Hello, We’re Thrush & Son: Three Generations, One Promise
Who we are matters when you’re choosing who to trust with your home. We’re a family-owned roofing and exterior company, Miami Valley born and raised, and we’ve been doing this since 1960.
This page is our introduction: a short video from Corey, what we are and what we’re not, six promises you can hold us to, and what working with us looks like. For the full 65-year history, read 65 Years Strong.
Who We Are, in Corey’s Words
Corey Thrush, the third generation of our family business, talks about the values behind three generations of family ownership and why we treat every customer the way we’d treat our own family.
The video went up in 2017, and the values in it haven’t changed. The products we install keep improving, but the reason we answer the phone is the same one Wilbur started with in 1960: treat every customer the way you’d treat your own family, and stand behind the work long after the crew packs up.

Who We Are, and Who We’re Not
Sometimes the clearest way to say who we are is to say what we refuse to be. Flip the switch to see both sides.
- Family-owned since 1960
- A written proposal you can take your time with
- Clear options, explained in plain words
- The full system, installed the right way
- A call back when you have a question
- Still here years after the job is done
- A national chain with a local phone number
- A same-day-only price that expires at the door
- Inflated pricing followed by a surprise discount
- Corner-cutting to win the bid
- A voicemail box that’s always full
- Gone after the last check clears
None of this is complicated. Show up, explain the options, put the price in writing, do the work right, and stand behind it. The hard part is doing it on every single job, for decades, and that consistency is most of who we are.
Who We Are in Six Words, With Proof
Anyone can print a word on a name tag. Tap each card to see the proof behind who we are.
Credentials matter because they’re checked by someone other than us. A manufacturer has to approve a contractor before it backs that contractor’s installs with its strongest warranties, and the BBB rating reflects how a company handles the customers who call with a problem.

What Working With Us Looks Like
Who we are shows up most in how a project feels from the first call to the final walkthrough. Whether it’s a new roof, siding, windows, or gutters, the steps are the same.
- You reach outCall, use the estimate form, or talk with Michelle any time of day.
- We listen firstWe ask how you use the house and what’s bothering you before we talk products.
- We inspect and explainYou see what we see, with photos, and hear your options in plain words.
- You get it in writingA clear written proposal you can review at your own pace.
- We do the workOur team installs the full system and keeps you posted along the way.
- We walk it togetherA final walkthrough, and our number stays the same for years to come.
After the job, our number doesn’t change. If a storm rolls through next spring or you have a question about your warranty, you call the same office and talk to the same family company. That kind of trust takes years to build and one bad job to lose, so we treat every job like it’s the one people will talk about.
Home improvement can feel overwhelming: insurance questions, product choices, colors, warranties. Part of who we are is being the steady guide through all of it. If you want a homeowner’s take on choosing a contractor, read A Woman’s Perspective.
Who We Are Starts at Home in Brookville
We live here, our kids go to school here, and the houses we work on are in the neighborhoods we drive through every day. That local investment shapes who we are.
Being local also means we know the houses. Miami Valley homes range from century-old farmhouses to brick ranches and newer subdivisions, and each one has its own quirks under the shingles and behind the siding. Decades of working on them is knowledge you can’t get from a brochure.
From Brookville we serve homeowners across Montgomery, Miami, Greene, and Warren counties, from Dayton and Troy to Centerville and Lebanon, plus our neighbors in Lima, Urbana, and Richmond, Indiana.
The home above is a complete renovation on Hill Street, right in Brookville. See more finished homes in our project gallery.
Three Names on the Door
Wilbur Thrush founded Thrush & Son in 1960. W. Allen Thrush owns the company today, and Corey Thrush is the third generation. More than 31,000 Miami Valley homeowners have trusted us with their homes.
Who we are hasn’t changed, even as the materials have. We install GAF roofing, CertainTeed siding, Nobility windows, and Masonite entry doors. Read more about our family, and why homeowners trust in Thrush.
