Foster Remodeling Solutions

To my misfortune I went against my better judgement, signed Foster's Partner Plan for a kitchen remodel, and paid the retainer's fee. I agree with the other reviews, this company is expensive but I was sucked in by the customer service. A team from Foster came out to my house to further refine the design and details. I wanted a wall removed so a structural engineer, so I thought, needed to see what was between the wall.

He carved out a hole in the ceiling to conduct an assessment. A few weeks later I get an email from the design representative with an attachment with a quote from an independent contractor (someone else) for structural services with a price tag of almost $2K that I was expected to pay. I was surprised because this extra cost was never mentioned during any of the previous sessions with the designer.

This lack of transparency caused me to question Foster's ability to deliver the project with integrity and without breaking the bank. The bottom line. I felt like a made a costly mistake. At this point a construction agreement had NOT been signed and no materials ordered. According to the signed Partner Plan my retainer's fee is not refundable ($5K+), not even prorated. So my money is gone, I have a hole in my ceiling, and no new kitchen.

Foster did two jobs for us over the past nine years: one an extensive remodeling of a sunroom enclosure, the other a smaller job upgrading our garage interior and turning it into a workshop. We subsequently had them bid on a bathroom renovation about two years ago, but they were grossly overpriced - nearly twice the bid of the contractor we chose.

If you have lots of money and don't want to be or can't be involved in the daily management of your project. this might be the company for you. Their general workmanship is good and they are responsive with ongoing jobs. However, they are very expensive - almost a minimum job price - and they are not responsive to warranty questions and issues in the timeframe that follows the completion of a job. They've simply become too expensive for us.even given our past engagement with them.

I called today around 2:16 pm July 19, Talked to the lady, told her about my project, to repalce old carpet with vinyl flooring, remodel bath room, standing shower replacement, recess lights, door replacement and paint :FOR MY TOWN HOUSE BASEMENT. may be the lady did not understand.she was talking about 3D demos, Internal design, 3 to four month feasibility etc. I told her. i need remodeling of m town house basement. I don't have a commercial project.' Any way I said Bye to her, either i didn't explain or she didn't understand

Foster Remodeling Solutions, Inc. recently completed our extensive kitchen and bath remodeling project. Every aspect of the project from our initial meeting with our Design Consultant, to the final inspection was executed in an outstanding manner. We have been completely amazed and very appreciative of the Foster planning and construction process.

If we had known how easy and organized our remodeling would be, we would not have delayed our remodeling project for several years. After having researched several remodeling companies, we selected Foster Remodeling Solutions based on their reputation, industry awards, client reviews, and most importantly, their five-year workmanship warranty. They were not the least expensive company, but they were the best in terms of reputation, quality and value.

In selecting Foster Remodeling Solutions, we became aware of the unmatched reputation of Marco, a Lead Carpenter, and we elected to delay the start of our project pending his availability. We were not disappointed! Marco, as assisted by Jairo, provided world class craftsmanship from the very first day of the project to the final inspection. Our renovation project was extensive.

It included removal of the existing kitchen/bath cabinets, countertops, appliances, drywall, insulation, electrical wiring and bathroom flooring. Marco and Jairo executed in expert fashion every action in the installation of new drywall, insulation, cabinets, countertops, appliances, backsplash and bathroom flooring. Doug, the Lead Electrician, assisted with the installation of new electrical wiring, switches and lighting fixtures. Marco and his team arrived exactly at 7:00 a.m., Monday through Friday, without exception.

They were extremely detailed and meticulous in their work, and ensured that the entire project work area was completely cleaned at the end of each day. The remodeling process was seamless from beginning to end. In addition to their superb craftsmanship, we had complete peace of mind knowing all work was performed in an expert manner. Our Project Manager, Lee, visited often and ensured that my wife and I were pleased with every aspect of our project's progression.

Following the project's completion, we were visited by David Foster for a final inspection. David carefully reviewed every square inch of the renovation in order to potentially identify any project discrepancies. Based on the outstanding craftmanship of Marco and his crew, David Foster's inspection identified zero discrepancies. Renovating a kitchen and bath as extensively as we did can be an overwhelming prospect. However, the team at Foster Remodeling Solutions made the process as painless as possible.

We are 100% pleased with our new kitchen and bath. Foster Remodeling Solutions has earned our highest recommendation. We anticipate working with Foster Remodeling Solutions in the near future on additional renovation projects. We are thrilled with our new kitchen and bath, and we wish that we had not waited so long to have our remodeling projects completed!

