Where the Texarkana price comes from
The wage side of the estimate leans on carpenters, who do 60% of the hours on a typical job. Their local median is $20.51 an hour. Add the other trades involved and the blended wage index for Texarkana is 0.75 (US = 1.00), which puts labor at 43% of the total.
Materials are scaled with BEA's regional price parity for goods. Texarkana is at 93.7 against 100 for the US, so a materials line of $1,700 nationally becomes $1,600 here (midpoint, 1 door). Permits follow the all-items index of 84.0: $0 to $0.
Data note: 30% of the labor weighting for this project uses a statewide median because BLS has no published metro figure for that trade in Texarkana. The wage table below marks each row.
What local crews earn in Texarkana
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 0.75.
Carpenters (47-2031), 60% 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.
Glaziers (47-2121) carry 30% of the labor weighting. BLS does not publish this trade for the Texarkana metro, so we used the Texas statewide median: $22.95 an hour against $27.44 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $18.67 and $26.49 an hour.
For general maintenance and repair workers (49-9071, weighted 10%) the local median is $19.25 an hour, which is 19% below the national $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $15.39 and $23.96 an hour. BLS counts 570 of them working in the area, 99.0 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 98.4), so the local bench is about average.
A quick sensitivity check: moving the lead trade (carpenters) from the median to the 75th percentile wage adds about $110 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $100. That is a swing of roughly 3.7% to 4.0% 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.
