Jeffrey G.

Hammer's Mountain Patrol takes all the worry out of second home ownership. Everything from turning off an oven to finding a broken water pipe before it got to be a real disaster, they have done it for us with a great attitude. I'll never go back to doing it myself.

James J.

My family has a cabin in Running Springs and Hammers has been WONDERFUL in helping us keep an eye on it while we rent it out on Airbnb. Hammer's has been ESPECIALLY HELPFUL to us!!!!! She has helped with too many things to list. She is always exceptionally kind and helpful. Hammer's is a true asset to their team!!! If you need a company to keep your property safe and in good order and help in MANY other ways, be sure to give them a call.

Lynn F.

Ron and sons have been so helpful for this first time mountain homeowner. I cannot count the many times that I have called upon on them for various issues that got resolved by their professional, reliable, and personable way of taking care of things.. A big shout out for their support staff as well. I have called to ask advice on different occasions and have been met with nothing but support and kindness. I truly do not know what I would do without them in my corner. Thanks you guys for giving me more peace of mind!!!!

Rose R.

My father and I have been using Ron Hammer Services for over 3 decades whenever we had an issue to be looked at or work to be done Ron and son's have been there for us. If you need a specialized contractor Hammer's Mountain Patrol knows of all the good one's to use. Ron has saved us on countless occasions over the years. We can always count on Ron and his professional staff which has never let us down.

Bill C.

Over the years any repair or maintenance work we needed done, we simply called Ron and he took care to see it was done correctly and at a reasonable price. He has made owning a second home effectively worry free and effortless for us. Over 10'yrs of service he has shown himself to be reliable to a fault, reasonable in all things and most importantly to me, honest and a person true to his word. Frankly you don't come across people like Ron much anymore, too bad.

Randy L.

Ron Hammer and his crew are fantastic. We have been customers for the past 17 years and can't imagine how complicated things would be without them!! If you own property in the mountains then you know how difficult it is to find good, reliable, competent, quality help. We outsource everything to his team, but you can even count on them for one off jobs, which is the beauty of his service. As you can tell, I highly recommend them and I would be happy to give a personal reference for Hammer Mountain Patrol.

Allen C.

My husband, myself and our cat rode up the mountain in a w/o chains. We came across a white truck that was stuck and blocking the road. Because we slowed down & stopped, our car became stuck. I thought immediately that perhaps Ron Hammer would know what to do. He not only volunteered to find us and help us get home but most of all he gave me comfort and the feeling of being safe. The comfort of Ron staying in touch with us proves that he and his company will go beyond the call of duty for their clients (friends). I would highly recommend them - you could not be in better hands!!

Linda Marlene S.

I am fourth generation Lake Arrowhead... My family has had a home in the mountains since 1932. My wife and I bought our own home in 1998. My family and I have worked with the Hammers for 17 years. There is no more reliable, smart, trustworthy family on the mountain. From security to everyday help, to eyes on the mountain when we cannot be there. They are the ones we have trusted and will continue to trust, we hope, for many, many years to come. They have helped us from simple home repairs to major remodels, from issues with our electrical to every imaginable need on a mountain home.

Kent K.

We learned through word of mouth about Hammer's Mountain Patrol and fully appreciate and trust their dedication to excellent field service as well as the seasoned and knowledgeable staff. Once again, we feel that our home is in good hands with a company that cares for our property; something that is extremely important to us because of our infrequent visits. We would highly recommend Hammer's Mountain Patrol, a locally owned dedicated company that is working hard to provide the best service on the mountain.
