    A Pittsburgh native, Earl Hord graduated locally from Winchester Thurston School before earning his bachelor’s degree in biology and later his Master of Public Health from the University of Pittsburgh. Despite his formal education in the sciences, Earl has always been deeply design-driven, with a strong creative instinct and an eye for detail.

Since then, his distinct aesthetic, artistic vision, and practical understanding of construction have played a key role in allowing Top Class Renovations to execute a wide range of architectural and interior design styles tailored to client needs.

    In addition to his design work, Earl operates Earl Hord Photography, a professional photography business responsible for the high-quality project imagery used by Top Class Renovations. His background in photography enhances his design process by emphasizing composition, lighting, and visual storytelling—ensuring that each completed project is both thoughtfully designed and exceptionally documented.
