Hurst’s commitment to continuing education led to the creation of Hurst University, a custom training program that provides each Hurst team member with a platform to share ideas and knowledge, as well as technical training sessions. With the ever changing landscape of building materials and installation techniques, Hurst University plays a critical role in the development and training of each team member, focusing on five key categories:
• Safety
• Customer Service
• Design
• Craftsmanship
• Systems
“Thank you for your work on our bathroom
remodel project. From
start to finish, the professionalism,
attention to detail, courtesy and
respect made it a pleasure to do
business with your team. The
project turned out beautifully – just
as we had envisioned. The design
you created (when other
contractors told us it couldn’t be
done) was outstanding, and your
guidance in making the product
selections helped us a great deal.
We couldn’t be happier with the
result of all your hard work.
Wishing continued success to you
and your fine company.”
