West Virginia seasons and windows
Weather decides when exterior installation can happen, and West Virginia is not uniform. The table uses NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals from the weather station nearest each metro we cover, and counts the months that are neither cold nor hot enough to complicate the job.
Huntington has the longest comfortable season of the metros we cover in West Virginia at 11 months (February through December); Wheeling has the shortest at 9 (March through November). Rainfall runs from 42 inches a year in Wheeling to 46 inches in Charleston.
We do not adjust prices by month, because we have no reliable published data on seasonal pricing. Timing is still worth raising when you collect bids.

What glaziers and the other trades earn in West Virginia
West Virginia's labor line is priced from 3 trades, each compared with its US median wage. After weighting by each trade's share of the work, the state comes out at 0.84 times the national level.
Glaziers (47-2121), 50% of the weighting: a median of $23.95 an hour, 13% below the US median of $27.44. The middle half of them earn between $16.66 and $31.81 an hour. About 140 work in the state. That is 2.0 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 3.8 nationally, so expect fewer local crews to bid.
Carpenters (47-2031), 40% of the weighting: a median of $23.42 an hour, 20% below the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $18.36 and $28.94 an hour. About 3,670 work in the state. That is 52.3 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 43.1 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
For general maintenance and repair workers (49-9071, weighted 10%) the local median is $18.70 an hour, which is 22% below the national $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $15.64 and $24.62 an hour. BLS counts 8,060 of them working in the state, 114.9 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 98.4), so the local bench is deeper than average.
A crew paid at the 75th percentile for glaziers ($31.81 an hour) would add about $380 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($16.66) would take off about $350. Use that as a rough guide to how far a bid can sit from our midpoint on wages alone.
BLS counts 701,610 jobs across West Virginia (May 2025), which is 0.5% of US employment.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Glaziers (47-2121) | 50% | $16.66 | $23.95 | $31.81 | $27.44 | 0.87 | state |
| Carpenters (47-2031) | 40% | $18.36 | $23.42 | $28.94 | $29.12 | 0.80 | state |

West Virginia metro-by-metro prices
1 of the 4 metros sit above the statewide midpoint of $9,050, and the top-to-bottom gap is 1%. Each row prices the default size with that metro's own BLS wages and BEA price levels, so the gap between rows is real local variation rather than a flat markup.

|---|---|---|---|
| Wheeling, WV | $4,150 – $14,100 | $9,100 | +1% |
| Huntington, WV | $4,150 – $14,000 | $9,100 | level |
