Beware of this con-artist and STAY AWAY from this scammer: Craig Allen! He gives you a quote for your job and requests a deposit to purchase the materials without even giving you a receipt for the materials. Then he shows up after 2-3 weeks increasing the quote/price right there before even starting the work. If you disagree, then he steals the materials that you've already paid for and doesn't give your money back! This guy should not be allowed in our community scamming and stealing from people. STAY AWAY From this scammer! read more

If I could leave a ZERO star review I would. I PAID this company to change my door and replace a few tiles in my bathroom and kitchen it NEVER got done. He sent a very rude message demanding payment because he said he had completed the work.. I should have ask for pictures before I sent full payment but he seem very reliable. This individual has block my phone number BE CAREFUL. I've try call multiple times and it goes straight to voicemail. I can't can't seem to get a hold of him or his wife. SERIOUSLY SAVE YOUR TIME AND MONEY THEY WILL SCAM YOU read more

See all

Had a gas wall heater go out at my property. I called Craig at Spruce Home Services he and his team took care of the issue. Craig went over and offered multiple cost saving solutions. I ended up purchasing a new unit due to the age of the old one. Craig took care of the installation and did a great job. He and his team communicated very well and were very professional. They showed up when they said they would and their pricing is fair for the quality of their work. I would highly recommend their services to anyone needing help with a repair/installation, etc. read more

Professional, thorough and a timely turnaround are some words I would describe Alana and Craig's work. My wife and I always marvel that it's like walking into a hotel when we enter into our Air B&B in Big Bear. This duo works hard and takes pride in what they do. They have the mentality to treat your home like it's their own. Not only do they clean but can do maintenance as well. On top of all that, they are both great people and 100% trustworthy, responsive and responsible. Craig and Alana have been maintaining our home for well over a year and with that we highly recommend them! read more

If I could give this couple a negative 10, I would! I called Alana to obtain an estimate on cleaning my small 800 square foot cabin. Alana showed up and couldn't stop raving about how wonderful her handyman husband is. I later allowed them assess to my home for a simple estimate, while I was not home. HUGE MISTAKE!!!!. He left my cabin damaged and dirty! He almost felling through the ceiling and left my dry wall damaged. I have been trying to get ahold of them for quite some time now. They won't return my call, respond to my text messages or my Facebook messages. I found the damage later that week. They never called or notified me of what they did. I wanted an estimate for a new outlet, typically a licensed electrician would charge $125-$250. Craig's estimate came in at $500.00!!!!!! According to his estimate it he would bill 1 hour of work. Alana's estimate for cabin cleaning a 800 sq cabin came in double all other estimate. She quoted me $100.00 for basically changing sheets and cleaning one bathroom and small kitchen. When you see this "dynamic dual" strongly advised to "Run Forest Run" Please don't read that bogus review by Debbie K. It's a crock of lies! She can deny she knows me but I obviously have the proof! I have her business card and estimate. read more

Alana and Craig have taken care of our Big Bear cabin cleaning needs and general maintenance for 2 years now. They are very friendly and responsive to our requests, scheduling and needs. Many of our guests leave positive written comments and 5-star ratings about how 'sparkling clean' the cabin is. Alana & Craig do not let inclement weather get in their way: you can count on them to take care of the cabin no matter what the weather or road conditions. We like because there are two of them (and they have a great partnership!), there is always ample coverage for cleaning, general handyman repair work, and ad hoc guest requests. They're good about using technology to communicate about scheduling cleanings and other items. And they know the Big Bear area very well! read more

I am a new homeowner in Big Bear Lake. I also rent my house out. I cannot say enough good things about this couple. They go above and beyond in all that they do. My airbnb ratings for cleaning are 4.7 which is very good. They both can fix anything. I love how they work as a team. I have had to call them in the night for whatever reason and they go right over. I have peace of mind living in San diego. Thanks Craig and Alana for a great job. debbie read more
