Testimonials
"After using Hardhat for more than twenty years now I felt that it was time to express my appreciation for the excellent job that you have done to not only keep up with the ever changing demands of the construction business but to continue to deliver the same personal service that we have come to expect. As more and more businesses become all about the dollar and less about the customer it is people like you that make me proud to recommend Hardhat. Not only have you given us top notch software in the accuracy of tracking job cost as well as made sure of the ease of use of this software you have made it customizable to accommodate our demands. Whatever our need your software delivers!I cannot say enough about your support team. If we ever have any problems the response time is immediate and as professional as you could ever ask for. I have never had a problem that wasn’t taken care of with my first contact with the support team. Thank you for being the best!
We recently underwent an entire overhaul of our hardware in our office and during this time you made the transition so smooth that we never had any down time. From building our computers to installing a server, to backing our system up nightly there is nothing you have not taken care of. Your dedication to us was more than was ever expected and for that I am truly grateful.
Lastly I would just like to say that if anyone is using any other system or trying to handle their books the old fashioned way it’s time to upgrade to Hardhat it makes life in this crazy business so easy!"
The Markham Company
"General Interiors has been using the Hardhat program since 1995. Hardhat has always worked with us when we want reports a certain way or when a program isn’t working the way we would like it to. We are a construction company, dealing mostly in drywall and acoustical ceilings. The job cost accounting is great and reports are easy to read and understand. Thank you Hardhat for being so easy to work with!"
