GCP was formed in June, 1991. We are a specialized wholesale supplier of construction products relating to masonry and concrete, thermal and moisture protection and finishes (i.e. coatings, sealants), and firestopping. GCP began with the purchase of a Thoro Products distributorship formerly held by a precast concrete company and four employees who set up operation as a wholesale distributor in Lithonia, Georgia. With $100,000 of inventory, one major product line, housed in a building consisting of 7,000 square feet, GCP embarked on a quest to be a distribution leader in the waterproofing, restoration and repair markets.

Currently in our 20th full year of operation, we are now located in Tucker, Georgia, with over 55,000 square feet of warehouse space and over 20 employees. Our sales team has 130+ years of combined experience in the field of construction and sales.

The philosophy of GCP is "becoming partners in the success of our customers and manufacturerers, we insure our own success."

Unlike most wholesale construction supply businesses, GCP is a specialized operation. By putting together an experienced group of people with a high level of specialized product knowledge, GCP has been able to establish a unique niche in the marketplace. We are trained in every product we sell which means we can assess not only the type of product a job requires and provide direction, but also assist in application.

Our sales staff is trained to be present at job sites to answer questions the project manager may have during application. By interfacing between the end-user and the manufacturer, we keep our customers satisfied and confident in their selection of GCP. It means a lot to our customers to know that our expertise is still available to them after the sale. Over 90% of our sales are from repeat customers and we feel confident this is a direct result of our “hands-on” approach.

We take a proactive approach in promoting our products by providing educational seminars and field training to our customers and their crews. Seminars and training are typically done in tandem with our salesman who is most experienced in the products and systems along with a representative of the manufacturer. We feel it is important for the construction markets we service to know they have a team of experts standing behind their product selection and application.

In addition to training, we provide our customers assistance during the submittal process. Reviewing the project specifications, pulling together the appropriate documents, samples and required testing information gives our customers the advantage over their competition with a professionally assembled submittal package.

We also manage warranty processing to insure that warranties are expedited as quickly as possible. GCP maintains a detailed tracking log so that we know where the warranty is in document trail. With our constant contact with manufacturers, we have the means to effectively communicate and negotiate optimum turn-around.
