We renovated our kitchen and baths and added central a/c with Don Foote Contracting. They did great work, were great communicators and stayed right on schedule.

Don did our kitchen and dining room renovation, it came out beautiful! Don and his team were a pleasure to work with and did an excellent job. They did all of our custom cabinets which were very high quality and they finished on time! Would definitely use Don Foote again and highly recommend him!

On the recommendation of friends, after interviewing several firms, I hired DFC for a kitchen/bathroom/pantry renovation. From the beginning it felt like a collaborative and creative endeavor. I tremendously enjoyed working with Marta to update my space and benefited from Don and Elise's input. Don is extremely knowledgeable about working in historical buildings and brings a terrific team of specialists whose input was enormously helpful in judgment calls about where to spend money and when a more economical choice would do just as well. There were no surprises in the budgeting, everything was clearly laid out and explained. I also greatly appreciated that Don willingly met with my condo association to explain a design choice that required their approval. I trusted the team (led very competently by construction manager Steve Perkins) to be in my home when I was out of the country for two months. In the aftermath of the renovation, they have been responsive in tweaking the results and addressing issues that arise. I am enjoying my beautifully renovated condo and I'm so pleased with the outcome! This is a team with integrity and style!

I would highly recommend DFC and his amazing crew! They are extremely knowledgeable, friendly, professional and have great vision on a loose palette. They show up on time, work hard during the day, clean up and end of day and come back the next day exactly the same. I'm so glad my amazing decorator, Brenda Reishus of Interior Fashion Advisors brought us together..The Dream Team

We worked with Don Foote Contracting (and project manager Steve Perkins) for a recent remodel of our kitchen and of a bathroom. We loved working with them. They were extremely thoughtful and helpful in the planning stage. The designer, Marta, came up with an idea for the layout of our kitchen that I would never have thought of and was a huge improvement over the original layout. Don went out of his way to think about the mid-century style of our house and make recommendations that suited it. And they were very receptive to our own ideas and thinking of ways to make them work. The construction process itself was extremely well organized and went pretty much to schedule (and no budget surprises). Steve was a pleasure to work with, and great at handling any little problems that came up, and handling various tricky construction details. We're delighted with the results, and would definitely work with DFC again!

My wife and I recently completed a large, 3rd floor remodeling project with Don Foote Contracting.
We were pleased with the professionalism of his team, quality of work and the timeliness of the project to completion.
We are very happy with our new space and would definitely work with Don's team again.

"Dear Don,
As we move through our first holiday season, my wife and I just wanted to send a quick message of thanks for everything you did to transform the house we bought into the home that we love.
From the very beginning your team made (what for many is a daunting prospect) our renovation manageable and actually kind of fun. We were immediately impressed with the professionalism of the team. There was a balance between the design, planning and the execution of the project that resulted in a perfect product at completion. Thanks to excellent communication from the very beginning, we had confidence from a very early time point that our interests and goals would be honored and that we could rely on you to make the best decisions for us when needed and reach out to us when our input was necessary.
The longer we are in the space, the more we appreciate it. I hope that we will be able to work together in the future. Please let us know if there are any prospective clients that you would like us to speak to, as we have nothing but good things to say."

We talked to 5 contractors before selecting Don Foote for our addition, new kitchen, bath and HVAC/hot water system upgrades. His estimate was in the middle to high end of the quotes we received, but the detail in his pricing showed a thorough understanding of the job. We did not get any surprise costs, and his pricing of our change requests was fair and in line with the market. Don impressed us with his knowledge and efforts to reduce the overall job cost while still achieving a top quality result. Don's project manager did a phenomenal job to keep the various subs on track and no detail was too small for him to address. The entire Don Foote team always followed through on our requests. Don's carpenters did an amazing job and his cabinet makers are highly skilled. We highly recommend Don Foote Contracting.

Just the thought of construction made me cringe, then we met Don Foote and his team - From start to finish they were all FANTASTIC. They stuck to timelines, budgets and explained everything along the way. We relied heavily on them for their expertise and they did not disappoint. Living in a construction zone can also be a nightmare but every single contractor they used ALWAYS left our house as clean as possible. We loved the design, the quality work, the professionalism - I cannot believe the transformation of my home - If you want hassle free remodeling (which I thought was unheard of) then I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Don Foote Contracting!

We hired DFC for an extensive addition to our traditional Cape style house. The final addition included a large family room, three season room, master bed + bath, and an additional stall to our existing garage. Our experience with DFC was fantastic...the areas in which they excelled were many. They exceeded our expectations in 1) design/architect interactions, 2) flexibility, 3) final timelines were met without alteration (even after experiencing unanticipated delays), 4) the quality of the finished product is amazing. Our family moved out of the house during construction so we were not present for the majority of the time; however our neighbors raved about how diligent and courteous the DFC team was for the duration of the project.
We were hopeful that we would get high quality results delivered on time, but our expectations underestimated what DFC delivered for us.

Don Foote makes first rate custom cabinets. We do the painting, staining and finishing of his cabinets and have seen the quality workmanship over many years.
Don is easy to work with and a true professional.

We hired Don Foote Contracting to completely redesign a very dated first floor bathroom. They were creative, flexible and patient with our design decisions and provided great design choices on how best to work with the adjoining first floor bedroom. During construction, their timeliness, communication, and workmanship were all stellar and very professional. They also had great recommendations for places to consider for fixtures and other design features.
It's also important to know how a firm works with you when there is an issue. When our marble top showed signs of staining, they quickly diagnosed the cause and made sure everything was resolved. perfectly! The bathroom is beautiful and Don's team is highly recommended!
