Forshee Construction & Restoration Guarantees:

Patrick gained valuable information and project experience working on joint projects with Concrete Preservation Specialist (CPS Construction), including high-rise buildings from West Palm Beach to Hutchinson Island and thereby adding concrete restoration to his company’s offering. Patrick developed relationships with many Property Managers and Condominium Associations as his volume of work steadily increased. Patrick has performed not only structural and coating projects for these clients but also offering many exterior enhancements, including new walkways, brick pavers, decorative stone and foam trim, new windows and door, pergolas, Bar-B-Que areas, etc. Many of his clients depended heavily on Patrick’s firm during the Hurricanes of 2004 and 2005.

This experience led Patrick into many Historic Restoration projects in the Palm Beaches, such as the Gulf Stream Hotel in Lake Worth, the Comeau Building in West Palm Beach and the Parliament Center (Theater) in Palm Beach, to name few. These types of projects enabled Patrick’s firm to gain valuable experience in structural and Historic restoration, expanding his experience and knowledge with structural steel and wood constructed buildings. Working closely with Architects, Engineers and Historic Boards added to his experience. In fact, this experience grew into a major passion for Patrick, and his work has expanded to include working on most of the major buildings on Clematis Street, in West Palm Beach, and worked on many projects with the Down Town Development Authority. This experience and passion also led to restoring many historic homes in the Palm Beaches. This focus required Patrick to develop a renovation, addition, and remodeling division, thereby expanding the company’s client base not only to Historic buildings and homes also but to many other residential single-family, multi-family and condominium renovations as well.
