Lit Firewood has been highly reliable and responsible in the deliveries it has made to our cabin on…read moreNorth Shore of Big Bear Lake. The cabin is difficult to find on GPS maps, but they have located it correctly and delivered firewood to exactly the spot we specified on the lot. The quality of their firewood is excellent.

You should note that since manzanita is VERY dense it can be difficult to ignite and keep going until you have a hot bed of coals. Then, it's great. For those not familiar with this wood, its about half again as dense as oak and the logs are mostly bright orange heartwood, some mixed with tan sapwood.

Don Souza was a life saver for us. In October of 2017 we…read morehad contracted with another construction company to add a 700 square foot addition to a cabin in Big Bear, California. We should have recognized a potential problem right off the bat after we signed a contract and we were not getting the OK for the building permits. In February of 2019, the contractor told me to call the county myself. In 24 hours after that call, we had our permits.This was just the start. The contractor completely cut corners in the construction, did not follow the architectural plans, and did not show up for the project for months at a time and finally just abandoned the project. After interviewing different contractors, we hired Don Souza to completely remediate everything from framing,plumbing, heating, roofing etc. He was awesome and completely brought everything back to code and gave us the cabin of our dreams and what we had initially contracted for and more. His work product is excellent, his desire to excel is phenomenal and his passion and empathy is unbelievable. This was a big horror story for 18 months until Don Souza saved us. Don't get stuck with a bad contractor and get stuck with bad construction and have to go through a horror story. Choose Don Souza Construction and love his work product. Absolutely THE BEST!!!!

One in June and one this past Thursday at the end of July. Both technicians said they could do the job. First technician ghosted us and asked if we wanted to pull permits or not - a red flag given the scope of the work. Second technician said they would have an estimate for us in 48 hours and four days passed. Both contractors were late despite three hour windows. Second contractor was standoffish when he came by nearly two months after the one who ghosted us. Finally called their office myself thinking that maybe their was miscommunication or that they weren't taking my wife seriously and finally got a person only for them to tell me they weren't licensed or didn't have the ability to do it with little explanation. Asked if they knew a person who could and they said no. There are a lot of red flags so proceed at your own discretion but they apparently decided they didn't want the big job we were offering despite leading us on in an atmosphere where material prices are fluctuating by the month. We didn't even get to hire them and they already cost us money by wasting our time, the general contractors time, the architect's time, and the structural engineer's time.
