Kennewick 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 Kennewick is 1.09 times the national level.
For glaziers (47-2121, weighted 50%) the local median is $29.94 an hour, which is 9% above the national $27.44. The middle half of them earn between $22.63 and $38.72 an hour. BLS counts 40 of them working in the area, 3.1 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 3.8), so the local bench is thinner than average.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 40%) the local median is $30.92 an hour, which is 6% above the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $29.03 and $48.19 an hour. BLS counts 1,310 of them working in the area, 101.2 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 43.1), so the local bench is deeper than average.
General maintenance and repair workers (49-9071), 10% of the weighting: a median of $28.22 an hour, 18% above the US median of $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $22.17 and $35.02 an hour. About 1,130 work in the metro. That is 87.3 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 98.4 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.
Quotes come from real crews, not medians. If the glaziers on your job are paid at the 75th percentile ($38.72 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $430. At the 25th percentile ($22.63) it shrinks by about $350. The total moves by 4.1% or 3.4%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.
For context on the local economy, BLS counts 129,490 jobs in the Kennewick-Richland area. That makes it the 169th largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.08% of US employment.

Climate in Kennewick: timing your windows job
We use NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals for Pasco Tri Cities Ap (5 miles from the city center). These are 30-year monthly averages, not forecasts.
February through June and September through November are the stretches where exterior installation runs into the fewest weather problems in Kennewick (8 of 12 months). January and December have an average daytime high under 45°F; July and August have an average daytime high of 90°F or more.
In January and December the average high stays below 45°F. Sealants, adhesives and some materials, such as vinyl, are harder to install well in the cold, and short daylight cuts the working day.
Kennewick gets about 8 inches of precipitation in a normal year. The wettest months are January, November and December (1.0 inches in January). Inside the workable window, June and September are the driest, at 0.6 and 0.3 inches. The station averages about 55 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.
