License holders also have to continue their training annually. Choosing a company such as Black Bear Builders a general contract that holds a current license also guarantees that the equipment used is properly tested and calibrated on a regular basis.

What Our Customers Say
Black Bear Builders did an excellent job with our unfinished basement. Other contractors I contacted prior to Black Bear Builders would not reply or be willing to take on the job. We had several items that were out of code from the time the house was built; therefore, there was a lot of effort with wall demolition, new electrical, new insulation, HVAC, and framing adjustments. During their work, they noticed our crawl space had moisture, which then led to the discovery of rotted siding. Stuart was open and honest, took the time to explain everything, fixed any problems, and made everything look amazing. There was constant communication with scheduling and providing updates, they were respectful of our home, and always cleaned up any mess after a long day’s work. Stuart and Tyler are deeply knowledgeable and display their skills with the work they do. Our family could not be happier with everything they did. I highly recommend Black Bear Builders and will be reaching out to them for future projects.
Stuart Cleveland and Black Bear Builders were recommended to us by friends who had used them and been pleased with their services. We in turn would highly recommend them. Couldn’t be more pleased with the work. Stuart and his team were very professional, personable and thoughtful. We would definitely use them again.
Installed large dog door w/dual flaps on side of house lower level. Installed new storm door. Stuart did an exceptional job. Very professional and came prepared! I will definitely be being contacting him again. He also built a 2ft x 2ft x 5" high riser for the outside wall for the dog door. This was so the inside/outside transition through the dog door would be level. This was at NO COST to me. - Nice Touch! If you want an honest, hardworking professional, you can't go wrong with Black Bear Builders.
Kitchen cabinet replacement and floor repair. Stuart worked with us to come up with great solutions to fix our water damaged kitchen. There were a few issues as there are in any project, but he resolved everything to make sure we were happy and kitchen looked great!
