Let's Figure It Out TogetherFeatured Project
The Butler Kitchen & Bath
A complete kitchen and bathroom transformation for a growing family. Custom cabinetry, heated tile flooring with Schluter Ditra-Heat, a walk-in shower with precision tilework, and a kitchen designed for both cooking and gathering.
Every surface was chosen with intention. The heated floors throughout keep bare feet warm on cold Shenandoah Valley mornings. The shower features custom tile patterns with integrated niches — built to be beautiful and functional for decades.
What Our Clients Say
Built on Trust
“Justin and his crew were incredible. They finished our master bathroom on time and the heated floors are the best decision we ever made. Couldn't be happier.”
“From the first consultation to the final walkthrough, Bear Ridge made the whole process easy. They communicated every step and the quality speaks for itself.”
“We've used Bear Ridge for two projects now — our deck and our kitchen. Both times they exceeded our expectations. There's nobody else we'd trust with our home.”

A Family That Builds
With Heart
Justin Keppler has been building and remodeling homes in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley for over 20 years. What started working alongside his father in the roofing business grew into a passion for residential construction — and a reputation for getting the details right.
Together with his wife Heather, who manages the office, Bear Ridge Construction is a true family business. They raise five children, homeschool, and homestead on their rural property. The same values that guide their family — hard work, honesty, and doing things the right way — guide every project they take on.
"When you partner with Bear Ridge Construction, you are partnering with a local family who has your best interest at heart."
