Our Directory
Mark Anthony Rodriguez
Founder
As one of the founders of DE Group, my background stems from being raised directly within the construction industry. Growing up in a family-owned roofing and waterproofing business that has served the Bay Area for nearly three decades, I gained hands-on experience across every aspect of the trade; from project execution and client delivery to operational challenges, material selection, and quality control. This foundational immersion instilled in me a deep, practical understanding of the industry’s complexities, client expectations, and the importance of uncompromising standards in workmanship and service.
It also shaped my vision for DE Group: to build on that legacy by scaling a modern, diversified platform that integrates traditional expertise with innovation in areas such as advanced envelope protection, solar/BIPV integration, and high-performance commercial solutions.
