MCAA MEMBER MCGEE BROTHERS CO INC. LARGEST
MASON CONTRACTOR IN THE COUNTRY
McGee Brothers broke into the top twenty mason contractors by sales volume in the latest survey according to Engineering News Record. Reporting an annual income of nearly 75 million dollars, McGee Brothers almost has a 25 million-dollar cushion between the next largest contractor The Western Group from St. Louis, MO.
The McGee Brothers turned a two-man residential masonry operation into what it is today without ever having an official sales force or even a single sales person. McGee Brothers deal almost exclusively in residential masonry. Sam McGee will be speaking at the MCAA's Masonry Showcase on "Building Your Residential Business". Mr. McGee will speak on how they recruited and developed customer loyalty and repeat business and how they recruited and kept quality employees. The following companies rounded out the top twenty.
