We wanted to do update/renovate the right way. Over the years we saw and heard what all can go wrong with free tradesmen.
At Foster Remodeling Solutions we attended a seminar, heard and saw what was important to us and made the decision to work with Foster. We are happy with the beautiful results.

Excellent workmanship. No surprises. Very organized process.

Designer was great, did not feel pressure to do anything we did not feel 100% comfortable with. Project budget was in line with expectations. All Construction workers both Foster employees and sub-contractors were great- top quality.

Fosters team was professional, competent and efficient.

There is just no comparison with the other companies we contacted

I am extremely happy with the finished product but for the very high price I don't feel I got the level of attention I assumed I would receive for an effort this expensive. Foster does not have enough team members to meet all the needs of all the projects they take on - they bite off more than they can chew.

On time and on budget, it was a great experience

We would recommend to our friends to attend Foster's seminar(s), to get to know their people, become familiar with the Foster process and make their own assessment. This did help us to get our first projects started.

I love my home due to their workmanship.

Have already recommended Foster Remodeling Solutions to several neighbors.

They were advertised as the Best and they are the Best

Foster Remodeling has far exceeded our highest expectations. We renovated our entire basement, our upstairs living area, and added porches, patios, and an accessible wheelchair ramp. Our designer--as well as the construction crew--listened to what we wanted and designed and built a space that fits our unique needs. Working with our designer was so easy--she carefully paced all the decisions we had to make and helped us understand and explore all our options. The team carefully considered and planned out every detail. The design and build were collaborative from start to finish; when the inevitable unforeseen issues arose, they provided us with options until we found a solution we were truly comfortable with--and the results were better than we originally planned. They worked around us--we lived and teleworked in the home the whole time (except when they warned us they were using a jackhammer), and they made sure it was not stressful. They spoiled our obnoxious puppy and were careful that he and the cat never snuck out of the house. The project manager organized everything behind the scenes so that the work never stopped--supplies were delivered when needed and we were never waiting for an inspector. They have electricians and plumbers on staff so the work proceeded smoothly. Every team member had a real passion for their job and was easy to work with, and it was clear they were committed to the company and the company took good care of them. Our carpenter worked on each aspect until he was fully satisfied with its quality--there is not a higher bar! The level of craftmanship and pride they take in their work is built into our dreamhouse, which is a more beautiful, comfortable, and livable space than we had imagined.

We have full trust and confidence in Foster’s design and installation process and would not hesitate to recommend Foster Remodeling to a friend!

I have only good things to say about our experience with all the people who work for Foster Remodeling Solutions. They are all excellent professionals who do a top-notch job. I would definitely recommend Foster to a friend!

Fabulous guided navigation through all of the complex decisions required in a major remodel

Foster Remodeling Solutions was a great company to work with. All the staff were very skilled, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with. We are very glad that we chose Foster Remodeling Solutions for our kitchen remodeling project.

Foster Remodeling Solutions executed the plan that we discussed. There were no new additions. They finished earlier than I expected.

All the work Foster remodeling does is excellent. You always know things are done correctly every time they work in your house.

I already did this a several days ago to this same polling outfit.

They were excellent in both the design and execution phases.

Foster Remodeling Solutions did an excellent job! They were very attentive to our needs and requirements, and their process through the design and construction was very thorough!

The attention to detail was outstanding. I've used contractors in the past but this was by far the most comprehensive and rewarding experience.

Our project was professionally done on time and met all our expectations. We would highly recommend Foster Remodeling.

In any huge project, there could be hiccups. Whenever we've had any question, David Foster and his team have resolved it promptly and to our complete satisfaction!

We are extremely pleased with Foster Remodeling especially with our carpenter Jonathan. We would highly recommend Foster Remodeling to people who are considering remodeling their homes. We were very pleased with Rachel's design concepts and suggestions.

I have now done 2 big projects with Foster's, and I can't believe I didn't do them sooner. Both times, I wasn't exactly sure what I wanted, but Foster's took time with me to really figure out what I wanted, what went well with my home, and what would work. Both times, the work started earlier than planned, and finished early. The work space was neat, my house was barely disrupted, and the workers kind and professional. Even my dog loved seeing them every day. I was kept informed before and during the project. I was never stressed and knew I was in good hands throughout. Love my new space!

They are outstanding, with integrity. They're true to what they say, and very professional.

Our kitchen remodel was a wonderful experience from the design through installation. We could not be happier with our new space! Our wants and needs were meant during the design process. Julia was receptive to what we wanted and translated that into a beautiful functioning kitchen. Jonathan is a master craftsman, his attention to detail made the kitchen a work of art. He was a joy to have in our home every day for the months of our project.

Throughout the process, we had great communication with our designer. The construction came in ahead of schedule- which is almost unheard of!

