Verified record
Michael A Foote Remodeling is a Belmont, Massachusetts outfit that says it's been doing interior and exterior remodeling for 44 years, according to its BBB and HomeAdvisor profiles — everything from additions and foundation repairs to kitchens, siding, and new roofs. The written reviews on file are older — five detailed accounts from 2016 and 2017 — but they tell a consistent story. In a 2016 review, a homeowner described how Mike "carefully explained all facets of the job before beginning work" on a porch and roof repair that stopped ongoing water damage; another 2016 review described siding and weatherproofing work, noting that Mike "kept the momentum of the entire project going and called often to coordinate the work" even as a related landscaping job ran into delays. A 2017 review, the newest on file, called him "honest, trustworthy, and reasonably priced" after several years of ongoing work on the same home. The company holds an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, though it isn't a BBB-accredited business. BuildZoom lists an active Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor license for the company (#164376) — but the same BuildZoom page also shows a separate HIC license, #132523, as inactive after being cancelled, a discrepancy the listing itself doesn't explain. Worth knowing before calling: the detailed customer accounts here run 2016–2017, so it's fair to ask for anything more recent, and to get clarity on which license number is current. For remodeling and repair work — additions, siding, foundation and structural fixes — in the Belmont area, this looks like a name with a long history and reviewers who came back for repeat jobs; just confirm the active license number and ask what they've done lately.

Mike is that rare bird - not only does he know what he's doing, but he is honest, trustworthy, and reasonably priced. He has done all of the work on my home for the past several years, and I have always been very happy with the outcome.
Mike did some siding and weatherproofing to go with a landscaping project we were doing. The landscaping job had many delays but Mike kept the momentum of the entire project going and called often to coordinate the work.
Mike and his crew were very professional. He kept me informed of what to expect, and up to date as the work was being done. He consulted me whenever there were decisions to be made. I felt informed and respected throughout the process. He is very thorough and stands by his work. I have used Mike for a number of jobs. Now my next-door neighbors are having him work on their home too.
Everything went exactly as we had hoped
Mike carefully explained all facets of the job before beginning work, so I had an understanding of what to expect. His crew came prepared, clearly knew what they were doing, and were pleasant and professional at all times. I love the look of the back of my house, and, once again, can use the small porch to safely access the back yard. Most importantly, my large, screened porch was saved from further water damage, and its new roof ensures that, rather than leak through, rain will drain!
