In leading projects, Foss & Company works with their clients to execute a plan for the project; provides an estimate for its cost including labor, materials, permits, and inspections; hires and schedules subcontractors needed for the project; prequalifies subcontractors, suppliers, and trade partners; keeps clients informed about the project’s status; ensures the worksite is safe; and applies and obtains all necessary building permits.
“We genuinely care about our clients, and we don’t just work for a dollar,” said Foss & Company founder and owner Isaac Foss. “We hope to bring light and encouragement into people’s homes. We value communication, honesty, and excellence in the profession. We prefer residential work because we value the people in our community. When people choose us, we see to it that they are taken care of and respected. We do this by placing a high value on being trustworthy. It’s a big deal to let strangers into your home. Because of this, I only hire subcontractors that I would trust around my family, too. I am very proud of our level of problem-solving skills, as well as the excellence that I see reflected in our finished work.”
Now in business with Foss & Company for 2 ½ years, Foss spent much of his teen and young adult years learning from his father who taught him the trade.
“After a brief season of exploring a career in music, I decided to start my own construction company,” he said. “In the last two and a half years, this company has grown from just me, working out of the back of a Nissan Rogue with hand-me-down tools, to a full team of highly skilled subcontractors and managerial staff.”
His company has grown to include three employees and a team of six subcontractors that they work with regularly. Foss said their prices are upper-mid level for an hourly rate compared to other contractors in the area. 
“Our goal isn’t to give competitive estimates,” he said. “Instead, we give an honest estimate that anticipates unforeseen circumstances. We communicate throughout the process, and we’re just as happy as our clients are when we come in under the estimate. When we are in your home, we maintain organization and cleanliness. Since your home is already disturbed by the renovation, the least we can do is minimize the chaos. We only hire carpenters and subcontractors we trust will uphold our values and our quality of work.”
In some of Foss & Company’s Google reviews, clients say that they are professional and communicative and have complimented their high quality of work, including their attention, friendliness, flexibility and ability to keep their homes livable, along with their respect for deadlines and budget.
“Isaac Foss and his team are highly recommended for construction/renovation work. From quoting to finishing touches, Isaac did great work. My home was built in the 1700’s and was quite challenging to retro fit some of its needs. Also, there were some structural issues that needed to be repaired. He met every challenge with enthusiasm and the outcome far exceeded my expectations.” Rebekha B.
“Isaac and his crew are the answer to your contractor woes. Skillful carpentry, clear communication, respect for deadlines and budget. They’re a real pleasure to work with and have around your space. Can’t recommend them highly enough!" Paul W.
“We appreciated them listening to exactly what we wanted and offering suggestions when what we wanted was not possible due to code requirements.” Michael D.
