About Us

At Bearable Building, we believe remodeling your home should be exciting — not stressful. Based in Lake Tahoe, we’re a small team of builders, designers, and craftspeople who love helping homeowners reimagine their spaces with care, creativity, and craftsmanship. Every project we take on is a chance to combine quality workmanship with the character and charm that make Tahoe living so special.

Who We Are

We’re a locally owned and operated construction company specializing in remodels, additions, and custom projects throughout the Tahoe region. With years of hands-on experience and a passion for quality, we take pride in the details that make a house feel like home. From start to finish, we’re committed to honest communication, reliable scheduling, and craftsmanship that reflects both your vision and the mountain lifestyle we share.

Whether it’s transforming a dated kitchen, opening up a living space, or adding a modern mountain touch to your cabin, we’re here to make the process smooth and collaborative from start to finish.

Meet the Owner

Robert Dawson founded Bearable Building with a simple goal — to bring honesty, craftsmanship, and clear communication back to the remodeling process. With years of experience in residential construction and a reputation for doing things the right way, Robert has built a business rooted in trust and quality.

Known for his hands-on approach, he’s involved in every stage of a project — from the first walk-through to the final finish nail. Robert believes in treating every home like it’s his own, showing up on time, doing clean work, and making sure every client feels confident and cared for. His down-to-earth personality and strong work ethic have earned Bearable Building a loyal base of happy homeowners throughout the Tahoe area — from Truckee to Incline Village and beyond.

Our Approach

We know construction can feel overwhelming — that’s why communication and reliability are at the heart of what we do. We show up when we say we will, keep things tidy, and make sure you’re always in the loop. Our goal is simple: to deliver beautiful work that feels right for the way you live. Every project starts with a conversation, not a contract — so you can feel confident knowing we understand your vision and respect your home.
