Absolutely a pleasure to work with Hillermans! Received our years supply and it's seasoned hardwood almond, Beautiful. They delivered as promised and as agreed. The courtesy they provide and delivery is unmatched in todays times.. Not sure about the negative review, price was great, best around and delivery free.. the others around are shady, wet wood and cut sizes all over the place, and mixed wood (I know I ordered and they had to come back and haul it away), you also may need to pick up.. I'll never go anywhere other than Hillermans again. Thanks a million. Until next time, keep on trucking the way you do!! read more

Update to my previous review... After contacting Hillerman's Firewood, they came out fairly quickly and were very generous in topping off the original delivery. Also noted how nice the wood is split. Thank you Hillerman's for making things right. read more

Reliable delivery. Excellent quality great-burning wood consistent size cuts. Easy to arrange the delivery.

Top of the line wood top of the line service. We will be absolute repeat customers. Delivery wait time was nominal. Just cannot say enough about this. read more

This is our second time ordering firewood from Hillerman's. Again, the calls will Laura were a pleasure, and the rate did not go up. Since everything else has gotten more expensive, that was a nice surprise. The delivery truck pulled up early, and we watched with awe as he pulled that giant truck riight up my driveway! :) We bought a 1/2 chord this time to share with a friend. This got us a little deal. Mark counted out the pieces for us so we could make two even piles!! The wood is burning clean & warm, and we will continue to order from this family. read more

Hillerman's Firewood - Firewood Near Me

The firewood is well seasoned and finely cut. The amount of wood delivered was weak. 96 cubic feet was delivered, should be 128 cubic feet.

First, please notice that most all of the the negative reviews are from over 10 years ago. Not sure what the problem is, but all the numerous 5 star reviews are recent. A definite 5 star for me with my first order after previous sellers (whom I was happy with) got out of the business. From start to finish, I was happy with communicaion and delivery right when promised. I was especially happy with the quality of the wood at a reasonable price;price. It was obviously seasoned and relatively light in weight, split into smaller and easy to start and burn sizes and kindling sizes, and deliverd by the friendly husband and son-in-law who obviously take pride in the business. Look no further than Hillerman's for your firewood. read more

We have been customers of Hillerman's Firewood for five years. Clean wood, perfectly cut for both fireplace and pizza oven use. They call back immediately and are often available to deliver with a week. Absolutely would recommend them. read more

Indigenous Almond farmers, inevitably firewood suppliers UP the STANDARD! First off, allow me to set the table as proudly saying that I am a total firewood snob. Each Fall for the last 10+ years I would find a supplier of firewood on Craigslist and have them deliver it or pick it up. Each year the standards were raised on the type of wood that burnt best. Up until this year, it was hands down Eucalyptus wood. I would buy nothing else. Eucalyptus burned scalding red hot, with a little smoke and gave off a pleasant aroma. "Yelp Elite" has provided a definitive platform to search providers and for the first year I did not search Craigslist for firewood, instead I went to Yelp. I had a good amount of experience on the price I paid per quart of Eucalyptus wood delivered in the past, so that is what I asked quotes for. It was Friday afternoon. I figured it would be best to pick up the phone and dial, so I began calling the top ranked on Yelp. I struck out on the first six calls and failed to have anyone pick up the phone. #7 was Hillerman's Firewood. Laura answered the phone right away and was very interested in hearing my interests in fire wood. She told me her family were indigenous Almond Farmers, pronounced "Aman" and each season they had Almond trees that needed replacing and those are sold as fire wood. I pleaded that I needed Eucalyptus wood. She kindly advised me how "Aman" wood burned cleaner, as hot and had a pleasant aroma. I was truly curious to know more about this knew word "Aman". Laura explained that out in the fields, the farmers pronounce it "Aman". The word I always read as "almond" with an "l" and "d", instead the letters were silent. Forgive me for drawing out the wordplay, I find it fascinating growing up my entire life eating almonds and pouncing the word incorrectly from how an indigenous grower refers to the crop. Laura gave a price quote to deliver a quart of Almond wood that was less then I paid for Eucalyptus, I said I would call back. Within 30 min I did what any other wannabee firewood snob would do, which is search Google for "almond wood" and see what the first page says. That was about as far as research went, it just felt right. I called back and placed the order for Sunday Morning Delivery, COD. Laura called on Saturday to confirm the Sunday morning delivery time. Her husband showed up with a large commercial truck labeled "Hillerman's Firewood" on the side and greeted me with a smile, saying he was an "Aman" farmer. I just found this so cool. The truck tured into dump mode and dropped a full cord of Almond wood on the driveway. This was two weeks ago exactly from the time of this review. I have been so happy with this wood, that I will not be buying from any other supplier. The Almond wood does just what Laura said, it burns as hot as the Eucalyptus wood, it smells good and the big benefit is it has far less smoke then even the lowest smoking wood I could find. Each log was pre-cut into a perfect fire wood size with plenty of kindling. Hillerman's Firewood deserves all five stars from Yelp. I find it hard to believe only three stars show up. If you are searching for firewood, take it from me with my reputation on the line, a self proclaimed "firewood snob"; Hillermans has the best quality, value pricing and best story behind their service. It feels extra warm to know that each Almond tree has lived a good long life producing nuts and then put to good use by warming our homes. Thank you Hillerman's, I will be ordering much earlier next year for a discount. read more

