I have a residential design/build firm and have been in business since 1980, and we also do interiors and landscaping. My design philosophy is: quality trumps quantity; bigger is not better; design for your lifestyle; if you can't afford what you want upfront, renovate in stages; if you're building new, but can't afford what you want upfront, design so you can build in stages (this can be done); don't be afraid to dream big; choose an architect or designer who is on the same page, and with whom you feel comfortable; in the design phase, remember to plan on furniture inhabiting the space (lots of folks don't and are sorry later); homes should not overpower the lot; kitchens are for gathering, don't cram an island into the space without appropriate clearance for movement; include an adjacent room for caterers and clutter storage if you entertain; create numerous IDEABOOKS; but most of all, enjoy the process - being involved and watching a renovation come together is the most pleasurable thing I do!

Client Testimonials
Pamela Foster is knowledgeable, reliable, dependable, and fun to work with. She has good design ideas of her own but is also willing to work with the client's ideas to produce the result they want. Her connections within the Atlanta building/remodeling are an advantage to her clients. We are very pleased with our new master bathroom and would recommend her highly.
Pamela Foster delivers. She provided us with an excellent design to remodel our kitchen and bar areas (down to the studs) and replace existing French doors with a large picture window in our den. She took our ideas and ran with them, making our kitchen, eating and bar areas more efficient ... and gorgeous! Her 39 years of experience shined through and her attention to detail was incredible. We could not be happier with the end results. She was easy to work with, always punctual and kept us informed of every step along the way. We highly recommend Pamela Foster & Associates for your next project!
Contracting a designer/contractor for a major home renovation is certainly not to be taken lightly. We had narrowed our list down to three considerations for the design and work we wanted to achieve. From our interview with Pamela Foster and the rave reviews we received for her expertise, it was an easy decision to make. From start to finish, we could not have been more pleased with the outcome. Pamela Foster and her associates were a delight in assisting us in realizing our vision for creating a 21st-century renovation that brought in all the design elements and quality work we desired and subsequently received. Pamela is detailed, easy to work with, and brings years of experience that resu...
Pam Foster designed and renovated our kitchen and family room. She and her team did such a good job that we hired them to renovate several other rooms in our house. I selected Pam because she is both the designer and general contractor. Her attention to detail through the entire process was extraordinary. Her design maximized the use of our space and the quality of work was exactly what we were expecting. Her team was polite and considerate to us at all times. The work space was cleaned and organized at the end of each work day to avoid as much disruption for us as possible. Most importantly, having Pam’s experience and design perspective engaged throughout the project made such a dif...
Pam Foster provided exceptional advice and services for renovating my home office. Her knowledge and professionalism were evident with attention to detail and functionality. She obviously has a great deal of experience in the construction arena and during the consultation could explain her ideas and suggestions in language that an inexperienced person such as myself could understand. During the construction she responded quickly to concerns and was frequently on site. The project was completed ahead of plan and slightly over the project cost. I would definitely recommend Pam Foster to my friends and neighbors.
