What Clients Say

  • I highly recommend Rob of Bear Handed Building. Rob takes pride in his work and has a good eye for detail. He had some great ideas to achieve what I wanted. His work ethic and efficiency helped me finish my project quickly and with no fuss. Last year I bought a house in Forbes which needed renovation inside and out. A local real estate agent gave me Rob’s number as I was looking for a company who could complete the works, which included carpentry, plumbing, painting, and so much more. He even designed my front fence and gate, then built it by hand.
    Bear Handed Building workmanship is outstanding and the cost was below what I had expected. Would definitely use again.
