Weighted together, Cheyenne wages are 0.95 times the national level. Labor makes up about 27% of the midpoint estimate (27% at national prices). BLS does not publish this trade for the metro, so we used the Wyoming statewide median.
On the materials line, the BEA goods price index for the Cheyenne metro is 95.4 (US = 100). The midpoint materials bill for 10 windows comes to $6,750, compared with $7,100 at national prices. Permit and inspection fees are scaled by the broader index (96.5) and land at $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 Cheyenne. The wage table below marks each row.

Climate in Cheyenne: timing your windows job
We use NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals for Cheyenne (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 Cheyenne (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.
Cheyenne gets about 15 inches of precipitation in a normal year, including roughly 63 inches of snow. The wettest months are May, June and July (2.4 inches in May). Inside the workable window, March and November are the driest, at 1.0 and 0.6 inches. The station averages about 15 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.

Cheyenne 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 Cheyenne is 0.95 times the national level.
Glaziers (47-2121) carry 50% of the labor weighting. BLS does not publish this trade for the Cheyenne metro, so we used the Wyoming statewide median: $26.46 an hour against $27.44 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $25.20 and $34.50 an hour.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 40%) the local median is $27.00 an hour, which is 7% below the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $23.02 and $28.85 an hour. BLS counts 310 of them working in the area, 64.0 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 $22.95 an hour, 4% below the US median of $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $19.18 and $29.84 an hour. About 540 work in the metro. That is 111.4 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 ($34.50 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $390. At the 25th percentile ($25.20) it shrinks by about $60. The total moves by 4.2% or 0.7%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.
For context on the local economy, BLS counts 48,470 jobs in the Cheyenne area. That makes it the 300th largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.03% of US employment.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Glaziers (47-2121) | 50% | $25.20 | $26.46 | $34.50 | $27.44 | 0.96 | state |
| Carpenters (47-2031) | 40% | $23.02 | $27.00 | $28.85 | $29.12 | 0.93 | metro |
| General maintenance and repair workers (49-9071) | 10% | $19.18 | $22.95 | $29.84 | $23.84 | 0.96 | metro |
