Hursh Painting Co. Inc. was founded in April of 1979, by Morris and Ruth Ann Hursh, at their home in Farmersville, PA. Prior to starting the business, Morris had been employed by a large Lancaster County based painting contractor. During nineteen of his twenty-one years with the company, Morris worked as a foreman managing some of the largest commercial painting projects in southeastern Pennsylvania. Putting these years of experience to use in his own business, the company prospered, growing from three employees at inception to well over twenty by the time the company was incorporated in 1984.

In 1988, Morris and Ruth Ann’s son Philip, started working for the company during his summer vacations from high school. Upon his graduation from high school in 1992, Philip has worked full-time for the company. In 1999, our business succession plan was enacted, enabling Philip to begin purchasing the company from Morris. At this time, Philip became President, assuming overall management responsibilities, while Morris took the position of Chairman of the Board.

Succession was completed December 2007. Philip, with support from Morris operates the business, along with a staff of approximately 35 employees. The company has won numerous safety and quality awards from the Associated Builders and Contractors and the Painting and Decorating Contractors of America. Additionally, the company has received the prestigious recognition of being an “Accredited Quality Contractor” from the Associated Builders and Contractors. This program publicly recognizes and honors contracting firms that have documented their dedication to maintain and improve the safety, welfare and education of its employees and to improving the communities in which we work and live.

Today our business continues to grow, because of excellent employees and their dedication to customer satisfaction.
