Why Bear Lake Construction

A valley contractor, start to finish

  1. Dirt work and building under one roof

    We clear the lot, dig the foundation, run the lines, build the road and build the house. One company owns the schedule from the first bucket of dirt to the last floor tile.

  2. Built for this valley

    Deep frost, heavy snow and hillside lots full of rock are what we work with every year. Foundations go below the frost line and roads are built for the spring thaw.

  3. A reputation you can ask about

    We’ve been building here for more than a quarter century. Around here, a contractor’s work is something your neighbors can tell you about.

  4. Local, and easy to reach

    Based in Bloomington, Idaho, on Highway 89. Call (208) 945-3684 and you’re talking to the company that will do the work.

How it works

How a project goes

Whether it’s a tile shower or a house on an empty lot, it starts the same way.

  1. 1

    Call us

    Tell us what you want built, fixed or dug, where it is, and when you’d like it done.

  2. 2

    Walk the site

    We look at the ground and the job with you, because no two lots around the lake are the same.

  3. 3

    Plan around the season

    Digging waits for the thaw and inside work fits the winter, so the schedule is built around both.

  4. 4

    Build it

    Ground work, structure and finish, by one company that answers for all of it.

Where we work

Rooted in Bear Lake Valley

We’re based in Bloomington, Idaho, and most of our work is in the valley and the country around it: in town, on the farms, and on the hillsides above the lake.

Common questions

Before you call

What kind of work does Bear Lake Construction do?

New homes and cabins, remodels and additions, excavation and foundations, roads and driveways, utility work like water and sewer lines, and flooring and tile. Because we do the dirt work and the building, one company can take a project from an empty lot to a finished house.

How do I get started on a project?

Call and tell us what you have in mind: what you want built or changed, where it is, and roughly when you’d like it done. From there we can talk through what the job involves and set a time to look at it.

Are you licensed?

Yes. We’re licensed and bonded in Idaho, Utah, Montana, Wyoming, Nevada and California. In Idaho we also hold a public works contractor license and a complex septic installer license.

Do you take on public works projects?

Yes. We hold an Idaho public works contractor license, so we can bid and build public projects as well as private ones.

How long has Bear Lake Construction been in business?

More than 25 years, all of it in Bear Lake Valley. We’re based in Bloomington, Idaho.
