The company's history begins in 1927 when a man named Joseph Becker came
from Germany to Zinzinnati, Ohio. He eventually settled in a little city
across the river from Cincinnati called Woodlawn, Kentucky, nestled between
Bellevue, Fort Thomas and Newport, Kentucky. Joe Becker was a skilled stone
mason and building craftsman when he came to Cincinnati and it wasn’t long
before he began building homes in the area. Those homes can still be seen
throughout the Northern Kentucky area, many with the trademark mixture
of decorative fieldstone and brick.
In 1935, Carl Huber went to work for Mr. Becker, and in 1940 he married
Mr. Becker's daughter and shortly thereafter took over the family business.
He ran it very successfully with building projects located in Florence,
Crittenden, and Alexandria, and subdivisions in Edgewood, and Woodlawn
and many beautiful homes in Fort Thomas. Carl Huber had an outstanding
reputation as an excellent builder and remodeler and above all a man that
you could trust to handle your project fairly and professionally.
In 1975, a young carpenter named Dennis Behle came to work for Mr. Huber
and, you guessed it, he married Carl Huber's daughter. In July of 1981,
Dennis became the Owner and President of Huber & Behle Inc..
From 1981 to present day, Dennis Behle has operated the business keeping
in mind the principles, ideals, and ethics that made his predecessors so
successful. Huber & Behle is proud to have retained several very skilled
carpenters and craftsman that had originally worked for Carl Huber, bringing
with them outstanding skills, knowledge, and a work ethic that is admired
by all of our customers.
