Turning Our Customers Into Friends Since 1998
My name is Donald Hardy. Most call me Donnie... It all began when I was a young child. My grandparents had a farm on 1,500 acres of land in Morgantown, West Virginia. I spent my adolescence helping and learning from my grandfather (Don Hardy). He was my idol and everything I wanted to be when I grew up. I remember thinking one evening, how cool it was to hang out with him and tag along wherever he went. He was an amazing worker, farmer and teacher. I believe he’d reminisce through his stories as we repaired barns, roofs, fences, or whatever came up. He would tell me how he would walk bare foot across cobble stone, delivering newspapers for a nickel, and he loved it. He loved helping his community. My teachings began nonchalantly through helping him with measurements, driving the tractor for property preservation, being so curious and asking why. I went from building my dog’s house to building a log cabin. I was so proud of myself and even more that he noticed my accomplishments. I helped build six (6) houses before I entered high school. I am so grateful I was able to experience first-hand, what so many people yearn for their entire life. Unfortunately, the concept of leadership, and self-perseverance has been forgotten over the years and further more. I developed a powerful work ethic that stuck with me through the years, and only grew bigger and stronger as I became established in my business as a young man at the age of 18. The most important attainable aspect of my grandfather’s teachings was this; Whatever you do in life, always be honest and true, if you are, you build a true and reliable reputation and your hand shake is all you need. When you give somebody your word, they trust you. And that alone is an incredibly rewarding quality to cherish. I work smart, hard and put my heart into all that I do, not because I have to, but because it’s the right thing to do and I enjoy doing it. Looking back, I have learned more than money can buy and schooling can offer. He has influenced me in such a way that I can only pray for the same appreciation from my children and grand children some day.
We all know the companies that provide you with a service, and they all claim to be the cheapest in your area. But are they really focusing on the most important part of the entire job (you)! We focus all of our attention on you, the customer. You may ask, well what about the price or what about quality workmanship?Think about it this way, when you own a company, no matter what service you provide, if you love what you do and do it with all of your heart, you transfer that same care and interest into making sure that you get the best price possible without compromising the integrity of the work in anyway. When you work from the heart you also analyze the work throughout the entire process from start to finish, to make sure the attention to details are never forgotten.
