Carpenter prevailing wage, Freestone County group, Texas (3 counties)

DOL sets the same carpenter rates, row for row, in 3 counties: Freestone, Trinity and Tyler. Every figure on this page applies in each of them.

Which kind of construction is the job?

The kind of construction decides the rate: each wage determination covers one. Residential covers homes and apartments up to four stories.
