Climate in Longview: timing your windows job
We use NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals for Longview #2 (5 miles from the city center). These are 30-year monthly averages, not forecasts.
October through May is the stretch where exterior installation runs into the fewest weather problems in Longview (8 of 12 months). June, July, August and September have an average daytime high of 90°F or more.
Longview gets about 51 inches of precipitation in a normal year. The wettest months are March, April and December (5.3 inches in December). Inside the workable window, January and November are the driest, at 4.2 and 3.4 inches. The station averages about 112 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.

Longview 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 Longview is 0.76 times the national level.
For glaziers (47-2121, weighted 50%) the local median is $19.73 an hour, which is 28% below the national $27.44. The middle half of them earn between $17.26 and $23.24 an hour. BLS counts 70 of them working in the area, 5.9 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 $22.19 an hour, which is 24% below the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $21.58 and $27.83 an hour. BLS counts 370 of them working in the area, 31.3 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 $22.33 an hour, 6% below the US median of $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $17.77 and $28.65 an hour. About 1,420 work in the metro. That is 120.3 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 ($23.24 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $170. At the 25th percentile ($17.26) it shrinks by about $120. The total moves by 2.0% or 1.4%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.
For context on the local economy, BLS counts 118,060 jobs in the Longview area. That makes it the 186th largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.08% of US employment.
