One of the top Mechanical contractors in the state of Alabama. Their work in other states is expanding. I'm currently with them in Charlotte, N.C. renovating the 100 year old courthouse. A great place to work. Wonderful employees from the top down.

As i was driving this morning some man driving a Hardy Corporation's truck with this license plate on lakeshore decided to flick me off and record me without my permission all because I got over in front of him. I'm a young black girl and this older Caucasian man made me very uncomfortable knowing that he has videos of me and my car in his phone. I hope some actions are taken so he won't do this to anyone else.

Very challenging company to work for. I loved the excitement in my two simultaneous positions as field layout coordinator as well as 3d modeler in HVAC and piping.
