Big Bear Remodeling
We specialize in Kitchen and Bathroom Remodeling Custom Home Builds. We also remodel Basements and Attics. We have an employee-based business model, so we use mostly our own employees instead of subcontractors. We also run our own in-house electrical and plumbing divisions, so we can pull all permits and manage your project under our umbrella. Our in-house Designers can do basic layouts or 3D renderings for the full design-build experience.
We are located in Beckley, and we service most of Southern West Virginia, including Raleigh and Fayette Counties. We are locally owned, and we are licensed by the state and bonded and insured with each city and municipality in which we work.
While we can work on any home from any period, we do work on a lot of older homes for our remodels. We are very comfortable with century homes, plaster and lathe, knob and tube wiring, balloon framing and the settling and structural issues that arise from these older, but beautiful homes. We will work with your theme and design, but we do like to try to stay true to the quality of the home and the materials we use.
Our History
In 2014, we started Big Bear Remodeling as a bath
renovation contractor, and we quickly evolved into a full service remodeling company taking on kitchens, additions,
decks, porches, whole-house remodels, and commercial work.
We opened our first office in Parma, and we more than doubled
in size that year despite growing pangs and a tough market.
In 2015, we moved our office to Rocky River, Ohio.
It was tiny but it allowed us to grow.
In 2016, we started Big Bear Plumbing & Electrical,
our own mechanical divisions.
In 2018, we completed the build-out on our new
showroom and warehouse in Rocky River.
In 2019, we were recognized by Remodeling Magazine
as one the of Top 50 Remodelers in the United States.
In 2020, we started focusing more on interior residential remodels, where our custom carpenters, tile setters, painters and finishers really shine.
​
In 2026, we expanded and opened up our second location
in Beckley, West Virginia, bringing our logistical expertise
and professionalism to Southern West Virginia in the form
of residential remodeling, light commercial remodeling,
electrical, plumbing and custom home builds.

We recently had our attic steps remodeled by Big Bear. They were very easy to work with. Their communication is top notch, from weekly schedules to easy to contact site managers it all helped to make sure we were on the same page throughout the process. Everyone on site was kind, communicative and kept my house in great shape during the process. Would highly recommend.

Big Bear remodeled my primary bathroom. At the initial visit the owner Rob sketched a great new plan for the space that no one else could match. The following layout meeting was at my home with the designer, plumbing foreman and Rob. Their knowledge and expertise reinforced my confidence that I had selected the best contractor. Through the planning phase and material selections Rob provided helpful guidance but never pressured. During the project the crew on site was skilled, courteous and dedicated to doing quality work. Communication with the project coordinator, office manager and Rob by text and email was excellent. The transformation of the finished bathroom is remarkable. It is completely revitalized. I highly recommend Big Bear. If I could, I would buy another house just to have Big Bear remodel it.

The entire crew was very easy to work with. They did quality work and were very respectful of our home and work space(s); both my husband and I work from home.
The price for the scope of work performed was reasonable, but very professional, at the same time.
Communication was very good and our questions/concerns were always addressed in a timely manner.
We will be using them again, for future home remodel projects.

We live an an old Lakewood home and wanted to update the kitchen and add a mud room. The Big Bear crew did an exceptional job. They were very responsive and attentive to detail. Good communication and quality workmanship made them a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Big Bear!

Lakewood, Ohio Bathroom, May 2021
We never used a remodeling company before. We had always just found various craftsmen and tradesmen and managed the project ourselves. But this bathroom was a big project and most of all, I didn’t want it to drag on for months, which can happen when you are managing your own project.
We found Big Bear on Angies’ list and we are so glad we did. I had definite ideas about what I wanted the bathroom to look like and their architect helped me make it a reality. Once I got everything picked out, they used rendering software to create images of what my new bathroom would look like.
Work did not start until all the materials and supplies were on site. Rob, the owner, held a meeting on site with the foreman just to make sure we were all on the same page. Communication between me and the company was great. I had direct text, phone, and email contact with Rob. In addition, I received a weekly phone call from Caitlin just to make sure everything was being addressed. If there are any issues, you can catch them in the very beginning and deal with it.
We had an excellent experience with Big Bear. They did what they said they would do. They showed up on time. They were respectful of my home. They protected the hardwood stairs and cleaned up every day. They worked efficiently and skillfully. My bathroom turned out better than I had imagined. And most importantly to me, they kept the project moving despite a few unexpected curve balls. We highly recommend Big Bear Remodeling!
