Who does the work: Texarkana trade wages
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 Texarkana the blend is 0.73.
Carpenters (47-2031), 80% of the weighting: a median of $20.51 an hour, 30% below the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $17.41 and $23.92 an hour. About 90 work in the metro. That is 15.6 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 43.1 nationally, so expect fewer local crews to bid.
For electricians (47-2111, weighted 10%) the local median is $27.95 an hour, which is 8% below the national $30.38. The middle half of them earn between $21.08 and $35.09 an hour. BLS counts 390 of them working in the area, 67.7 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 48.7), so the local bench is deeper than average.
Plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters (47-2152), 10% of the weighting: a median of $23.31 an hour, 24% below the US median of $30.67. The middle half of them earn between $18.75 and $28.45 an hour. About 150 work in the metro. That is 26.1 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 30.0 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.
A quick sensitivity check: moving the lead trade (carpenters) from the median to the 75th percentile wage adds about $410 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $370. That is a swing of roughly 4.9% to 5.4% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
Texarkana has 57,580 jobs in total (BLS, May 2025), ranking 296th by size among the 300 metros on this site.

Why two Texarkana quotes can differ
Permit
Kitchen remodeling permits are $500-$1,500 where one is needed, usually when you change layout, plumbing or wiring.
Stock, semi-custom or custom
Stock cabinets run $100-$400 per linear foot installed, semi-custom $150-$700, and custom $500-$1,200 (HomeGuide).
Layout changes
Keeping the plumbing and wiring where it is saves real money. Moving them brings in plumbers and electricians.
