Foremost has completed two renovations for us over the last two winters-a kitchen and a master bathroom. We are extremely happy with both end products. The design process is fun and they are extremely detail-oriented, walking you through every step of the process. The build phase was efficient and well-organized. All their staff, from the designers to the project leads and sub-contractors, were very friendly and professional. They are very transparent with timelines and budgets. We absolutely love these folks and strongly recommend using them if you are looking for top-quality craftsmanship and professionalism in the upper valley!!!
Foremost Builders provided us with knowledgeable solutions for a challenging renovation of our older home. Working efficiently and professionally, their staff provided us with estimates, design and renovation for multiple work areas within the timeframe and budget they provided. We are very pleased with the quality of their work and the resulting renovation. We highly recommend Foremost Builders.
The Foremost team was a pleasure to work with - great people who care about the quality of both their work and the customer experience. They were professional, reliable, collaborative and effective communicators. Our project was completed on time and on budget. We were very satisfied with the outcome.
We did a gut reno on our 3 bedroom home with Foremost. From estimate to design to completion, working with the Foremost team was straightforward, detail-oriented, quality-focused and transparent. I was nervous about being remote from the project, but I couldn’t be happier with the result. My project lead provided daily photos and notes to keep me informed of progress and didn’t hesitate to ask me questions during the build phase to make sure everything would meet my expectations. You will be in good hands with Foremost.
Working with Foremost on my kitchen renovation was an exceptional experience in every regard. From the the design/build process to the finished product, Foremost seems to fully embrace a simple (but underappreciated) operating principle: under-promise and over-deliver. The team set clear expectations of budget, timeline and finished product from the first meeting and consistently exceeded expectations throughout. Key differentiators that made the experience exceptional: 1. A design/build process that was seamless, thoughtful and efficient. The handoff of the project plan from the design team to the build team was well-orchestrated and executed. Everyone was focused on the same objectives and outcomes. 2. No down time. From the start of demolition to the final punch list, a member of the team was working onsite daily (and sometimes even weekends) to stay on time, on schedule, on budget. The project lead showed impressive time-management skills, completing his necessary elements of the renovation while coordinating the electrical, plumbing, etc. subcontractors in such a way that eliminated any down time. 3. Exceptional communication. As I was in another state during much of the renovation, I greatly appreciated the daily progress updates and pictures, documenting work that had been completed each day. The builder software app made it easy to efficiently communicate with the project lead and team regarding questions, changes, etc. 4. Attention to detail. Foremost has assembled what seems to be a really top-notch team of craftsmen. I was blown away by their attention to detail and the caliber of workmanship that went into making my kitchen awesome. It really seemed like the lead on my project pursued the entire renovation with the mindset that it was his own kitchen / living room that was being remodeled. Bottom Line: An exceptional experience all around.
