Trusted General Contractor for Foster City Homeowners
Hiring a general contractor in Foster City means one decision that affects every wall, surface, and system inside your home. Ashford Contractors handles the full scope: kitchens, bathrooms, roofing, windows, siding, hardscape, and ADUs, all under one contract and one project manager. Led by Glen Mossier, our team works with 50+ name-brand manufacturers so you choose materials from KraftMaid to James Hardie, not from whatever a single supplier happens to stock. If you’re planning a remodel that touches more than one trade, call (877) 752-3868 to talk through the project and get a free estimate.
Construction Company
A construction company in Foster City does more than swing hammers: it manages permits, schedules inspections, coordinates material deliveries, and answers for every sub on site. Ashford Contractors fills that role. We’re the single point of accountability when your project spans framing, electrical, plumbing, finish carpentry, and exterior envelope work. A kitchen remodel in Foster City typically runs $14,000 – $45,000; a bathroom remodel lands between $9,000 and $28,000. Those ranges reflect mid-to-premium material selections, which is what our brand roster supports.
Interior and Exterior Under One Roof
Most remodeling companies stop at the back door. We run roofing, siding, windows, and hardscape through the same project plan as your kitchen or bath. That cuts coordination gaps and keeps your timeline tight.
Material Decisions, Not Contractor Guesswork
We source from Cambria, Silestone, GAF, Owens Corning, Belgard, and Techo-Bloc, among others. When you sit down with us, you’re choosing between actual product lines, not just accepting whatever the crew brings.
Styles & brands we work with
Remodeling Contractor
A remodeling contractor in Foster City should be able to walk every room of your home and tell you what’s load-bearing, what’s cosmetic, and what’s overdue for replacement. That’s how Ashford Contractors works. We quote from plans and material specs, not rough guesses. A small kitchen remodel in Foster City runs $9,000 – $20,000. A paver patio installation runs $3,500 – $11,000. When scopes overlap, like a kitchen that flows into a backyard patio, one contract covers both.
Brand Depth Across Every Category
We specify Kohler, Grohe, Toto, and Moen on plumbing; Therma-Tru on doors; James Hardie on siding. That’s fixture and finish fluency most remodelers don’t carry because they never had to.
ADU and Prefab Capability
We’re one of the few general contractors in Foster City positioned for ADU and prefab builds through Abodu, Dvele, Mighty Buildings, Boxabl, and Plant Prefab. Accessory dwelling units are a growing category, and most remodelers aren’t equipped to deliver them.
Licensed General Contractor
A licensed general contractor in Foster City carries the legal authority to pull permits, pass inspections, and stand behind the work when something goes sideways, as detailed in The Complete General Contractor Guide for Foster City Homeowners. Ashford Contractors is licensed and insured, and we never ask a homeowner to pull their own permit or act as contractor of record for a job we’re running. Home additions in Foster City run $45,000 – $130,000. Garage conversions run $30,000 – $80,000. Those are five-figure investments, and the license is the floor, not the ceiling.
Permits, Inspections, Paperwork
We pull the permits. We schedule the inspections. We deal with the city and the county so you’re never the middleman between a building official and a framing crew.
One Point of Contact, One Contract
Every trade that touches your home answers to Glen Mossier and his project manager. You don’t chase electricians, plumbers, or roofers. You call one number.
Residential General Contractor
A residential general contractor in Foster City works on homes people live in, not commercial build-outs. That changes the calculus: dust control, daily cleanup, noise hours, pets, kids, and neighbors. Ashford Contractors manages all of it. A roof replacement in Foster City runs $8,000 – $20,000. Window replacement runs $4,500 – $15,000. When we’re running multiple scopes at once, we sequence the work so your family can keep living in the house.
Lived-In Home Logistics
We plan around your schedule, not ours. If the kitchen is down, we coordinate a temporary cooking setup. If the bathroom is being converted, we stage the work so you always have one working toilet.
Exterior Envelope, Interior Finish
James Hardie siding, Therma-Tru doors, impact windows, and full roof replacements all run through the same crew and the same project plan as your interior remodel. That’s full-scope coverage, inside and out.
Hire a General Contractor
When you hire a general contractor in Foster City, you’re buying coordination, accountability, and the judgment that comes from seeing thousands of homes stripped to the studs, which is why our General Contractor Maintenance Checklist for Foster City Homeowners can help you plan ahead. Ashford Contractors gives you all three. A tub-to-shower conversion runs $3,500 – $10,000. A paver driveway installation runs $7,000 – $18,000. You don’t need to know what those scopes cost before you call. You need someone who does, and who can tell you honestly what’s worth doing now versus later.
When Multiple Trades Overlap
The moment your project touches framing, electrical, plumbing, and finish carpentry, you need a GC. Not four phone numbers. Not four schedules. One contract that says who shows up and when.
