Spokane 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 Spokane is 1.02 times the national level.
For glaziers (47-2121, weighted 50%) the local median is $27.95 an hour, which is in line with the national $27.44. The middle half of them earn between $23.27 and $35.52 an hour. BLS counts 120 of them working in the area, 4.7 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 $29.76 an hour, which is in line with the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $27.92 and $36.43 an hour. BLS counts 2,020 of them working in the area, 79.0 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 $25.13 an hour, 5% above the US median of $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $21.88 and $31.07 an hour. About 2,430 work in the metro. That is 95.0 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 ($35.52 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $370. At the 25th percentile ($23.27) it shrinks by about $230. The total moves by 3.6% or 2.2%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.
For context on the local economy, BLS counts 255,820 jobs in the Spokane-Spokane Valley area. That makes it the 101st largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.16% of US employment.

Climate in Spokane: timing your windows job
We use NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals for Spokane Felts Fld (5 miles from the city center). These are 30-year monthly averages, not forecasts.
March through November is the stretch where exterior installation runs into the fewest weather problems in Spokane (9 of 12 months). January, February and December have an average daytime high under 45°F.
In January, February 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.
Spokane gets about 17 inches of precipitation in a normal year. The wettest months are January, November and December (2.2 inches in December). Inside the workable window, July and August are the driest, at 0.7 and 0.5 inches. The station averages about 29 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.
