Analysis
NAICS 23819 is the 2022 NAICS industry for other foundation, structure, and building exterior contractors, part of 2381 (Foundation, Structure, and Building Exterior Contractors).
It has only one more detailed code, 238190, which covers exactly the same activities; the definition, index entries and statistics are on that page.
Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments grew 12% and employment rose 5%. 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.
County Business Patterns counts 6,489 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 52,063 people at an average annual payroll of $70,006 per employee (52nd percentile of national industries). 64% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which marks it as a small-business industry.
By establishments it ranks 7th of the 8 codes at this level within Foundation, Structure, and Building Exterior Contractors, with 6.1% of them.
