Schedule a Phone ConsultationWhat Is A Certified Remodeler?
NARI provides a certification process for those willing to work to a higher standard. Certified Remodelers undergo additional training, testing, background and reference checks and must renew the certification periodically. Hiring a NARI Certified Remodeler is your assurance that you are hiring an outstanding professional.
What is Design-Build?
We love this question! Design-build is a seamless approach to construction that simplifies the process to maximize your investment. We handle every aspect of your project from the engineered drawings to the final trim work. Rather than work with an architect, contractor, and interior designer, we provide all those services in one easy location. Check out our brochure to learn more!

If you don’t see your area on our service map, give us a call! We’ll let you know if we’re able to accommodate your project.
How Much Will My Remodeling Project Cost?
No two projects are the same, so we hesitate to give you a cost range before we meet. We apply a formula to determine the costs of each project based on the scope, product selection, timeline and budget. When we deliver an estimate to you after our initial design meeting, we offer options within a range of price points to give you control over how much you spend and where you may splurge or trim.
Do You Work Within My Budget?
While each project we design and install is unique, we make every effort to provide you options that meet various price points. Our expert design consultants and showroom team walk you through the process and help you determine where cost issues can be addressed.
Does Foster Offer Financing?
There are several methods to finance your next project. At Foster Remodeling Solutions, Inc., many clients choose financing as a way to meet their goals and work within your budget. View our financing partners at https://fosterremodeling.com/remodeling-financing-partners/
How Long Will My Project Take?
During the planning stages, we provide a detailed timeline and schedule you can reference throughout the project. We work efficiently, but we’re also realistic when it comes to construction. We’ll keep you informed throughout the process.
Is Foster Lead Paint Certified?
Yes! We are a Lead Safe EPA Certified Firm. Foster has fulfilled requirements for Toxic Substances control Act,( TSCA) 402 and has received certification to conduct lead-based paint renovation, repair and painting activities pursuant to 40 CFR Part 745.89.
Do I need to Worry About Permits in my County?
