a swing of roughly 1.0% to 2.7% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
Clarksville has 103,220 jobs in total (BLS, May 2025), ranking 200th by size among the 300 metros on this site.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |
