Texas Framing Contractors

Hiring a Framing Contractor in Texas

Buildermuse currently lists 7 framing contractors in Texas, averaging 4.7 stars across 414 verified Google reviews. Every firm listed clears the 4.0-star bar, and with ratings this close together, review volume is the better tiebreaker — a 4.6 backed by hundreds of reviews usually beats a 5.0 with a dozen. Most of the crews above operate out of San Antonio, Austin, and Carrollton.

Texas does not require a state-level general contractor license. Licensing is handled by cities and counties — Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, and Austin each have different requirements. Texas is notable for not requiring workers compensation insurance. State licenses exist for electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. With no statewide license for this work, checking city and county requirements — plus active insurance — falls on you as the hiring party.

Labor is the biggest line item on most bids, and the Texas market sets the floor: construction workers here average $38.45 an hour — about $79,976 a year — across 869,756 workers statewide, per Bureau of Labor Statistics data. Use that figure as a sanity check when comparing quotes — a bid priced far below market labor rates usually means subcontracted or uninsured crews.
