Troy Office Opening: Thrush Opens Troy Office, Likes Downtown
Thrush & Son, a family business, recently opened a home improvement Troy Office in the living room of downtown Troy. With their original showroom and headquarters located in Brookville, the new storefront at 121 NE Public Square is a full-service branch of Thrush & Son’s growing family tree.
Thrush & Son® Expands with New Troy Office in Downtown Troy
Owner, Allen Thrush, is the second of three generations now invested in the family business. His father, Wilbur Allen Thrush Sr., began offering his earliest services, installing spouting, in 1960 under the motto“Every customer will be satisfied.” The values that founded the business have been passed down even as W. Allen Jr. helped his father at work-sites. Pictures on the company’s website show Allen laying tile at ages as young as 5 years old.
History Behind the New Troy Office Expansion
Allen acquired and expanded Thrush & Son in 1989, offering more services, taking on employees, and even developing an internet-based software called Contractor Rush that enables Thrush & Son to give nearly immediate estimates over the phone using GPS imaging technology.
Innovation and Leadership at the Troy Office
“I developed [Contractor Rush] in 2005 to keep our salesmen in line, our guys in the field in line,” Allen said. “It’s an open book. Everyone knows exactly what’s going on. It runs our business and we can run estimates from anywhere.” Allen said he runs a “tight ship.”
His wife, Michelle, is the business Vice President and his son Corey is the Chief Marketing Officer. With their family so actively involved in every aspect of each other’s lives, integrity and accountability are among the core values in their formula for success.
According to Michelle, “We want to build long-lasting relationships with people.” Corey emphasized their desire to be “cut-above” in professional behavior. “We may be in the contracting business but we always want to demonstrate our respect for our clients and each other in the way we dress, speak, and act,” Corey said.
Community Commitment Surrounding the Troy Office
The saying “It’s nothing personal, just business” does not apply where the Thrush family is concerned. Each year, they look for ways to give back to the community and have even found outlets in Troy to establish their presence as active members and benefactors.
Around the time of the new branch opening on the square, Thrush & Son sponsored the Eagles tribute concert and the Troy Noon Optimist’s Halloween Parade.
Community Commitment Surrounding the Troy Office
Although Thrush & Son had looked at the possibility of numerous other cities, Allen saw the Troy location as “the best option on the table.” “We liked Troy’s downtown,” Allen said. “It’s vibrant and welcoming of new businesses. We could tell that they would be a really great city to work with.”
In addition to servicing thousands of homes all over the Dayton area, Thrush & Son is the official contractor for the University of Dayton providing work on siding, window repair, walk-in tubs, roofing, storm damage, and doors.
