5/5
“I highly recommend Hard Hats Construction, LLC to anyone in the market of building a new home. This company is extremely professional, and walked me through every step of the home building process. I provided floorplans for the home that I wanted to build. We discussed the modifications that I wanted to make. They were extremely helpful and informative. They offered suggestions, and helped me to build the house of my dreams. Every step of the way, I was informed of the next step, as well as, detailed budget information. We had allowance sheets to follow for each phase of the project. We were able to chose both, the interior and exterior finishings. Other builders I spoke with prior to Hard Hats had standard materials, and I was required to choose from their selections. Hard Hats Construction, LLC is truly a custom builder. I would not only recommend this company, but I would use them again!!!”
