How much do cement masons earn on prevailing wage jobs in Maine?
Every row below is one wage determination line: a cement mason classification, in one county, for one construction type, under one funding source. The rate that applies to your project is the row whose county, construction type and funding source all match it — a Highway rate does not apply to a Building project in the same county, and a state determination does not substitute for a federal one.
What does the cement mason classification cover?
Cement masons place, screed, float and finish concrete, and patch and repair existing concrete surfaces. On highway determinations the classification is often split between flatwork finishing and specialised work such as curb and gutter machine operation or bridge deck finishing.
Work typically covered
- Slab placement and finishing

Across the 21 federal-funded determination records WageFinder lists for cement masons in Maine, total prevailing wage runs from $19.95 to $80.22 per hour, median $19.95. There is no single statewide figure: each county's determination sets its own rate, and the same county can carry different rates for Building, Highway, Heavy and Residential work.
Does the cement mason rate include benefits?
The total prevailing wage shown is the base hourly rate plus the fringe benefit rate.

The rest list no separate fringe, meaning the base rate is the whole obligation. Fringe can be paid as bona fide benefit plan contributions, as cash added to the paycheck, or as a mix of both.
