Whit returned my call within 10 minutes after 7pm and arrived before 9 am the next morning. He diagnosed the issue, went to the store for a new expansion tank, installed it and had everything back up and running by 11 am. His fee was very reasonable. Other plumbers come that quickly and fee's were much higher. I appreciate Foster plumbing's fast response in getting our water back in use. Foster Plumbing will be my go to from now on for any plumbing needs. THANK YOU WHIT!!!
Has been to my home multiple times for plumbing repairs and he's always done a wonderful job. Fast, shows up on time and gives me a more than fair price. Prices have always been less than I expected. Couldn't be happier!
I had him to do some plumbing work on our bathtub, did a great job and very reasonably priced. Job was in tight quarters and he figured it out and made an old tub look modern. Protected our tub and was very professional and friendly. We will definitely use him next time.
Came for an estimate and told us our house wasn't worth the amount of money it would cost for the repair. House is valued at $70,000. Totally rude and obnoxious. We never got an estimate from him because my dad didn't like his attitude. It seemed like he didn't want the job. He called me to find out about the review and claimed to be a Doctor to get me on the phone. What a piece of @#!$. That just takes the cake.
Rude. Arrogant. Not helpful in the least.
Hey there sir! Long time! My home had been an uncared for rental that my dad invested little to no money in maintaining. The home was gifted to me and although appreciative, I quickly realized I would be investing thousands to bring everything up to code. The job was so vast and in horrible conditions, I personally would have not wanted to take on the job. Mr. Foster surprisingly accepted the job and I have not had a single issue with any of the professional work completed. If you can imagine a horror film setting, with cob webs, rotten flooring, new water lines needed throughout, this was the setting. Never a single complaint. Foster improved the value of my home by literally thousands. Every once and a while in life you are fortunate to work with someone who truly takes pride in their work, and gives you a fair price. If you are seeking these qualities, look no further!
I was a carpenter by trade, but moved into other fields after the recession. Long story short, I know people who are in the trades, and then I know people who are passionate about their work and know their s#!+. At first I am always skeptical, but the gentleman that came out within five minutes made me at ease. It was like he knew my house without ever seeing it. As a person who has ripped out bathrooms, a plug in the drain tells me to use a snake and unplug the stoppage... I just didn't want the hassle. This guy came in with a screw driver and within two minutes my drain worked... I'm a handyman, but this guy is a pro. I don't ever leave reviews, but this guy deserves one. He is my plumber, and he should be yours.
My kitchen sink backed up on my daughter’s birthday on a Friday (of course it was a Friday). Found this guy on Google, gave him a call, he texted me back the next morning. He came over that Saturday afternoon, found a massive clog way down the line, and removed a 10’ section of pipe to eliminate the blockage. Super professional, went the extra mile, and his price was very reasonable considering it was a weekend. Whitney will definitely be my preferred plumber going forward. Thank you for everything!
He's a wonderful guy! I don't know, I'm just kind of an old fashioned person. So, he takes me back to the good old days when people used to respect one another and treat everyone with dignity! I've begin to trust him, he is a person who is not out there to lie as I can tell, the rest, the Creator knows. I would definitely recommend him to my family and friends, he is a gem!
Outstanding and friendly service! Saved the day on a Sunday evening without hesitation. Offered knowledgeable and realistic options, problem solved issues, and did high quality work for a great price! Highly recommend. Will be our number one choice for the future! Couldn’t have asked for anything more. Thank you Whitney!
There is a reason you get 5 Stars......This man is 5 Star!!!.........Honest......Fair Pricing......Good Work.......there is a New Plumber listed in My Contacts.....and He is the Man!!!.........Foster.
Called for an emergency plumber for a commerical store and I got a one word answer when I asked for help 'No' - followed with silence. Please work on your manners, not very professional.
Had him to do some plumbing work on our bathroom, did a great job and very reasonably priced. Very professional and friendly. We will definitely use him next time.
I have had Mr. Foster out twice so far. He has shown up on time, does great quality work and, is very friendly. I will recommend him to my friends.
Excellent service and advice! Three days before Christmas, repaired pipe and installed water heater. Thank you so much!
