George E. Kurtts
Founder/CEO Building and
remodeling custom homes in the
Birmingham area is George’s passion.
He understands the “big” picture,
but is known for his attention to
detail. Putting the two elements
together is why he has been in
business for almost 40 years. He
helps customers make their dreams
reality.
George is a member of the
Greater Birmingham Association of
Home Builders and the Remodelers
Council and has held many offices
and served on various committees
through the years. He was President
of the Remodelers Council in 2001
and a charter member of the Master
Builder/Master Remodeler committee.
He earned his Certified Graduate
Remodeler designation in 1999 and
his Graduate Master Builder
designation in 2001. His homes have
been featured in Birmingham
Magazine, Luxury Homes Magazine, and
on the cover of Birmingham Our House
Magazine.
George is an avid outdoorsman and
active in the National Wild Turkey
Federation, Ducks Unlimited, Alabama
Wildlife Federation and Safari
International. He served as
President of the Birmingham Chapter
of the National Wild Turkey
Federation in 1992 and as an Alabama
Director from 1998 to the present. |

Russell Kurtts
Project Manager As the son of
the founder, George E. Kurtts,
Russell has followed closely in his
father’s footsteps from a young age.
But becoming the company’s Project
Manager was by no means a shoe‐in
position. He began working summers
and holidays in high school learning
every phase of the construction
process through good old hands‐on
experience. After high school, he
attended Jefferson State Community
College while working part time and
graduated with a degree in
Construction Management. He then
attended Auburn University and
earned a BS degree in Building
Science. After graduation, he became
superintendent of projects for
Kurtts Construction.
As project
manager, Russell believes everyone
is a team player in the building
process. No matter how insignificant the
task may seem, it is part of the
entire outcome. He believes that a
positive attitude and close
attention to time and budget will
always yield a quality and reputable
project. |
