About Forestville Builders & Supply Inc.

Forestville Builders & Supply (FBS), a third-generation family-owned construction and millwork company founded in 1958, runs major commercial and residential projects nationwide. But as demand grew and complex timelines converged, FBS needed a high-precision metal fabrication partner who could move fast, communicate clearly, and maintain uncompromising quality. They chose JR Metal Works.

The Challenge

The FBS team faced a perfect storm:

Compounded scheduling delays from other trades
Compressed production timelines
Increased scale and complexity of commercial projects
Millwork components requiring metal fabrication support

Despite having existing suppliers, FBS needed additional capacity fast — without sacrificing craftsmanship or communication.

“There were not enough time and man-power to stay the course. Aspects of multiple projects were delayed, which caused friction between FBS and those that contracted us.”

Why JR Metal Works

When pressure mounted, FBS reached out to JR Metal Works based on reputation, trusted relationships, and a shared commitment to quality.

From day one, JR demonstrated urgency and ownership:

“They took on the challenge and worked extremely hard to help shift the project's momentum. Very flexible and responsive communication … excellent attention to detail and quality.”

Key reasons FBS continues choosing JR Metal Works:

Fast, reliable turnaround
Expert in-house capabilities
Collaboration on complex designs
Transparent and proactive communication
Ability to share models, meet in person, or solve challenges remotely
Commitment to getting it right — not just getting it done

“JR has been a very reliable and capable partner. JR takes on a project and gets it done in a very timely manner.”

JR Metal Works helped FBS meet critical deadlines that otherwise would have slipped — protecting client relationships and keeping major commercial projects on track.
