There were three seasons of this series, which was a reboot of *an older Berenstain Bears animated series from circa 1987-88.*
I think the older series might be what you saw?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Berenstain_Bears_(1985_TV_series) - this here would be the original then.
Sorry, the art style really doesn't look like it. I think it was closer to Yogi Bear?
^ Yogi was from Hanna-Barbara, perhaps try searching under that production company and the time period you want?
- Cartoon was aired during 1990s.
- Likely was a Universal Studios cartoon, but I might be wrong.
- The main character was a bear with a family.
The typical plot went along the lines of:
- Wife wants repairs done/additions made to the house.
- The bear balks at the price tag and declares he will do it himself.
- A chain of increasingly disastrous failures ensue.
