We used Beshears for a pretty major remodel of a commercial facility. They had to work around us working and did a great job. Kelly in particular was very helpful throughout the process. I would highly recommend for any construction needs.

Beshears built our new EyeGroupMD building on Dallas St in Ft Smith. We had a fabulous experience with the entire team! Eddy, Kelly, and Dennis headed our construction team. They are super to work with and continue to be helpful even after we have moved in. We are extremely proud of our building and so thankful to all involved at Beshears. Can't wait to find another building project to do with them!

These folks are the best in the business. Honest, prompt and common sense. They help keep a commercial building and grounds up and running for us and I am an absentee property owner living in Oregon. I totally trust Eddy Beshears and his crew. Frankly, I'd be lost without their assistance.
