Masonry contractors face unique risks on the job—from lifting heavy materials to working at heights and handling power tools. That’s why having the right Workers Compensation Insurance isn’t just smart—it’s essential. It protects your business from costly medical bills, lost wages, and legal liabilities if an employee gets injured on the job.

At Total Work Comp, we specialize in helping masonry contractors nationwide find the best coverage at the most competitive rates.


💰 Cost Breakdown: What Influences Your Work Comp Premium?

Workers compensation insurance costs vary based on several key factors. Here's what typically affects the price for masonry contractors:

  • Payroll Size   The more employees you have and the higher your payroll, the more coverage you’ll need—raising your premium.

  • Location   Insurance rates differ by state due to local regulations and claim histories. For example, premiums in California may be higher than in Texas.

  • Experience Modification Rate (EMR)   This score reflects your company’s safety record. A lower EMR means fewer claims and lower premiums.

  • Type of Work Performed   Masonry work involving scaffolding or structural stonework may carry higher risk than decorative stone installation.

  • Claims History   Frequent or severe past claims can increase your rates. A clean history helps you qualify for discounts.


📊 Average Cost Range for Masonry Contractors

While exact pricing depends on your business profile, masonry contractors typically pay:

Business Size

Estimated Annual Premium

Solo Contractor

$2,000 – $4,000

Small Crew (2–5)

$5,000 – $10,000

Mid-size (6–15)

$10,000 – $25,000

Large Operation

These are ballpark figures. For a precise quote, it’s best to speak with a licensed agent who understands your industry.