Hillerman's Firewood - 5 star review now live for Hillerman's Firewood. - Firewood Near Me

I been buying from Hillerman for at least 15 years, or something like that. Even when I have access to Oak for free, I still order Hillermans Almond wood. Smells great, neighbors love the smell and in fact, its awesome for smoking BBQ too. And I just enjoy seeing Mark and his side kick dropping off in the wee mornings. They are easy peasy to buy from. And the wood is ideal seasoned ready to burn. read more

I have found that businesses that don't advertise their prices and force you to contact them by phone for pricing are usually overpriced and unreliable. I am not sure about the reliability as I didn't place an order because, guess what, the prices were too high! I don't recommend them or any other business that doesn't openly advertise their prices! read more

A beautiful cord of Almond delivered this morning. It was exactly as promised, bug free, rot free. I recommend ordering ahead of time since you have to fit into their busy schedule. They said 7:00 am and bam! Here they were. I would definitely recommend them to anyone. Just for additional information this is going into my fireplace insert. Which will fit perfectly. The logs are about 16" seasoned and ready to read more

Hillerman's Firewood - Mark Hillerman, keeping the family warm on a rainy day. - Firewood Near Me

This will be our 3rd year ordering from Hillerman's. They're a family company and have great customer service. I'm honestly baffled by the 3 star rating on yelp given my experience with them. I read the one star reviews just out of curiosity and they all sound like folks who wouldn't be happy no matter what happened. We started ordering with Hillerman's after we had a chimney fire in 2020 due most likely to burning wood that our neighbor sold to us that wasn't properly cured since our chimney had been cleaned not brag long before. I didn't know that this can be a major cause of chimney fires. I had a professional chimney and fire inspector repair the chimney and he taught me a lot about what to look for in good firewood and recommended Hillermans as it was where he got his own firewood. We got hardwood oak and walnut and a little pine split and delivered the first year. Last year we got 3 cords of walnut and oak I think. Honestly they give you more than you pay for. Not a single person who saw our stack believed it was only 3 cords and I don't either. It's a good value for your money and they dump it in our driveway. While it may be a little more than the "neighbor price" by the time you spent $7k on chimney repairs trust me you won't regret spending a little more on a quality wood that is totally dry as a bone and bonus- super light to stack. They don't stack it so if you're looking for that you'll have to hire the teenager down the street, but barring that one thing I wish I could change they are a great full service family business. You won't regret your choice. read more

I was really very disappointed with Hillerman's. I called them, spoke to Laura, and scheduled a delivery of a cord of Almond wood for a Wednesday. She told me that it would be delivered between 6 and 8am (crazy early) and that was the only day/time they could deliver during the week I needed the delivery. I thought, well, it is super early, but I will just be ready at 6am to get the delivery. I was up at 5:30 am prepared and waiting. They never delivered, never showed up and never called me to cancel the delivery. I called them at 9am and left a message, inquiring about the delivery and asking them to call me back. Called several more times and got nothing back. To be honest, it was very upsetting because that was horrible customer service. Buyers beware, Hillerman's has BAD customer service and is NOT reliable. I ended up ordering from Mike's Firewood service and was very pleased. Don't expect to get your Firewood Delivery from Hillerman's. Do you want to take that risk of being lied to and your time wasted? Go with Mike's. read more

I was a little worried, looking at the rather low star-rating, and reading some bad reviews, but I called Hillerman's after I couldn't get a call back from some of the favorites on Yelp. I was given a quote, a day and time, good firewood was delivered in the quantity we'd agreed on, and positively nothing went wrong. They don't offer stacking service, so I may use someone else for the next batch, but I can say I had no problems. read more

I been using Hillermans for over 12 years. Always good quality wood. You definitely get your money's worth. That is our main source of heat. The Hillermans are good honest people. Will always use them. read more

