What Forristall Enterprises Inc does

Forristall Enterprises, Inc. is a privately held, family-owned commercial demolition contractor headquartered in Bradenton, Florida, founded in 1990 by Stephen and Mary Forristall. The company operates with a 15-person workforce from a single facility at 2712 63rd Ave. E, Bradenton, FL 34203, and is a State Licensed General Contractor (Class A) in Florida, with additional Florida State Certified Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and FDOT Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) certifications that make it eligible for set-aside public-sector bid pools. Its revenue is generated through project-based, competitively bid demolition and concrete cutting contracts across Florida, with pricing determined per project scope rather than through published rate cards.

The company delivers three core services. Complete Demolition covers full structural teardown including permits, notifications, and utility disconnections. Selective Demolition involves skilled removal of specific components to enable major renovations without full teardown. Concrete Cutting is operated as a separate division using hydraulic power units, hydraulic saws, track saws, chain saws, and core drills capable of cutting the thickest and most reinforced concrete. Custom implements designed by founder Stephen Forristall are a distinguishing technical feature, enabling work on difficult demolition projects. The company has completed over 5,000 projects since founding and carries $5 million aggregate bonding capacity.

Forristall's go-to-market is direct enterprise and government sales via competitive bids and proposals. Primary service area is the Florida Gulf Coast (Manatee, Sarasota, Pinellas, Charlotte, and Lee Counties), with stated capability to serve the entire State of Florida. The named customer base spans hospitality (Vinoy Hotel, Sunseeker Resort, Bentley Hotel), commercial real estate (Clearwater Center 15-story, Main Street Plaza 282,240 SF retail), sports venues (Raymond James Stadium), retail (Albertsons), government (St. Pete Beach PD, Venice Library, North County High School), industrial (Mercabo tank demolition), and nonprofit (YMCA Venice Daycare). The leadership team includes founder Stephen Forristall overseeing equipment fleet and projects; second-generation owners Michael and Jessica Forristall; CFO Jeffrey Phillips (28+ years finance experience); and Chief Estimator Carlos Gomez (architecture training, 16-year company tenure, bilingual). The company has a stated growth target of 8–10% annually through improved safety, time management, and equipment utilization.