What a Real Estimate Looks Like
Our estimates are written, line-item, and based on actual material specs from the brands you choose. No rough ballpark that doubles mid-project. No change orders unless you change the scope.
General Contractor Services
General contractor services in Foster City span every major home system: kitchens, bathrooms, roofing, siding, windows, doors, fencing, hardscape, and ADUs. Ashford Contractors delivers all of them under one roof. A concrete driveway installation runs $4,500 – $12,000. A metal roof installation runs $15,000 – $40,000. We work with six roofing manufacturers, GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral, so your roof quote reflects genuine material choice, not a single upsell option.
Hardscape and Exterior, In-House
Belgard, Unilock, Tremron, Cambridge Pavers, and Techo-Bloc. We run driveways, patios, and walkways ourselves. We don’t sub that work out to a landscaper who’s never met your project manager.
Fencing and Site Work
We install vinyl and aluminum fencing from ActiveYards and Jerith. When a fence ties into a paver patio and a new driveway, the whole exterior gets one project plan, not three.

Brands We Service
We work closely with Ameristar and ActiveYards on residential and light commercial fencing installations. Ameristar’s steel and aluminum lines are spec’d on projects where longevity and code compliance matter more than the lowest bid. ActiveYards gives Foster City homeowners a real vinyl option with clean lines and minimal maintenance.
We also install Jerith aluminum fence systems and Bufftech vinyl fence lines. Jerith’s residential aluminum holds up well in Bay Area coastal air, which matters in Foster City where salt and moisture sit on metal year-round. Bufftech vinyl is a strong value play for homeowners who want privacy without the upkeep. Whether you have one of these brands already specified or you’re comparing options, we can help you make the call.

AfterSigns You Need a Pro Right Now
- Multiple rooms need work at once. When a kitchen, bathroom, and exterior all need attention, sequencing matters. A general contractor plans the order of operations so trades don’t trip over each other and you’re not living in a construction zone for months longer than necessary.
- You’re getting quotes that don’t match. One contractor says $40,000 for a kitchen. Another says $12,000. Discrepancies that wide usually mean one of them isn’t looking at the same scope. A licensed GC writes line-item estimates so you can compare apples to apples.
- Structural questions are unresolved. If you’re removing walls, adding a second story, or converting a garage, you need someone who understands load paths. That’s not a handyman call. It’s a licensed general contractor call.
- Permits are required but nobody wants to pull them. Foster City has its own building codes and inspection process. A contractor who suggests skipping permits is telling you to accept liability for their work. We don’t do that.
- Your project spans interior and exterior. The moment a remodel touches the roof, siding, windows, or driveway, you need one firm that handles all of it. Splitting interior and exterior scopes across two contractors doubles your coordination burden.
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
Initial call and scope review. You tell us what’s wrong or what you want changed. We ask questions about square footage, age of systems, and your material preferences. If the project sounds like a fit, we schedule a site visit.
- 2
On-site walkthrough. Glen Mossier or his project manager walks the property with you. We look at the foundation, framing, electrical panel, plumbing runs, and roof condition. We take measurements and notes that become the basis for your line-item estimate.
- 3
Written estimate and material selection. We spec actual products from our brand roster: Cambria or Silestone for counters, Kohler or Toto for fixtures, GAF or Owens Corning for roofing. You see the cost of each line item before you commit.
- 4
Permits, scheduling, and construction. We pull permits, schedule inspections, and run the job with one project manager who’s your single point of contact. Daily cleanup, dust control, and progress updates are part of the job, not an add-on.
- 5
Final walkthrough and closeout. We walk every room and every exterior surface with you. Knock list items get resolved before we call the job done. You keep the documentation, the warranty information, and the material specs for every product installed.
How Much Does General Contractor Cost in Foster City?
A typical kitchen remodel in Foster City runs $14,000 – $45,000 depending on cabinet line, countertop material, appliance rough-ins, and whether walls move. A bathroom remodel runs $9,000 – $28,000; a small bathroom runs $5,000 – $12,000. Home additions are the biggest single scope at $45,000 – $130,000, and ADU construction runs $90,000 – $220,000 depending on whether you go stick-built or prefab through Abodu, Dvele, or Boxabl.
What moves the price: material tier (Wellborn cabinets cost more than KraftMaid, Silestone costs more than entry-level quartz), structural changes (moving a wall is not the same as replacing a cabinet), and site access (homes on sloped Foster City lots or with tight side yards cost more to stage). The way to avoid overpaying is to get a line-item written estimate and compare it against a second line-item written estimate. Vague lump sums hide margins. Our free estimate includes material specs, scope detail, and a timeline, so you know exactly what you’re paying for before you sign. Call (877) 752-3868 to schedule yours.
