The partnership will allow Hurd to offer a greater range of patio door products for new home construction and remodeling marketplace.

Vista Pointe is a provider of high-end, wide-opening patio door and window systems.

"We are very excited to have the opportunity to partner with Vista Pointe to make Hurd an even greater resource for people seeking door systems that fit all their individual needs."
