Mark Andrew Gros founded MAG Builders in 1998, in his hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma, on the back of forty years of custom building. He spent fourteen of those years teaching his oldest son, Shawn, the family trade.
Shawn moved to Texas and went deep into storm restoration, and rose into leadership at some of the largest construction and restoration companies in the country. Then in June 2013 Mark died suddenly of an unexplained heart condition.
Shawn relaunched his father’s company in Texas, carrying the same three initials. That is why this is a custom-building firm that specialises in storm damage: one half of the business is what Mark taught, and the other half is what Shawn went and learned.
