The Origin of a Name

The Ballad of
Paladin

Michael's father started calling him "Paladin" as a toddler — and the name stuck. When the time came to build a company, the choice was obvious.

Older clients remember the TV show. They watched it with their fathers and grandfathers. The name creates a warm feeling of trust before a prospect ever knows what the company does.

Younger clients know the name from video games and literature. Either way — Paladin means something good. A protector. A knight with a code.

And that silver chess knight on the card? That's not decoration. It's a badge of trust — just like the ballad says.

Have Construction, Will Travel reads the card of a man, A Knight without armor in a savaged land. His fast hammer for hire, heeds the calling wind, A soldier of fortune is the man called, Paladin.
Paladin, Paladin, where do you roam? Paladin, Paladin, far, far, from home.
He travels on to wherever he must. A Chess Knight of Silver is his Badge of Trust. There are campfire legends that the Adjusters spin Of the man with the hammer, of the man called, Paladin.
Adapted from "Have Gun – Will Travel" · CBS · 1957
60 Years in Grand Prairie

Rooted in
North Texas

I've called Grand Prairie home for over 60 years. I've raised my family here, served on the local Education Board, been President of the Rotary Club, and helped fund the YMCA back in my school days selling candy bars door to door.

That deep root in this community means one thing: you can always find me. When a problem arises — big or small — I will show up and make sure you are satisfied with our work. That's not a marketing promise. That's 35 years of operating in the same zip codes, with the same neighbors watching.

"Know your Rancher, Know your Farmer... Know your Contractor."

Michael "Paladin" Hasty · A principle lived, not just spoken

For decades, I've lived that principle. It's why we deliver concierge-level service every time we're on your property — clean worksites, clear communication, professional tradesmen only, and zero surprises.

The Business Ecosystem

How Geothermal
Became Everything

My path to becoming a full-service sustainable building specialist started with roofing. I was good at it, and I built a loyal client base. But I noticed something about the homeowners who installed geothermal systems — they had large homes. And large homes have large roofs.

They also owned businesses. Commercial buildings. Investment properties. One trusted relationship opened the door to a lifetime of work across every type of structure a client owned.

That's when the exclusive partnerships started finding me. Partners like WaterFurnace, Stormcure, Enviro Thermal, ZS2 Technologies — they came to me because I was already deep in the green space, with a client base that cared about energy efficiency and long-term performance.

"We don't just install products. We give your home a performance upgrade — one that pays you back every month on your energy bill."
