What is HardHatCity?

HardHatCity is a radically different online construction community.


We're free.

Everyone is welcome to join and use HardHatCity for free.  Search for local professionals, get advice in the forums, post a job, find your next project... all these tools and more are free, no strings attached.

We don't use consumer reviews or rating systems.

Our users get an unbiased, well-rounded view of what a professional is all about by reviewing his or her profile, project portfolio, blog, and network of industry connections.

Your professional network gives you credibility.

It's true that you're known by the company that you keep: having solid relationships with both clients and colleagues tells users that you have a respectable industry reputation.

Our Verification and Certification services offer peace of mind.

Industry professionals can now assure potential clients or employers that they are properly licensed, bonded, and insured, and have a clear criminal background and a proven identity—before they are hired.



HardHatCity has something for everybody.
