Analysis
NAICS 23813 is the 2022 NAICS industry for framing contractors, part of 2381 (Foundation, Structure, and Building Exterior Contractors).
It has only one more detailed code, 238130, which covers exactly the same activities; the definition, index entries and statistics are on that page.
County Business Patterns counts 12,417 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 86,861 people at an average annual payroll of $57,935 per employee (29th percentile of national industries). 71% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which marks it as a small-business industry.
Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments grew 6% and employment fell 2%. The 2018 count used NAICS 2017, so part of a large move can come from codes being redefined rather than from businesses opening or closing.
By establishments it ranks 4th of the 8 codes at this level within Foundation, Structure, and Building Exterior Contractors, with 11.7% of them.
