Wilks Masonry is a stone masonry company founded by brothers Farris Cullen Wilks and Daniel Howard Wilks in 1995 in Cisco, Texas. The brothers, sons of bricklayer Voy Wilks, drew on their family's background in masonry to establish the business after years of working separately on construction projects. Initially operating as a mobile operation that followed job sites across Texas, Wilks Masonry emphasized quality craftsmanship, professionalism, and efficient production to meet growing demand in the construction industry. This venture marked the beginning of the Wilks brothers' entrepreneurial journey, serving as their first collaborative enterprise before they expanded into other sectors, particularly the energy industry where they founded Frac Tech in 2002. Under the leadership of Farris and Dan Wilks, the company grew from a small, family-run operation into a recognized name in masonry services, focusing on stonework for residential and commercial projects. The business was incorporated as Wilks Masonry Corporation and later operated as Wilks Masonry LLC, maintaining a commitment to high standards instilled by their father. While the brothers' success in the energy industry overshadowed their masonry roots, Wilks Masonry remained a foundational element of their early business network and influence in Texas. Today, Wilks Masonry represents the humble origins of the Wilks brothers' vast business empire, which has since diversified into real estate development, oil and gas, and philanthropy. Though the company has not been as publicly prominent in recent years compared to their energy holdings, it underscores the brothers' transition from manual labor trades to high-stakes industry investments, highlighting themes of family legacy and entrepreneurial pivot in their network of influence.
