I had a disjointed balcony and deck that was built in stages by previous owners. It looked terrible and had some wood rot. Pat’s bid was reasonable and the project was done in a timely manner. Pat communicated with me regularly and addressed any questions and concerns I had. The deck, balcony, stairs, and walkway came together beautifully and even my out-of-state contractor brother was impressed with how it turned out.

Pat took a photo of a deck I sent him that I liked in my neighborhood and was able to draw up plans for my deck. He presented options and was up front about pricing at the initial meeting for a quote. I was indecisive on how the steps would go, colors for the decking materials, and railing. Pat is great at giving variations on what could be built and gives his honest feedback on what will look good. He did the deck in two days, and he is on time and hard working. If you want to hire a small business owner, that does the work himself with one assistant, Pat is your guy. His price came in half price of the larger companies that have a lot of overhead for sales staff, marketing, websites, and “show rooms”. It was a fantastic experience working with Pat on a dream deck I wanted for years. He designs it, builds it, and is there start to finish. With working full time and having two small children, Pat made this home project stress free. I will enjoy my deck for many years to come with Pat’s craftsmanship. He also loves what he does for a living, and you can see the joy that he feels sharing his passion for decks with people trying to create an outdoor space. I’m very happy that I picked Pat Forrest to do my deck. I highly recommend him!

Pat and his crew were a pleasure to work with. They really knew their stuff and we are satisfied with what they have done. We can rest easy knowing our deck was built with professionalism, and we will enjoy it for many years to come.

I was absolutely amazed at Mr. Forrest. I would hire him for any project. He is no nonsense and does super quality work. Probably the best Contractor I've ever used in all my houses.

Pat is knowledgeable, professional and creative! He is also fast. He s very experienced and confident. Our deck is beautiful. I loved watching the daily progress as it came together so quickly! He drew plans for us so we knew what to expect. He required his staff to clean up after each day s work. He also was on site for most of the construction and worked alongside his crew. They did not take days off, other than weekends, and worked in the rain! He came up with creative solutions. Pat is wonderful! You won t be disappointed!

We moved into a rental home in Ocean Beach and needed a rear deck built off the back slider. Pat was very responsive! The quality of work was top notch and he's an easy guy to work with! Highly recommended.

Pat turned out to be everything I wanted in a contractor. He rebuilt my front porch and it is beautiful. He was on time for everything and was able to complete the work in a timely manner. He even did a couple of other things for me that were not included in the original contract at no additional charge.

Pat responded to my request for assistance on my deck right away. We set an appointment and he was there on time and was able to diagnose the structural issue with my deck quickly. He provided us with an estimate that was very affordable and we moved forward with the project. He came back two days later and completed the project for us. We couldn't be happier with the work that he performed. I highly recommend Pat and his company.

We found Pat Forrest from HomeAdviser and he proved to be an exceptional craftsman for our home project. Pat was patient with us in scheduling construction and helping us in our decision of how our deck should look (My wife and I can become terribly busy and we take our time coming to a final decision on construction issues). We hire only the best craftsmen and contractors to work on our home projects, and Pat shows the same enthusiasm in the designing and building as we did. He was persistent, innovative, hard working, and above all creative. After we discussed the deck design we wanted I felt so comfortable and trusting of him that we allowed him to free-build the deck to include the features we wanted. Pat and his associate, Tom, did a fantastic job!! If you're looking for a specialty craftsman who builds decks, the only person I would recommend is Pat Forrest. Rest assure that with Pat running your project, you'll have the best tradesman in the business.

Pat and crew were great to have around the house for our demolition and rebuild of our deck. Demolition was quick and neat not an eye sore for the neighbors. Materials and lumber drops were on schedule. Pat Forest construction was "on time, on schedule, and on bid". We loved the look of our new deck

One word for Pat Forrest Construction - awesome! We had obtained multiple bids for our deck, and at times were ready to give up on the project. We were blessed to finally meet Pat. He is without doubt the most honest contractor I've met. He built an absolutely beautiful deck for us, and worked with us each step of the way. You cannot go wrong by hiring him.

This guy is the real deal in a world of people that are hard to trust. Knowledgeable, friendly, courteous. On time and completed the job when he said he would without any overruns. Pat actually did more work than originally discussed and never asked for or mentioned any increase on the agreed upon price. An honest contsruction company. Very refreshing.

Pat is professional, punctual, organized, creative, and great to work with. I feel so fortunate to have found and picked him to do my job. My home has a Cape Cod look, the way he changed the decks. I would not hesitate to recommend him.
