GCI was founded by John T. Hull, a Roof Consultant with more than three decades of
specialized experience in roofing and building envelope assessments and specification/scope of work development. John T. has personally led thousands of roof surveys, failure analysis, moisture investigations, warranty review, and quality assurance inspections on projects ranging from local commercial facilities to large-scale national portfolios. John T. believes that “if you know how/why roofs fail, you will better know how to build a better one.”
With a background that blends hands-on field expertise, advanced technology integration, and deep knowledge of industry standards (ASTM, IIBEC, TAS, SPFA, NRCA, and more), John has positioned GCI as a leader in technical consulting. His certifications and extensive training in infrared thermography, impedance moisture scanning, roof system analysis, and quality assurance allow him to bridge the gap between contractors, property owners, manufacturers, and insurers - ensuring that each party has reliable, unbiased information for decision-making.
John T’s vision for GCI is rooted in three key principles:
1. Technical Excellence – applying the highest standards of industry knowledge, testing
protocols, and certifications.
2. Independent Insight – providing clients with unbiased evaluations, free from contractor
or manufacturer influence.
3. Forward-Looking Innovation – integrating technology, data modeling, and asset
