Installed cost in Albuquerque runs roughly **2% below** the national average for this trade. Here's how we got to that number. Project costs include three main components: labor, materials, and overhead. Material ships at national prices no matter where you live, and overhead is fairly consistent as well. So the main pricing difference between metro areas is labor costs. This is why a quote from a high-wage metro is rarely as far above the national average as people expect. To get Albuquerque labor costs, we compared the average hourly wage in the Albuquerque, NM area to the national average hourly wage for this trade. (source: US Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, May 2025) We found that the local trade wages sit about **10% below** the national figure. Labor costs typically make up about **20%** of a door replacement project cost, so the weighted difference between Albuquerque and national averages is **−2%**.