Foster's Remodeling Solutions has done an outstanding job remodeling our kitchen, downstairs bathroom, and upstairs master bathroom, adding a new walk-in shower and new linen closet. We are currently meeting with Dave Foster to remodel the family room, fireplace, and downstairs. Foster's does quality work and they are very reliable. I highly recommend them.

I've had Foster's complete three projects for me over the years: one bathroom remodel; one complete new bathroom addition; and one second floor kids playroom addition. All three were fantastic. On time, on budget and quality workmanship. Friendly, helpful staff makes the experience easy. I highly recommend them for any job.

Designer, Kayla Shoff, along with the entire Foster group, Lee Caslavka, Bill Denty, Jack Rodgers, Christian, Doug, and many more, were the absolute best! Attention to detail, excellent workmanship, timely and tidy, and most courteous minded folks. Couldn't be more pleased with the outcome!

I was so very pleased with the kitchen remodel and flooring the Foster's team made happen. Well worth the bit higher cost to get the top quality workmanship, professionalism, expertise, and customer service - cost, schedule, and product points were all met as discussed with outstanding results.

Great, friendly and knowledgeable remodeling staff with a beautiful showroom.

If you are looking for VALUE, look no farther than Foster Remodeling Solutions. They are not the least expensive company but the old saying rings true--you get what you pay for. Foster recently completed a kitchen remodeling job as well as extensive floor tiling in other rooms and reconstruction of our staircase handrail with wrought iron. The kitchen job was extensive.right down to the studs.and included new cabinetry, backsplash, lighting, island, and flooring, as well as appliance installation.

The quality of the craftsmanship was impeccable, the crew was professional, skilled, and trustworthy. Special kudos to Dory, our design consultant, Lee, our project manager, and especially Brian, our lead carpenter. If you have a large or difficult tile job, I highly recommend Brian; he is truly outstanding. David, the company owner, took a personal interest in our project and ensured every detail was attended to. We couldn't be happier with the outstanding work done by Foster Remodeling Solutions.

Currently my wife and I are in the process of getting estimates on our basement project. I have spoken with a handful already and the prices have varied as you would expect. However with the scope of work I want to get done I believe this is the wrong company for us. I want a bathroom installed, drywall, flooring, and some builtin bookshelves. The lady on the phone was very nice however when she told me the bathroom itself could cost $27,000 alone I knew this company was overpriced. This is a basement bathroom I am not expecting custom home quality fit and finish, middle of the road for a basement bathroom seems more than adequate for the job.

Unfortunately, I saw this review and still proceeded with an estimate from Foster Remodeling. A gentleman came out to our house to take measurements of our kitchen and before he even left he estimated that the project would be around $50,000. I told him $50,000 wasn't in our budget. He claimed he'd go back to the office and crunch the numbers to "see what he could do." However, that was over 3 weeks ago and I still haven't heard anything.

I agree with Chris V. In addition, the representative sent a quote but it went to my junk mail. He did not follow up to make sure I got the quote and I did not think to check my junk mail. I called the company to complain that I never got a quote (and that I had made a decision about what company to use) and disputed the $75 charge to come to my house. Once I realized the quote went to my junk mail I OFFERED to pay half the $75 charge but the company refused to work with me. Nice customer service.

We have been doing business with this company for nearly 10 years. We have used Foster Remodeling for 3 major projects and 2 smaller projects. Our experience has been 100% satisfying each time. Projects are well planned. Each of our projects has completed on time and on budget with no surprises. Workmanship is of the highest quality. Work crews are friendly and professional.

They show up every day as scheduled and clean up every day before departing. The 5 year warranty takes the worry out of the equation. We have had few occasions to use the warranty but in the instances we did, the issue were adressed promptly to our complete satisfaction. Highly recommend this firm for your remodeling needs.

Beware! This company is not interested in jobs smaller than $50k, though they won't tell you that. You take the day off, since we live out in the exurbs of DC, to meet Dennis (the owner) at your home during the work week to go over your kitchen remodel. You discuss project costs, and are told the next step is to wait two weeks for the initial design and take the next step.

Well two weeks come and go without word, you reach out via email to inquire "what's up" only to get no reply in return. Not a good business practice, hence this warning to others. Complete waste of our time without the decency of being honest with us. If zero stars were possible, that would be my rating.