We highly recommend Foster Remodeling. We have always returned to Foster Remodeling for our major home remodel projects, including three bathrooms, kitchen and basement family room. We continue to be impressed by the quality of the work and attention to detail.

Fosters did a great job. In developing the project, their consultants knew their stock and options for different elements of our remodeling project very well, and made us feel welcome and comfortable in the showroom. I never felt “upsold” and they made helpful suggestions that led to a great result. They were also patient and accommodating as some of the parameters of our project changed over time. They communicated well with us, both before and after we signed our contract.

In the construction phase, they came every day exactly when they said they would, were careful to avoid as much construction mess as possible and left our home neat each day, and were professional and courteous throughout. They worked quickly and efficiently too. The final product is just what we hoped. We would strongly recommend Fosters.

I have recommended them to everybody.

Expertise

Expertise - Foster gives a huge list of customers to contact regarding their experiences with Foster.

Professional & Organized

Professional & Organized - We were given detailed notes/calendars on how the project was to be completed. All decisions/questions were answered before the project was started. After the project was completed, we had a personal visit from Mr. Foster and our project manager to go over the work done and go over all the warrantees.

Schedule

Schedule - We were given a start date and an end date!

Budget

Budget - Foster helped us make financial decisions, helping us weigh cost versus look etc. Extremely helpful.

Construction Quality

Construction Quality - The finished project looks even better than we had anticipated. The workmanship is fabulous-lots of "little" details done.

Communication

Communication - We felt on top of the project at every step. Our lead carpenter went over what was going to be done each day, made preparations so that the work did not interfere with what was going on in the rest of the house, and answered all our questions. He also made suggestions as we went along about things we had not through of, as well as constantly checking the contract with us to make sure everything was satisfactory. Jack is a gem.

Problem Resolution

Problem Resolution - We did not have any problems :-).

Clean & Safe

Clean & Safe - The site was cleaner than the rest of the house.

Employees & Subcontractors

Employees & Subcontractors - We enjoyed everyone with whom we worked. All the employees and subcontractors were friendly and so helpful if we had questions. We had extra of something and the subcontractor suggested a use for the extra material that turned out beautifully.

Dust & Dirt Control

Dust & Dirt Control - Absolutely! Jack put filters on return vents, as well as the "curtain" on the doorway to the basement for example.

Designer Knowledge

Designer Knowledge - Christ was fabulous from start to finish. He helped us achieve our goals in our project plus was most helpful in helping us select finishes-floor, paint, tile etc. He had lots of suggestions based on his experience-what worked and what was not as good. He really listened to what we wanted and made it happen. The project would not have turned out so well without Chris's input.

Designer Communication

Designer Communication - Chris always got back to us immediately over any concerns.

Value Received

Value Received - The Foster estimate was not the lowest we had, however, the quality of the job to say nothing of the professionalism of the crew, made the cost absolutely acceptable. We received more than fair value for our money because of our experience with Foster people.

Review

Review - I would recommend Foster Remodeling without hesitation. From start to finish, our experience was fabulous. Foster people listened to what we wanted and helped us achieve that goal. Everyone with Foster was professional and courteous. Foster people went out of their way to help us make decisions on tile/paint/carpet/finishings etc. They gave us wonderful ideas and helped us formulate a great plan. They started and finished on time and the process was beautifully organized.

Always on time, thorough and polite. You are treated like you are a valued member of the team while decisions are made and while work is being completed. They have pride in their finished product.

Great job from start to finish.

On time, on budget, outstanding results.

Foster Remodeling Solutions met our every expectation throughout the project. They problem-solved to our satisfaction on those few occasions where a unique solution was required. They started our project a couple of weeks late due to weather but adjusted their work force and managed to maintain the original completion date. Their staff were professional, skilled, efficient, and a joy to interact with. We would not hesitate for a moment in recommending them to neighbors, friends, others for their remodeling needs..

Absolutely. In my opinion, Foster Remodeling Solutions is the best design-build firm in the Washington metro area. Period.

This summer we completed our third large remodeling project in 20 years with Foster. When we decided to have the work done last year, we didn’t talk to any other company—we went straight to Foster because we know well their commitment to quality and communication regarding all aspects of a large project.

I don’t think we have any changes left to do on our house, but if we did, we know who we’d hire without question.

We have had Foster Remodeling Solutions do 5 projects for us including bathrooms, fireplaces, and a chimney repair. These were all done to our satisfaction with attention to details. The Fosters employees thoroughly explained and documented each step of the remodeling projects and completed their work on time. We felt the walk through after each completion and the notebook with the details of each project and warrantee information were helpful records to have.

We did recommend Fosters to our new neighbors, who chose Foster for their project.
