The masonry contractor industry in Wisconsin

Wisconsin had 399 masonry contractors in 2023, according to Census County Business Patterns (NAICS 238140, Masonry Contractors). They employed 2,168 people in mid-March and reported $149.2 million in annual payroll. That is the 15th highest count among the 51 states and DC with published figures. Masonry contractors make up 0.28% of the 144,774 business establishments in the state.

Per 100,000 residents (2024 estimate) Wisconsin has 6.7 masonry contractors, 24.7% above the national rate of 5.4. The average establishment has 5.4 employees against 7.7 nationally. Payroll per employee is $68,837, 11.9% above the U.S. figure of $61,509.

Where masonry contractors in Wisconsin are concentrated

Census published masonry contractor counts for 26 metro or micropolitan areas that include part of Wisconsin. The largest is Minneapolis, MN-WI, with 276 establishments (a multi-state area; its count covers every state it spans). Single-state metro and micropolitan areas account for 82% of the statewide total; the rest are outside any published area or in areas Census suppressed.

Team sizes at masonry contractors in Wisconsin

71.9% of Wisconsin's masonry contractors with employees had fewer than five people in March 2023, compared with 68.7% nationally. 87.7% had fewer than ten. That is the size of team where a missed call usually means nobody was free, not that nobody was on staff.

Calls a masonry contractor in Wisconsin has to catch

Masonry contractors take calls about brick, stone, chimneys and retaining walls, and crews are typically outdoors on site. A business line that rings field phones keeps estimates from slipping. That holds for masonry contractors in Wisconsin as much as anywhere.

Calls a masonry contractor in Wisconsin might handle in a typical week include:

• A customer calls for a patio estimate.
• A property manager calls about repointing.
• A homeowner calls about a crumbling chimney.

After-hours calls

After-hours calls are mostly estimate requests.

Callata voicemail is transcribed and triaged for urgency, and business-hours routing decides where calls go once you close.

Phone system pricing for a 5-person masonry contractor

Masonry contractors in Wisconsin average 5.4 employees, so the comparison uses a 5-person team. On a per-user plan that headcount sets the bill: $124.75 a month on Ooma Office Pro or $150.00 on RingCentral RingEX Core at list price (checked September 28, 2026). On Callata the same 5 people cost $99.00 a month, less than either per-seat plan.

The annual difference against RingCentral's monthly list price comes to $612. Some vendors discount annual contracts; the table shows month-to-month prices.

How Callata works for masonry contractors in Wisconsin

Callata Office costs $99 per month for up to 5 people, and each additional user is $20 a month. That covers up to 3 local numbers, calling from a browser or your cell, transcribed voicemail, recorded calls with AI summaries, after-hours routing and E911 on each number.

If you already have a number in Wisconsin, porting it to Callata is free. Texting from a local number requires a one-time carrier registration (10DLC, $49), and the numbers available in any area code depend on carrier inventory when you choose them.

Optional AI agents (receptionist, sales, support or scheduler) can answer calls after hours or when nobody picks up, take messages, text, email and transfer to your team. They are billed from prepaid AI minutes at $0.25 per minute, identify themselves as AI, and may only place outbound calls to people who consented, between 8am and 9pm.
