Where the Sheboygan price comes from
We price the labor side from BLS wage data for 3 trades: glaziers at 50%, carpenters at 40%, general maintenance and repair workers at 10%. Weighted together, Sheboygan wages are 1.09 times the national level. Labor makes up about 30% of the midpoint estimate (27% at national prices). BLS does not publish this trade for the metro, so we used the Wisconsin statewide median.
Materials are scaled with BEA's regional price parity for goods. Sheboygan is at 93.8 against 100 for the US, so a materials line of $7,100 nationally becomes $6,650 here (midpoint, 10 windows). Permits follow the all-items index of 94.0: $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 Sheboygan. The wage table below marks each row.

Sheboygan weather and the window replacement calendar
Climate numbers on this page come from NOAA's 1991-2020 U.S. Climate Normals at the nearest suitable station, Sheboygan (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 Sheboygan are April through November: 8 of 12. Outside them, January, February, March and December have an average daytime high under 45°F.
In January, February, March 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.
Sheboygan gets about 35 inches of precipitation in a normal year. The wettest months are May, June and August (4.0 inches in August). Inside the workable window, September and November are the driest, at 2.7 and 2.4 inches. The station averages about 9 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.

Specs and site conditions that change a Sheboygan bid
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

What local crews earn in Sheboygan
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 Sheboygan the blend is 1.09.
Glaziers (47-2121) carry 50% of the labor weighting. BLS does not publish this trade for the Sheboygan metro, so we used the Wisconsin statewide median: $30.00 an hour against $27.44 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $24.52 and $44.10 an hour.
Carpenters (47-2031), 40% of the weighting: a median of $30.17 an hour, 4% above the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $24.39 and $40.68 an hour. About 230 work in the metro. That is 37.9 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 43.1 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.
For general maintenance and repair workers (49-9071, weighted 10%) the local median is $30.01 an hour, which is 26% above the national $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $23.94 and $35.64 an hour. BLS counts 760 of them working in the area, 125.4 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 98.4), so the local bench is deeper than average.
A quick sensitivity check: moving the lead trade (glaziers) from the median to the 75th percentile wage adds about $680 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $270. That is a swing of roughly 2.8% to 7.2% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
Sheboygan has 60,630 jobs in total (BLS, May 2025), ranking 285th by size among the 300 metros on this site.
