It was a great experience working with Foster Remodeling Solutions. So many people I've talked to who have had remodeling work done have had complaints the whole way through, and we've had no complaints.
This was our second major job with Foster. We find them to be very professional, thorough, reliable, clean and timely. They are the best of the best and we look forward to working with them again in the future.
We found Foster to be both friendly and professional in all of its dealings with us. The ability to have a designer, architect and builder under one roof made it easy to accomplish what we envisioned when we started this project. We knew what the cost would be before we started, and there were never any "unexpected" expenses once the work began.We are extremely satified with the finished project. Foster was there to remedy any problems that arose with subcontractors. We have and will continue to recommend Foster.
I would highly recommend Foster Remodeling. The entire experience with Foster Remodeling was smooth and easy. Everyone from Foster Remoding was always completely professional, competent and on time. They always made sure we were getting exactly what we wanted - color, material, quality, and style. We were also very impressed with the measures they took to protect the rest of the house during the remodeling. We couldn't be more pleased with the results. C.K.
We loved working with Foster and their team. Everyone was amazing. They communicated daily on what was happening, cleaned up after themselves and gave us an amazing kitchen. Thank you!
Foster's provided a very comprehensive project planning stage for which we were very grateful not having executed a project of this size in our home in the past. While the extensive planning took several months, the time was well spent as the execution of the project was nearly flawless. We are exceedingly happy with this contracting agency.
FRS built a 1750 sq. ft. two-story addition to my home in 2003-4; since that time we have had them return for two other large projects. We have felt lucky that we found them as our builder... the staff, from sales to clean-up, have been experienced, professional and courteous. Projects have been within budget and always on time; no hidden costs and no extra time to reorder a part that was incorrect. I would recommend them without reservation to anyone looking for a reliable contractor.
It has been a fabulous experience. I was afraid of doing something like this before but after what I went through I would do it all over again in a heart beat. It was just wonderful. I have already recommended them to many of my friends.
Our bathroom project was the second job that we've done with Fosters after our kitchen remodel. We know this quality work is adding value to our home. Working with Fosters team of professionals is easy and reassuring with every step of the process.
The crew could not have been nicer, they were professional and helpful and we had a very very pleasant and positive experience. I will use the company again the future if the need arises. I will recommend them to someone else in the future.
As with most people I am worried about getting quality work and good value for my money, especially when you are a single mom with two kids. My project was a new kitchen which also moved walls and changed the purpose of rooms in my house. The results were amazing and everyday when I come in the house I have to pinch myself and say "Is this really mine?".The craftsmenship on this project iwas amazing. It doesn't take much knowledge to hang a cabinet; what takes experience is making everything level and square in a 40+ year old house. Thank you Foster Remodeling Solutions and a special call out to Marco who did a fabulous job!
I found them to meet or exceed every expectation. Their recommendations enhanced the projects and were very much appreciated. In total I am absolutely satisfied. I have used them on 5 previous projects so I wouldn't be coming back if they were not good solutions.
We just completed a family room renovation with Foster Remodeling. Over the years, Foster has also remodeled our kitchen, guest bathroom and basement. They replaced all doors and windows, built a master suite closet and added a sunroom. This most recent project, like all others, was completed without any problems. The Foster way of planning for a project is very effective and prevents disputes from erupting along the way. The cost you pay is the cost in the contract. No surprises along the way. And, our salesman, Chris Arnold, worked with us during the design phase to ensure that we thought through the many options available so that we ended up with the results we were looking for. He is patient and extremely professional and thorough. We had a different lead carpenter on each project and each one has been respectful, hard working, communicative and a master at the details. We highly, highly recommend Foster!
We are very happy and proud of our new addition and are continuing to use Foster for handyman services and new projects. We actually look forward to having work done by Foster in the future.
Dave was totally and completely thorough and attentive and knowledgeable and still is.
We were very pleased by Foster's subs and the amazing and competent employees...
Several of our neighbors commented on how clean and neat the property was kept by Foster and how they were very careful to not disturb parking places or neighbor's property.
Foster staff immediately returns emails or phone calls
We are very proud of our beautiful new addition. It enhances our property and fits into our yard as if it was always there.
4 plus! They brought in an air purifier to help with the dust.
There was a point in which I had to change material that I was going to use, so we had to re-gear about the material that we were going to use, but it was handled well by Foster.
The lead carpenters who have have worked on projects for us, including Jack Rodgers in the past, as well as Brian Penater on our just completed project, are very knowledgeable and commited to the values of the company. Further, I always appreciated the time given to answer my "why and how" questions so I understood what was in the walls after everything was closed up and painted.
We will and have done so in the past. Most of the people we recommended Foster Remodeling Solutions to have had the company do a project.
Definitely. The company has completed several projects for us.
When he did not have the answer immediately, he always got back to us with an answer when he said he would.
Chris' experience is very obvious. He always gave us good ideas and solutions which made sense.
Everyone always did so.
This was always the case.
This is an essential part of the company's success and excellent reputation.
When a schedule change was necessary, the reason and the fix were explained thoroughly. The time of the project finish was not jepordized.

Homebuilders, remodelers, real estate developers and home services companies pay GuildQuality for customer surveying and performance reporting. We refer to these companies as GuildQuality Members, Guildmembers, or members.
Our service helps Guildmembers monitor customer satisfaction and -- if they choose to publish survey feedback on our public website at guildquality.com -- articulate the quality of their service for prospective customers.
All of the Guildmember information we publish at guildquality.com has been provided to us either by the member (such as pictures of work and biographical information) or by their customers via one of our surveys (customer comments, performance summaries, and reviews).
All of the customer feedback that we publish is derived from the customers we survey. Our Guildmembers provide us with their customers' contact information, we conduct the surveys, they receive the feedback, and -- if they have chosen to make their feedback public -- the member's performance report is automatically updated to reflect the response. Members may choose to publish a summary of either all of their feedback or their most recent twelve months of feedback.
In addition to average performance ratings and survey statistics, GuildQuality also publishes two types of customer commentary: Comments and Reviews.
A comment has been provided by a survey respondent in response to any one of the survey questions we ask, and a member may or may not choose to publish it. Often customers provide unsolicited testimonials or compliments, and members can choose to share these comments in their published performance report.
Many Guildmembers choose to participate in our formal review process. These members have added an additional question on their survey: "If you'd like to provide a public review of your experience working with the Guildmember, please share it here." In contrast to comments, which a member selects to have published, we publish all reviews, provided they are at least 30 words long. With each review, we include a one to five star rating provided by the survey respondent.
It is important to note that GuildQuality does not endorse the qualifications of any company. We make no predictions, warranties or guarantees, expressed or implied, about the quality of any work a company on this website may provide. GuildQuality does not accept any liability whatsoever for any harm that might result from any statements presented on this website.
Prospective customers should weigh a multitude of factors when choosing the right building company, and never depend on a single source when making their decision to purchase a home or hire a contractor.