I've ordered from Hillerman's for 5 years now. They have always delivered on time, and communicated professionally and accurately if delivery times needed to change. The quality of the wood is excellent. In fact, it is the best firewood I've ever used, and I've used a lot having grown up in Colorado. Their almond wood has a wonderful smell, and burns great. Several of my friends have used Hillerman's and are very happy as well. read more

Called yesterday to ask about prices, then told the lady I'd call her right back. I called five times and there was no answer, then called three more times today and no one ever picked up. *shrug* read more

a zero rating, called and made appointment for delivery, (3 days later) they said they would call the night before, they never called to confirm like they said they would, I finally got a hold of them and they said they tried to call but they lost the phone number? I went over the directions for the next delivery date (3 days later) and then they call the night before and say that they can not deliver to us because we are too far out of their route,(add says they will deliver anywhere in San Jose). Vey non reputable company. Wish I had known early in the week instead of being strung along, Look for another company or they may string you along for week's!!! read more

My wife and I ordered a cord of almond in August for the winter months. The lady who took our call was very nice and the wood was delivered on time as promised. The delivery person was also extremely nice and the wood was seasoned and ready to burn. By now you are asking yourself what went wrong. The deliverery was short by exactly 20%. We called and left a message explaining the situation. We received an apologetic call back and they said they were very sorry and they would drop off more wood. Since then, we have not received the rest of our wood and they have not returned any of our many messages. We paid them as promised, I wished they would have honored their side of the deal. read more

I found their number when I was on craigslist looking for firewood. I called last thrusday(1/3/13) to order a cord of firewood delivered. The lady told me it's $300 and that they would deliver it to me on monday(1/7). She also say they will be in my neighborhood Saturday so there's a chance they can delivery it early on Saturday(1/5/12). She said she'd give me a call the next day (Friday) to let me know about saturday either way so I can be prepared. I received no call from her so I figure they'll just deliver it on Monday like she said. This evening, DH suggested I call them and comfirm what time they'll be by tomorrow. When I called the lady acted as if the conversation her and I had on 3 days ago didn't happen. She told me my delivery is scheduled for wednesday. I asked her why it was moved to wednesday and why was I not informed? Her answer? "I don't know why I told you we'll deliver to you Monday, we don't deliver mondays or tuesdays". WTF! I reminded her how she even told me they might deliver it on Sat. She laughed and told me they were in San Jose on Saturday not in Castro Valley like she said. I canceled the delivery, DH called another company and they were here within 2 hours, delivered and stacked our woods. I'm in awe in regards to how clueless Hillerman is when it comes to costumer service. I really can't believe they didn't care or apologize for they this whole mess. read more

First of all, I've been a customer for the past 4 to 5 years and have had no problems. However, this year has been a complete turn around. I finally received my cord of wood on the 3rd try. I went to use the wood later that night and discovered the wood is NOT seasoned. Instead of snap crackle pop, I could only heard the sound of water boiling out of the wood. Basically, the wood will not burn and is worthless until next year. I left a message on their answering machine and tried calling both numbers later that morning and both phone number have their message box full. I went to cancel the check but it's been cashed already. If the Hillerman's check Yelp, perhaps they can return my phone call and make some type of arrangement to rectify this problem. read more

Used them several times in past few yrs, this time a no show/no call will eliminate them from my call list in the future. Do not advise or recommend this business. read more

about 10 hours before delivery time, they call and tell me they have to cancel BECAUSE there is not another delivery near where I live. I waited a week for the delivery in the first place. Then they said MAYBE next week (another week) if they have a delivery in our area. DON'T ADVERTISE THAT YOU WILL DELIVER IF YOU DON'T! read more

Absolutely superb! In the past, because Hillerman's was busy, I've used other firewood advertisers off of Craigslist and been cheated, lied to and always disappointed. My first Hillerman's delivery of one chord of almond wood came yesterday. It was the cleanest, driest, uniform and consistent firewood I'd every purchased. And, instead of being cheated or shorted by the other wood dealers, I measured out the size of the delivery, and, it exceeded 128 cubic feet. SERIOUSLY, don't waste your time with anybody with a pick-up truck and/or trailer. Call Hillerman's and BE HAPPY! read more

Our latest order was awesome! No round pieces and they delivered early!

Just off the phone with the wife and wanted to share my experience. We ordered two or more cords of almond firewood, but after more than three weeks of working with them to get it delivered to our place in Grass Valley today, they now will not travel to make the sale. That's a horrible reason to renege on a deal after so many weeks after all the conditions of location, quantity and price had been agreed. Buyers beware if you live outside their backyard. read more
