Drywall Installer / Lather prevailing wage, Dale County group, Alabama (3 counties)
DOL sets the same drywall installer or lather rates, row for row, in 3 counties: Bullock, Dale and Pike. Every figure on this page applies in each of them.
$11.18an hour, base wage + fringe benefits (our sum)
$11.18 base wage + $0.00 fringe benefits · Residential · SUAL2007-117
On federally funded or assisted residential construction in each of these 3 counties, a drywall installer or lather must be paid at least $11.18 an hour: a $11.18 base wage plus $0.00 in fringe benefits, under wage determination AL20260033 (modification 1). DOL prints no total, so $11.18 is our sum of the two.
Wage determination AL20260033, modification 1, published May 18, 2026, for residential construction; rate identifier SUAL2007-117 (October 23, 2007). Checked against sam.gov on October 25, 2026.
Davis-Bacon is the only prevailing wage here (federally funded or assisted work). Alabama has no state prevailing wage law (DOL state table).
- This base is below $13.65, the Executive Order 13658 minimum. Contracts that order covers must pay at least that (see the WD's note).
Base wage and fringe benefits: $11.18 + $0.00
The base wage is the taxable hourly wage. DOL prints the fringe benefits as one hourly figure, not itemized; it can go to health, pension, vacation and training plans, or be paid as cash where the state allows.
| Base wage (taxable) | $11.18 |
| Base + fringe benefits (our sum; DOL prints no total) | $11.18 |
When does this rate change?
- A contract keeps the wage determination in its bid documents. Modifications published before bid opening apply to it, though one published less than 10 days before can be left out if the agency finds there isn't time to tell bidders (29 CFR 1.6(c)).
- DOL changes a WD by publishing a numbered modification on SAM.gov. This page reads the modification named in the Source line; the Alabama change log lists what each one changed.
