A legitimate business bills 2–2.5× wages to cover payroll taxes, insurance, equipment, overhead and profit, which puts fair billed labor at $33–$48/hour. Each job range above multiplies that rate by typical labor-hours. A quote far above the range needs a specific reason: access, condition, materials grade, season. Ask for it. This is an educational estimate, not a quote.

Before you hire in Texas

Texas has no general contractor license at all — anyone can call themselves a GC. Electricians and HVAC are TDLR-licensed and plumbers are licensed by TSBPE, so verify the trades and vet the GC through references and insurance instead.
