What Mcgill Brothers, Inc. does

McGill Brothers, Inc. (MBI) is a privately held, family-owned specialty trade contractor headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska, providing building envelope services—restoration, caulking, and waterproofing—to commercial, institutional, and industrial clients primarily in the Midwest. The company was founded circa 1990 by the McGill family, with operational roots extending back to 1979 when founder Joseph D. McGill began as an apprentice bricklayer. MBI operates three core service lines: Restoration (masonry repair, tuckpointing, brick replacement, historic preservation), Caulking (joint sealants for concrete, masonry, and expansion joints), and Waterproofing (below-grade moisture protection, air barriers, traffic coatings, firestopping). Service delivery relies on traditional field methods—custom scaffolding, swing stages, and aerial lifts—combined with industry-leading materials from manufacturers including Sika, Tremco, Carlisle, Neogard, Pecora, 3M, and Hilti.

MBI generates revenue through fee-for-service project engagements, either directly with building owners and property managers or as a subcontractor to general contractors on larger construction projects. Pricing is project-based and determined by scope, materials, labor, and equipment, with prospective customers directed to a phone line for estimates. Notable institutional clients include Creighton University (ongoing since 1979), Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo & Aquarium (since approximately 1998), Children's Hospital & Medical Center, HDR, Kiewit Plaza, Hilton Downtown Omaha, Baxter Dealerships, and the historic Raymond Brothers Building in Lincoln. The company maintains memberships in industry associations ICRI, SWRI, and AGC, and is led by a second-generation McGill leadership team with an 11-50 person staff. Distribution is exclusively regional B2B, with no e-commerce, self-serve channels, or consumer-facing product.
