From the start of design to the very last day of construction we felt like we were in safe hands. The entire Foremost team was exceptional and we will be coming back to them far into the future for our remodeling needs. I would suggest Foremost to anyone in the Upper Valley looking to get high quality work done with folks they can trust.

I would recommend Foremost Builders to a friend. In this recommendation, I would mention the issues I had that are listed below.

The media room looks exactly the way I imagined it would.

Amazing

Excellent business model made the process easy to navigate. Outstanding work with very skilled workers. The final product is fantastic.

Definitely. From the initial discussions and throughout the project, I fully trusted that the contracted work would be of outstanding quality and that Foremost would stand behind their name.

A bath remodel was the second project that Foremost has undertaken with me. As before, from design to construction to punch list, all aspects were completed in a professional and collaborative fashion. Two major unanticipated problems during construction were quickly resolved to my complete satisfaction and at reasonable cost. Kelsey, once again, started by eliciting a thorough understanding of what I wanted in the finished renovation and assisted me in determining how to achieve it while saving me from myself occasionally and suggesting features/equipment that I was not aware of. Jon executed beautifully, and also consulted me on construction details that I might want to consider. Trade partners were professional and skilled. The small number of punch list items was corrected expeditiously and to my complete satisfaction.

Highly recommended in all aspects of a remodeling project.

Very easy to work with. Cost is transparent and managed throughout the project. Makes sure everything is done properly. Foremost is the builder to work with for a low stress, high quality build.

All work was done well and as promised. We are very pleased with our new sunroom and deck.

Foremost provided excellent service. The quality of the work is exceptional. Much attention was given to all phases of the process from design to demo to building. They always made sure that our new kitchen would be what we wanted and would reflect our needs and lifestyle.

Foremost Builders were reliable, professional, and willing to please. They stand by their work and were genuinely interested in ensuring our satisfaction. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for superior work.

The outstanding design and build processes resulted in a beautiful kitchen that clearly increases the value of our home.

I was completing this project via long distance, so I had family and friends overviewing the project. My family and friends were impressed with them and have asked me for contact information, so they can use them. I am very happy with the final result and the entire process. Although it was long distance, they had excellent communication and I knew what was going on. It was easier than I expected.

Everyone that would check on the project for me was impressed with the workmanship and professionalism.

Additional Comments

Additional Comments - I particulary liked the time taken on the front end of the project doing the design, project schedule and cost estimating. This tied in nicely to the contract process and definitely makes the project move smoothly.

..

Yes, I have already and will continue to do so with high regards. But, I might hold off for now until I get my next remodel project on their schedule.

Overall Experience

Overall Experience - My overall experience with Foremost was incredibly positive. I will turn to them for my future house remodel needs and will recommend them with no reservations to my friends and family. I love my new kitchen. I sit in my living room and look out into the kitchen. I am still blown away by how the space has changed in such an amazing way. Before, it was dark, dreary, cold, and not a space that I enjoyed being in or inviting friends into. It is now open, bright, warm, and very very functional. Thank you to all at Foremost who had a part in transforming my kitchen into such a beautiful space.

Understood Needs

Understood Needs - I strongly agree with this and the installation of the little kitchenette in my basement for me to use during the remodel was a huge help.

Recognized Excellence

Recognized Excellence - Jon and Lee both deserve recognition. I don't think I thanked them enough at the end of the project but they were both key in bringing my new kitchen to fruition and keeping me sane during the process.

Having had poor experiences with contractors in the past, I can confidently say that Foremost is incredibly professional and responsive and delivers a very high quality product.

Expertise

Expertise - Very impressed by the skilled craftsmen that handled my job and their attention to detail. They brought a level of attention and expertise that made it feel as though they were remodeling their own home.

Communication

Communication - Buildertrend made communication between myself and the contractor efficient and effective.

Quality Of Workmanship

Quality Of Workmanship - Incredibly impressed by the level of workmanship and the attention to the smallest of details.

Buildertrend Productivity

Buildertrend Productivity - Since I was not living in the home during much of the renovation, the ability to see the progress of my project unfold with the upload of the daily log was very helpful. It was great to see the incremental progress throughout the project. Obviously, it takes extra time for the lead to prepare the daily log with pics, but I think it's a great service especially for clients who aren't onsite.

Recognized Excellence

Recognized Excellence - The whole team was awesome. Hunter's attention to detail throughout the renovation was top-notch - really great craftsmanship with a desire to get even the small details right. Perhaps less visible to the client but incredibly important, was Hunter's ability to manage and orchestrate the sub-contractors so that everything was completed on time/budget.

Improvement Suggestion

Improvement Suggestion - Keep doing what you're doing!

I was very happy with them from the design process to the final punchlist!
