He's been an EXCELLENT superintendent and insists on walking away from the work very proud of all that was accomplished. He really makes you guys look good. I hope we get to work together again soon.

“Bear General Contractors recently completed multimillion-dollar projects which included a new fitness Center and Student Life Center at Pensacola Catholic High School. Bear’s time management and well-organized team have led to successful builds with minimal delays and minimal cost increase when issues arose while renovating old facilities. Being the project architect, I appreciated their efforts with this complex project and maintaining quality workmanship while controlling costs.

The result of Bear’s work ethic are facilities the students at C.H.S. will enjoy for years to come. I highly recommend without fear or hesitation Bear General Contractors for similar projects, and I look forward to working with them again.”

“I just wanted to express my gratitude to you for the amazing business you run and the outstanding team you have contracted for the Pensacola Country Club! The work they have performed in just the short time it has taken to accomplish the results I am seeing is truly amazing and I feel blessed that all of them are here to make us whole again.

As the Clubhouse Manager and the Events Coordinator, my job depends on getting the club back to a fully functional, beautiful space as soon as possible and that is what they are delivering. Scott is an amazing Superintendent and has kept this project moving at an even faster pace than I would have ever imagined and for that , I am grateful. I have recommended Bear Construction and will continue to do so as this crew has impressed me in every way possible.

Thanks so much for all you and your team do!”

“If dealing with COVID wasn’t enough to rock us in 2020 Hurricane Sally really set us back on our heals. With multiple functions scheduled and all our dining space sustaining damage we looked for a company that was not only professional and quality oriented but also flexible. With Bear Construction we got the whole package. They are true professionals with outstanding leadership and top rate subs. They are timely in their responses and we will finish our project on time and within budget. Their willingness to assist in working through our insurance claim has also been better then I could have hoped for. Five Stars!”

To me, it was a great blessing to work with people you knew well and knew to be people of integrity and excellence. Now, I know that I can feel the same way about our contractor for these projects! We look forward very much to working with you and to seeing these great blessings for CHS come into being!"
