Master/Lead Mason Pay Rate
Hey guys, I own a historic restoration company. I’m one of the few that perform that type of work in my state and the surrounding states. I’m personally a carpenter, I can repoint brick, rebuild a chimney, etc. but I am far from a mason.
My father was a foreman, layout guy, and then historic restoration mason towards the end of his career. I charge him out at about $75.00 an hour, is that a reasonable price? I’m at about $50.00 an hour and I specialize in things like plaster, lathe, old growth wood, shop carpentry, and work with historic societies. He’s done a lot of my history masonry so I wanted to know if I was off base with that pay scale. I know what I do is specialized, but even so I thought I’d ask. Thanks again!
