Michael A Foote Remodeling

Michael A Foote Remodeling has been doing home improvement work out of Belmont for decades — Better Business Bureau records list 44 years in business, and Angi and HomeAdvisor both show a 4.9-star average across 38 ratings. The company describes itself as a broad remodeling operation covering home repairs, additions, baths, kitchens, siding, painting, foundation repairs and new roofs, run by Michael Foote himself. The detailed written reviews on file are dated — five accounts from 2016 and 2017 — but they tell a consistent story. Several describe Foote personally explaining the job before starting, keeping homeowners updated throughout, and standing behind the finished work; a 2016 review recounts him managing a siding and weatherproofing job alongside a delayed landscaping project, calling often to keep both moving. A 2017 review from a repeat client, who had used him for work on the same home over several years, called him "honest, trustworthy, and reasonably priced." On the licensing side, Massachusetts shows an active Home Improvement Contractor registration for the company, #164376. BuildZoom also lists two active City-of-Newton contractor licenses and one older Massachusetts home improvement contractor number that has since gone inactive — the kind of pattern you'd expect when an older registration is superseded by a newer one, not evidence of anything wrong. BBB gives the business an A+ grade, though it hasn't sought BBB accreditation. Worth knowing before calling: the specific written accounts on file stop in 2017, even though the platform rating totals suggest ongoing activity since, so it's worth asking about recent projects and current availability directly. This fits a homeowner with a general remodeling or repair project — additions, kitchens, baths, siding, a new roof — who wants one contractor personally overseeing the work rather than a large crew-driven outfit.
