Building in Big Bear Lake
Big Bear Lake is where we are based and where the majority of our work happens. Over eight years we have built custom homes from bare lots, added primary suites onto 1970s cabins, and gutted kitchens that had not been touched since the original build. Working here every day means we know which lots drain badly in spring melt, which streets the inspectors reach late in the season, and how far ahead you need to schedule concrete before the first freeze.
That local knowledge matters more than it does down the hill. A framing detail that is fine in Redlands will not carry a Big Bear snow load. Plumbing run through an uninsulated exterior wall will split in January. Exterior paint applied without full prep will chalk out in two seasons under this UV. We build to the conditions that actually exist at 6,750 feet, because we live and work in them.
Whether you are planning a ground-up custom home near the lake, an addition on an older cabin, or a kitchen and bathroom remodel before the next rental season, Francisco walks the property himself and gives you a written estimate. One licensed contractor, every trade, from the first conversation to the day you get the keys.
