I hired Lion and Lumber to remodel our guest house. They did an amazing job and everything was completed on time. I can’t say enough about the work Brooke did too. Her eye for design is incredible and she has helped completely change the space!Read Full Review

We needed to remodel our fireplace and we couldn't be happier with how it turned out. We spoke with several contractors and we are so happy we went with LionCraft. Even from the initial conversation, we could tell they were different from the rest. They listened to our needs and checked in every step of the way to make sure they gave us exactly what we wanted. They were very kind and considerate and the communication was fantastic. We honestly couldn’t speak more highly of them – they are truly good people who delivered an excellent end product.

Comment from LionCraft Construction:

Thank you so much for the kind words, Kim! We loved working with you and we're thrilled to see how much you enjoyed the results of your fireplace. As always, please don't hesitate to reach out if you need anything and we hope to work together again in the future!

LionCraft Construction did an amazing building our dream ADU! They really went above and beyond to help us realize our vision and offer their expertise in all phases of the project from beginning to end. We really valued the communication we got during construction. Even with logistical problems from COVID, they kept our project moving forward and communicated every step of the way so we always knew what was going on. During the build they were careful and considerate, working with quality building materials and making sure everything was done right. Definitely a bargain for the quality of work they perform - everyone's got horror stories from flakey contractors and we're happy that we don't have to worry about that anymore! We'll definitely work with LionCraft on all our future building projects!

Our home remodel has been 18 years in the making and we were both excited and nervous at the same time, so we were blessed to have had LionCraft Construction recommended to us. Michael DeLeon and his team were so supportive and informative from the very beginning. Our remodel was more than any of us anticipated, as we discovered pending home disasters related to typical tract home construction. Michael and his team clearly laid out our options and helped us make the best choices to address each challenge. And we all supported one another as we faced delays related to unavailable materials - an unexpected challenge of the manufacturing industry today. They were even understanding and supportive when we changed our minds about design features. Doing this remodel was no easy undertaking as our home was basically taken down to the studs and rebuilt. Michael hired only the best with electricians, plumbers, drywalling, painters, tile work, air conditioner installation, cabinetry, stairway construction and especially all the finishing work. They went above and beyond to help us with small tasks that just speaks to their overall dedication to top notch customer service, making you feel like family. We are excited about the final results and can’t wait to enjoy our “new” home as we contemplate our next phase of remodeling the pool and backyard.

LionCraft Construction recently completed an addition to our home to convert our garage and upstairs deck into an ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit). They did a wonderful job from start to finish with our addition. The crew for each stage of the process were all amazing and top notch. Lion Craft Construction has strong work ethics and quality workmanship which made this a great experience for us. The result of the ADU has exceeded on all levels, customer service, quality of work and expertise. Great compliments were received from our family, friends, and neighbors when they saw the finished project! We’re extremely happy with how the ADU turned out and a huge part of that goes to Mike De Leon. We are very thankful and appreciative for all his efforts. We highly recommend LionCraft Construction.

DeLeon and company did a complete remodel of our condo. It is over 1900 sq ft. Excellent work, done on time, worked well with condo rules and also passed all building inspections. I highly recommend them .

Tridi Kidambi

The LionCraft team helped us with a complete remodel/renovation of our home in the Palm Springs area during the Summer and Fall of 2019. We converted a 5 bed / 5.5 bath into a 9 bedroom / 9.5 bathroom, and we couldn't be more thankful to have been partnered with LionCraft. Everything ran smoothly - from planning, cost and execution, they were on it. We found the team communicative, open to ideas and flexible on changes. Pricing was fair. Michael and the team were also very forthcoming with ideas and suggestions to make the project better along the way. Was a great experience and I would definitely recommend them for any projects, big and small, in the future.

Lion & Lumber Consultants

We love collaborating with the team at Lion & Lumber Construction! Together we combine our skills of Design with their 45+ years of construction experience to deign and build together. This last project we worked on together was really special to both of our teams. A past client reached out to remodel the casita that L&L Construction had built them 15 years ago. The casita was originally designed for grandparents in mind, but now needed to be redesigned for a young family. It was so amazing to see the progression one space could take on, and see how one family could be so close. It really was a special project!

We love working with you as well Brooke! You can't help but be excited when you think of amazing projects like that one. Looking forward to the next!

Pastor Mark Rasbach

At Hope Lutheran Church in Los Angels California, we hired our member Michael de Leon and his team to rebuild our church from the ground up after a fire destroyed our original structure. Since the rebuild we have continued to rehire Michael and his team for several additions and remodels as well after doing such a good job on the initial rebuild. I definitely would recommend their services for a commercial project after seeing their dedication and work ethic.

I hired the team at Lion & Lumber for the remodel of my first home. I was so impressed they really pushed to maximize my wish list and stay within my budget. They also hit the deadline that was super tight and fixed in order for my daughter and I to move in before school started. I could not be more grateful for their work!

Working with Lion & Lumber was a relief in comparison to many of the other contractors I have come across. They finished the job on time and on budget, and communication throughout the project was consistent. I couldn’t ask for more. I will definitely plan to utilize them again in the future for any projects we might have.
