Osceola Capital Launches Fortify Restoration

On July 10, 2025, Osceola Capital announced the exciting formation of Fortify Restoration, a strategic platform for structural restoration services, following their partnership with GC Restoration and its founders, Albert, Jorge, and Maria Cabada. This initiative marks Osceola's fifth platform investment from their current fund, reflecting their commitment to scaling successful business models within fragmented industries.

GC Restoration, headquartered in Miami, Florida, specializes in a range of exterior structural restoration services primarily in South Florida. Their extensive offerings include concrete restoration, building recertification assistance, waterproofing, weatherproofing, painting, and replacements for windows, railings, and roofs. The company serves an array of clients, focusing on high-rise condominiums and commercial properties that are essential in the dynamic South Florida market.

Speaking on the collaboration, Jorge Cabada, Co-president of GC Restoration, emphasized the growing need for their services. He noted, "Demand for concrete restoration and waterproofing is accelerating, not just in Florida but across the country. The awareness surrounding structural integrity has surged, particularly after significant incidents like the Champlain Towers collapse. Our services are now seen as mission-critical, which underscores the value we provide to our clients. Teaming up with Osceola will only enhance our ability to meet this rising demand."

Albert Cabada, the other Co-president, shared insights into their aspirations for growth. He stated, "For almost two decades, we've built our business, and now we seek a partner who can inject capital, modernize our systems, and provide strategic leadership. We believe that with Osceola's proven track record in scaling businesses, we can significantly expand our footprint and service offerings while continuing to support our existing customer base."

Ben Moe, Managing Partner at Osceola Capital, expressed excitement about the partnership, praising the Cabadas and their established reputation in the structural restoration industry. He remarked, "The GC Restoration team has built a strong foundation and an excellent reputation in one of the most vibrant markets in the U.S. Their deep industry knowledge and dedication to quality, combined with robust customer relationships, places them in an ideal position for substantial growth. We are eager to assist in expanding their operations and leveraging the numerous opportunities present throughout Florida and beyond."

The inception of Fortify Restoration builds upon Osceola's experience with facility service investments, joining a portfolio that includes companies like Tendit Group, which provides exterior commercial facility services, and Flotilla Partners, focused on home services. This strategic move highlights Osceola's commitment to investing in sectors that are poised for growth and resilience in the face of evolving market demands.

Osceola Capital, headquartered in Tampa, Florida, operates as a lower-middle-market private equity firm, aiming to partner with quality businesses in diverse service sectors. Their mission centers on creating value for management teams, partners, and investors while adhering to their core values and investment philosophies.
