$6,400 — $10,000 USD
That puts Wausau about 15% below the US national range ($7,500 — $12,000) — lower local wage pressure generally means lower bill rates, though scarce licensed supply can offset it.
Armed officers typically run about 35% more than unarmed coverage for the same post — the premium covers the firearm permit, range requalification and the higher insurance the provider carries. In Wausau that puts an armed post around $8,600 — $14,000 USD per guard post/month.
Gatehouse/HOA post covering a 12h daily shift. Communities split the cost across homes; gate posts, patrol rounds and camera integration set the monthly total.

Read the residential & hoa security buyer's guidePrivate security in Wisconsin is licensed at the state level by the the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS). A legitimate company operating in Wausau holds a Private Detective/Security Agency license, which means it has cleared Wisconsin DSPS's ownership, background-check and insurance requirements. Ask for that license number in writing and verify it yourself — a certificate on the wall tells you nothing about current standing, since a license can be suspended or revoked.
Hiring an unlicensed company is a risk you carry. In Wisconsin, operating without a license is misdemeanor (Wis. Stat. § 440.26(8)). Operating unlicensed, or knowingly employing someone who advertises or works unlicensed as a private detective/security person, is fined $100-$500, imprisoned 3-6 months, or both; conviction also makes the offender ineligible for a license for one year and can trigger revocation or suspension of the employing agency's license.
